asked on PowerShell to crete HTML report
I am using the attached PowerShell scripts (XeAapp_Check.ps1, Ctx_functions.ps1) to export the XenApp 4.5 Zone details to HTML file as a report. On executing the script for the first time I am getting the desired result but unfortunately everytime I execute the script, the zone details gets appended to that report.
Here is my server details:
Farm Name: MyFarm
Server Name zone Name
========== ==========
XEN-1 192.168.1.0
XEN-2 TEST ZONE
Please assist me to get the correct result so that I can get the desired output by correctly modifying that script.

Yes, that is the exact problem. Can you please guide me to rectify this?

Please find the attached expected result.

XenApp-Check--Farm-Name--MyFarm-.mht
in XenApp-Check.txt script just before you call out-file to save as .htm (scroll all the way down the script), you wanna delete them if already exists:
if(Test-Path $FileXenApp_Check){
remove-item $FileXenApp_Check
}
if(Test-Path $FileXenApp_CheckBackup){
remove-item $FileXenApp_CheckBackup
}
$XenAppReport | out-file -encoding ASCII -filepath $FileXenApp_Check
$XenAppReport | out-file -encoding ASCII -filepath $FileXenApp_CheckBackup
echo "DONE"
i saw that you hard coded:
$Check_OutputEnteteZone = "TRUE"
when u generate the html, you iterate the zones:
If ($Check_OutputEnteteZone -eq "TRUE")
{
Foreach ($Zones in $Zones) {
so the if statement is redundant (cause its always true).
$Check_OutputEnteteZone = "TRUE"

I've added the code you provided but still having the same result (please see the attached file). The report gets deleted but when recreated, the restult gets appended in the report.
I am not that much expert on PowerShell. Can you please guide me what should I do in case if I set $Check_OutputEnteteZone = "TRUE".
It would be very helpful of me if you could provide me the rectified code.

Event I've deleted the "If ($Check_OutputEnteteZone -eq "TRUE")" condition and then executed the script, but getting same result.
#Farm Name
$XenAppReport = Get-CustomHTML "Farm Name : $Farm"
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose
#Write-CustomOut "..Adding Zones Details Info to the report"
Foreach ($Zones in $Zones) {
$OutputEnteteZone2 += @($Zones | Select @{N="Zone Name";E={if($Zones.ZoneName -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.ZoneName}}}, @{N="Zone Data Collector";E={if($Zones.DataCollector -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.DataCollector}}}) }
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeader ("Zone(s) Details : "+($Zones_Count))
$XenAppReport += Get-HTMLTable $OutputEnteteZone2
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose
$Date = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMddHH"
$FileXenApp_Check = $Path + $FileName + ".htm"
$FileXenApp_CheckBackup = $PathBackup + $FileName + "_" + $date + ".htm"
if(Test-Path $FileXenApp_Check){
remove-item $FileXenApp_Check
}
if(Test-Path $FileXenApp_CheckBackup){
remove-item $FileXenApp_CheckBackup
}

What I have seen that, if I change the following variable name everytime then, I am getting the desired result.
$OutputEnteteZone
Also, I there is any way to delete the value of that variable then I think the result will come but I don't have any clue about how to do this.

change this:
to this:
--> remove if stetment and foreach stetment.
the if is redundant and the foreach already takes place when you call:
$OutputEnteteZone1 += @($Zones | ....
If ($Check_OutputEnteteZone -eq "TRUE")
{
Foreach ($Zones in $Zones) {
$OutputEnteteZone1 += @($Zones | Select @{N="Zone Name";E={if($Zones.ZoneName -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.ZoneName}}}, @{N="Zone Data Collector";E={if($Zones.DataCollector -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.DataCollector}}}) }
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeader ("Zone(s) Details : "+($Zones_Count))
$XenAppReport += Get-HTMLTable $OutputEnteteZone1
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose
}
to this:
$OutputEnteteZone1 += @($Zones | Select @{N="Zone Name";E={if($Zones.ZoneName -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.ZoneName}}}, @{N="Zone Data Collector";E={if($Zones.DataCollector -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.DataCollector}}})
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeader ("Zone(s) Details : "+($Zones_Count))
$XenAppReport += Get-HTMLTable $OutputEnteteZone1
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose
--> remove if stetment and foreach stetment.
the if is redundant and the foreach already takes place when you call:
$OutputEnteteZone1 += @($Zones | ....
btw, can u debug your script?
ASKER
Please find below the code as you instructed and the attached result. The result is getting appended everytime and the ouput is producing an error as $Zones.ZoneName value is producing NULL value.
$XenAppReport = Get-CustomHTML "Farm Name : $Farm"
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose
$OutputEnteteZone1 += @($Zones | Select @{N="Zone Name";E={if($Zones.ZoneName -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.ZoneName}}}, @{N="Zone Data Collector";E={if($Zones.DataCollector -eq $Null){"Error"}else{$Zones.DataCollector}}})
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeader ("Zone(s) Details : "+($Zones_Count))
$XenAppReport += Get-HTMLTable $OutputEnteteZone1
$XenAppReport += Get-CustomHeaderClose
$Date = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMddHH"
$FileXenApp_Check = $Path + $FileName + ".htm"
$FileXenApp_CheckBackup = $PathBackup + $FileName + "_" + $date + ".htm"
if(Test-Path $FileXenApp_Check){
remove-item $FileXenApp_Check
}
if(Test-Path $FileXenApp_CheckBackup){
remove-item $FileXenApp_CheckBackup
}
$XenAppReport | out-file -encoding ASCII -filepath $FileXenApp_Check
$XenAppReport | out-file -encoding ASCII -filepath $FileXenApp_CheckBackup
echo "DONE"
the problem is not appending the file but the $zones creation.
there's a function called GET-XAZone i assume which returns aggregated $Zones.
i couldn't;t find source of this function in the files you've attached.
please check $Zones.Count when code is back from GET-XAZone.
i guess that from second run you get aggregated result.
but again do not have the source of GET-XAZone.

btw, you can remove the test-path code i've suggested before cause its not the issue.

I posted the above result after debugging my script only.

Excellent Subsun. It's working perfectly now after setting $OutputEnteteZone1 to $null.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
