Start-ASConversion

Powershell cmdlets are enabled with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition and with Workflow Manager.

Use the Start-ASConversion cmdlet to start Automatic Application Converter using a given .aacx file. This cmdlet is usually used after you have added one or more packages using the Add-ASPackageForConversion cmdlet, which returns a path to an .aacx file. This .aacx file is then passed to the Start-ASConversion cmdlet to start the conversion.
