Breaking changes

Data Lake Store

The following cmdlets were affected this release (PR 2965):

Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Get-AdlStoreItemAcl)

  • This cmdlet was removed and replaced with Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry).
  • The old cmdlet returned a complex object representing the access control list (ACL). The new cmdlet returns a simple list of entries in the chosen path’s ACL.
# Old
Get-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

# New
Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry)

  • This cmdlet replaces the old cmdlet Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Get-AdlStoreItemAcl).
  • This new cmdlet returns a simple list of entries in the chosen path’s ACL, with type DataLakeStoreItemAce[].
  • The output of this cmdlet can be passed in to the -Acl parameter of the following cmdlets:
    • Remove-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl
    • Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl
    • Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry
# Old
Get-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

# New
Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

Remove-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Remove-AdlStoreItemAcl), Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Set-AdlStoreItemAcl), Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Set-AdlStoreItemAclEntry)

  • These cmdlets now accept DataLakeStoreItemAce[] for the -Acl parameter.
  • DataLakeStoreItemAce[] is returned by Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry).
# Old
$acl = Get-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo
Set-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo -Acl $acl

# New
$aclEntries = Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo
Set-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo -Acl $aclEntries

ApiManagement

The following cmdlets were affected this release (PR 2971):

New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork

  • The required parameters to reference a virtual network changed from requiring SubnetName and VnetId to SubnetResourceId in format/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ClassicNetwork/virtualNetworks/{virtualNetworkName}/subnets/{subnetName}
# Old
$virtualNetwork = New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location <String> -SubnetName <String> -VnetId <Guid>

# New
$virtualNetwork = New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location <String> -SubnetResourceId <String>

Deprecating Cmdlet Set-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetworks

  • The Cmdlet is getting deprecated as there was more than one way to Set Virtual Network associated to ApiManagement deployment.
# Old
$networksList = @()
$networksList += New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location $vnetLocation -VnetId $vnetId -SubnetName $subnetName
Set-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetworks -ResourceGroupName "ContosoGroup" -Name "ContosoApi" -VirtualNetworks $networksList

# New
$masterRegionVirtualNetwork = New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location <String> -SubnetResourceId <String>
Update-AzureRmApiManagementDeployment -ResourceGroupName "ContosoGroup" -Name "ContosoApi" -VirtualNetwork $masterRegionVirtualNetwork
