Adding the PowerShell Snap-ins

Quest One Identity Manager Data Governance Edition comes with three PowerShell snap-ins for you to use to manage your environment:

Snap-in Name Usage Details
Quest.DataGovernance Contains commands used to manage the deployment of Data Governance components. Deploying the Classification Server and the Classification Worker
Quest.Classification Contains commands used to manage taxonomies and analyze your classification environment. Troubleshooting Deployment
Managing Taxonomies
QuestQCS Contains commands that you can use to connect to the Classification Server and generate diagnostic information to troubleshoot your classification deployment. Troubleshooting Deployment
Managing Taxonomies

Note: You need to import the snapin by running the Import-Module QuestQCS command.

Finding a Taxonomy, Category, or Extractor ID using PowerShell

Many of the PowerShell commands you can use to manipulate your taxonomies require that you know the ID of a category. You must know the parent taxonomy of the category.

To determine a taxonomy ID using PowerShell

  • To determine the taxonomy ID, run the Get-QTaxonomies command and provide the ServerAddress.
    Provide the name of the computer hosting the Data Governance server, and the port. Enter in the form computername:port number. The default port is 8723.
    You can also use the Get-TaxonomyByName command to retrieve the taxonomy ID if you know the taxomomy name.

To determine a category ID using PowerShell

  1. Determine the ID of the parent taxonomy.

  2. The taxonomy ID has the same properties as a category. You can use a category ID and a taxonomy ID interchangeably in the commands. For example, you can manage the properties of the taxonomy root when it is used as a category, or use the taxonomy root as a parent category when adding new categories to a taxonomy.
  3. Run the Get-QTaxonomyTree command with the following parameters:
    1. ServerAddress
      Provide the name of the computer hosting the Data Governance server, and the port. Enter in the form computername:port number. The default port is 8723.
    2. TaxonomyID.
  4. Locate the desired category and note or copy the ID.

To determine an extractor ID using PowerShell

  • To determine the extractor ID, run the Get-QTextExtractors command and provide the ServerAddress.
    Provide the name of the computer hosting the Data Governance server, and the port. Enter in the form computername:port number. The default port is 8723.

Deploying the Classification Server and the Classification Worker

The following commands in the Quest.DataGovernance snapin can be used to deploy and configure the Classification Server. It is recommended that the Manager be used for easier deployment. For full details, see the command help, using the Get-Help command.

Use this command If you want to
Get-QClassificationServerDeploymentOptions Obtain the Classification default configuration settings. This must be performed before you can deploy the server.
Get-QDeploymentInfo View deployment information for your Data Governance Server including the deployment ID, classification server name, and the classification port.
Deploy-QClassificationServer Deploy the Classification Server with the required configuration settings to a specified host computer, and install it. This results in the required services running on the remote computer that process classification data and respond to queries regarding classification.
Deploy-QClassificationWorker Deploys a Classification worker to a specified computer. This service is responsible for processing classification data and responding to queries regarding classification. This command requires that the Classification server has been previously deployed (using the Deploy-QClassificationServer command).
Deploy-QDefaultTaxonomies Deploys the default taxonomies. For details on these taxonomies, see Appendix C: Classifying Data with Data Governance Templates.
Set-QDeploymentInfo Change the deployment parameters for the Data Governance server including the deployment ID, classification server name, and the classification port.

Note: Changing this value can prevent the Data Governance service from communicating with existing agents. It is not recommended to change the deployment ID of an existing server.
