This project is for experimenting with the Nyquist System Export report and possibly other Nyquist-related functionality.
One idea is to define an XSL transform that will convert the XML file to an HTML page. This has potential issues, but has potential.
To view the Nyquist System Parameters report using this XSL conversion, add the following line to the XML file on the second line, immediately after <?xml version="1.0">:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="system_export.xsl"?>
The Pscx module contains several cmdlets that could be useful in this context, most notably Convert-Xml, which can apply an XSLT transform on an XML file. This should allow the existing System Export report to be converted to HTML without having to modify the existing Nyquist implementation (as the XML file won't need to have the XSLT reference added to it).
Convert-Xml -Path '.\system_export (fixed).xml' -XsltPath ".\system_export.xsl" Another idea is to define a PowerShell module that can parse a System Export report and convert it to any of multiple formats to allow the user to view and and manipulate the report data.
The NyquistTools module is a prototype of that module. The following shows a few examples of how the report can be viewed. Note that the report file, system_export.xml, must first be downloaded and stored locally.
