Why not use Get-CMApplication -Name for Get-AppList.ps1?

[obuolinis]

Ben, why are you retrieving the whole list of CM apps and then do filtering by name on the client side when you can make use of the "Name" parameter of Get-CMApplication supporting wildcards and let the server do the filtering?

My environment (300+ apps):

• 3-4s for $apps = Get-CMApplication -Fast | Where-Object { $_.LocalizedDisplayName -like "*java*" }
• <1s for $apps = Get-CMApplication -Name "*java*" -Fast

What is the speed difference when using the -fast switch in your environment between the 2 commands?

[obuolinis]

But I already used -Fast above... Or you mean with and without -Fast?

• $apps = Get-CMApplication | Where-Object { $_.LocalizedDisplayName -like "*java*" }
  this takes insanely long
• $apps = Get-CMApplication -Name "*java*"
  this completes in 1-1.5s

When you say insanely long, what do you mean? In your first comment you indicated it took 3-4 seconds?

[obuolinis]

Ben, my first measurement/comment included -Fast parameter, my second one didn't :)

[byteben]

Which function/line are you referring to please?

Win32App-Migration-Tool/Private/Get-AppList.ps1

Line 55 in bb79559

$applicationResult = Get-CMApplication -Fast | Where-Object { $_.LocalizedDisplayName -like "$AppName" -and (-not ($_.LocalizedDisplayName -like "$ExcludeFilter") ) -and (-not ($_.LocalizedDescription -like "$Pmpc_Comment") ) } | Select-Object @{ Name = 'Id'; Expression = { $_.CI_ID.toString() } }, LocalizedDisplayName, HasContent, NumberOfDeploymentTypes, IsDeployable, IsDeployed, DateCreated, DateLastModified, LastModifiedBy | Sort-Object LocalizedDisplayName

This and all the other "Get-CMApplication -Fast" references in the same file.
