Description
The New-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlDatabase cmdlet is used during initial configuration and farm scale-out to create a new crawl database, which can be added to a search service application. A crawl database stores crawl history for a search application.
For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.
Examples
EXAMPLE
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
New-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlDatabase -SearchApplication $ssa -DatabaseName newCrawlDB
This example creates a new crawl database named newCrawlDB for the mySearchServiceApp search service application.
Parameters
-AssignmentCollection
Applicable: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019
Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
