Powershell script Discovery doesn't work

Hi

We have a situation to populate a group (created with in a sealed MP) with the objects already created by an unsealed Management pack (using templates like windows service).

Using a power shell discovery script with target on Rootmanagement Server.

in the script below $cis.Count confirms the the Classinstance being fetched from the Unsealed MP. Is the assignment $relationshipInstance.Target = $ci correct or is there a better way to do this.

the Script is

param($sourceId,$managedEntityId,$appName)

Import-Module OperationsManager

$api = new-object -comObject 'MOM.ScriptAPI'

$discoveryData = $api.CreateDiscoveryData(0, $SourceId, $ManagedEntityId)

$ms = "Server01"

$mp = Get-SCOMManagementPack -Name "UnsealedManagementpackname" -ComputerName $ms

$C = get-ScomClass -ManagementPack $mp -ComputerName $ms

$cis = get-scomclassinstance -Class $C -ComputerName $ms

$groupInstance = $discoveryData.CreateClassInstance("$MPElement[Name='GroupID']$")

foreach ($ci in $cis)

{

$relationshipInstance = $discoveryData.CreateRelationshipInstance("$MPElement[Name='MSIL!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroupContainsEntities']$")

$relationshipInstance.Source = $groupInstance

$relationshipInstance.Target = $ci

$discoveryData.AddInstance($relationshipInstance)

}

Hi Habeeb,

I observered that $C = get-ScomClass -ManagementPack $mp -ComputerName $ms returns always $null if run this script inside management pack powershell timed discovery workflow. It works fine from poweshell console.

Hello!

I guess it should looks like this: $relationshipInstance.Target($ci)
