New-PowerPivotSystemServiceInstance cmdlet

SQL Server 2012

Adds a new instance of PowerPivot System Service to an application server.

Description

The New-PowerPivotSystemServiceInstance cmdlet provisions a new PowerPivotSystemService object at the farm-level after you have used SQL Server Setup to install PowerPivot for SharePoint on the local application server. You can only provision one service instance on each application server. If the service is already provisioned, you cannot run this cmdlet.

Example 1

C:\PS>New-PowerPivotSystemServiceInstance -Provision:$true

This example shows the most common form of the cmdlet. It registers the PowerPivot System Service on the local application server with the farm.

Example 2

C:\PS>New-PowerPivotSystemServiceInstance -SystemServiceInstanceName "MyPSSInstance" -provision:$false

This example names the PowerPivot System Service instance, but without provisioning it. If you do not provide a name, the default name, SQL Server Analysis Services System Service Instance, is used instead. Creating a custom name for the service is optional. You might name the service to support test scenarios, or if you have a custom tool or script that provisions the instance in a later step.
