NAME New-BMEnvironment



SYNOPSIS

Creates a new environment in a BuildMaster instance.





SYNTAX

New-BMEnvironment [-Session] <Object> [-Name] <String> [[-ParentName] <String>] [-Inactive] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

[<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The `New-BMEnvironment` creates a new environment in BuildMaster. Pass the name of the environment to the `Name`

parameter. Names may only contain letters, numbers, periods, underscores, or dashes and may not end with an

underscore or dash.



Every environment must have a unique name. If you create a environment with a duplicate name, you'll get an error.



Environments can't be deleted. Deleted environments are just disabled/inactive. If you need to reactivate/enable a

disabled environment, use `Enable-BMEnvironment`. If you try to create a new environment with the same name as an

inactive environment, you'll get an error.



Pass a session object representing the instance of BuildMaster to use to the `Session` parameter. Use the

`New-BMSession` function to create session objects.



This function uses BuildMaster's infrastructure management API.
