Issue

  • SCW reports a critical error similar to the following example in the Windows Application Event log.

Example 1:

Critical SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: entry doesn't exist 
  at System.Management.Automation.Internal.PipelineProcessor.SynchronousExecuteEnumerate(Object input, Hashtable errorResults, Boolean enumerate)
  at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalPipeline.InvokeHelper()
  at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalPipeline.InvokeThreadProc()

Example 2:

Critical SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: entry doesn't exist 
 at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.Invoke(IEnumerable input)
 at SnapDrive.Nsf.Common.PowerShell.PSHelper.RunCommand(Command command,
IEnumerable input)

Example 3:

Critical SDW PID=[<PID>] TID=[<TID>] The running command stopped because the preference variable ""ErrorActionPreference"" or common parameter is set to Stop:

  • Outputs similar to the following example can be seen in the SCWDebug.log.

Example 1:
