Description

This is a tool cmdlet for debugging.

Together with Get-KFDateTime and Set-KFDateTime this cmdlet can be used to simulate time differences in a debugging context. First you set a time difference with Set-KFDateTime that is relative to the current time. When you get the time using Get-KFDateTime the difference is added or substracted from the current time. In combination with Get-KFInDebug you can simulate a workflow run "later" or "earlier", e.g. if you check time stamps against the current time.

With Set-KFDataTime you set the time difference.

The first option is to set a difference based on a DateTime specified with -ReferenceDateTime <datetime>. During execution the difference between this DateTime and DateTime.Now is calculated. When you later get the DateTime with Get-KFDateTime this calculated difference is used to manipulate the current datetime. - When using -ReferenceDateTime together with -UTC the given DateTime is handled as UTC and the difference is calculated agains DateTime.UtcNow.

The second option is to set a difference based on an amount of seconds specified with -AddSeconds <int>. This can also be a negative value. When you later get the DateTime with Get-KFDateTime this amount of seconds is added to manipulate the current datetime.

Parameters

[-ThrowErrors[:$true]]

This is a default parameter for all kenaflow cmdlets. If set to $true (default!) the engine will pass exception within the cmdlet to the script for further handling.
