First line in powershell script invalid no matter what

Question

Having a strange issue, when executing a powershell command in adaxes as a business rule, the first line, no matter what is there comes up as invalid. Originally my script started with a commented line, but I've tried everything and universally the first line is flagged as invalid

Hello,

For troubleshooting purposes, please, specify how exactly you add scripts to the Run a program or PowerShell script action?

Also, please, post here or send us (support@adaxes.com) a screenshot of the Multi-server environment dialog. The dialog displays how many Adaxes services you have and what their versions are. For information on how to view it, see https://www.adaxes.com/help/MultiServerEnvironment.

Here is how the script is executed:

Hello,

Here is how the script is executed

Sorry for the confusion, but the question is not about how the script is executed. We need to know, how you add it to the action. For example, you can directly write the script in the editor. Alternatively, the script can be added from a file that you open through the editor by browsing your file system.

Thank you for the provided screenshot.

I've copy/pasted it and opened it via a file saved in Powershell ISE, both ways had the same outcome.

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying. To resolve the issue, please, do the following:

1. Copy the script from this thread (you provided it earlier) to a text editor, e.g. Notepad.
2. Remove the first two lines (one is empty and the other imports the Adaxes module).
3. Launch Adaxes Administration console.
4. Navigate to the business rule in question and right-click Run PowerShell script ‘Outbound-Updates-to-Oracle’ for the user.
5. In the context menu, click Delete Action.
6. In the dialog that opens, click Yes.
7. Right-click Do nothing and then click Add Action.
8. Select Run a program or PowerShell script.
9. Specify a script description and click Edit.
10. Copy/paste the script from the text editor (make sure not to save it in any way).
11. Click OK twice and save the changes.

The execution should work fine in this case. The best approach is to directly write scripts in Adaxes script editor to avoid any issues with formatting added by other applications.
