Examples

Example 1

This example creates a new performance point service app in the local farm.

Configuration Example 
{
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [PSCredential]
        $SetupAccount
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

    node localhost {
        SPPerformancePointServiceApp PerformancePoint
        {
            Name = "Performance Point Service Application"
            ApplicationPool = "SharePoint Web Services"
            InstallAccount  = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}

Example 2

This example removes the specific performance point service app from the local farm. The ApplicationPool parameter is still mandatory but it is not used, so the value can be anything.

Configuration Example 
{
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [PSCredential]
        $SetupAccount
    )
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

    node localhost {
        SPPerformancePointServiceApp PerformancePoint
        {
            Name = "Performance Point Service Application"
            ApplicationPool = "n/a"
            Ensure = "Absent"
            InstallAccount  = $SetupAccount
        }
    }
}
