is missing the terminator: error when PAL starts to process BLG file

description

Hi,
 
Have tried this with several different blg's and consistently get the same error. This is what I am submitting :-

Powershell ".\PAL.ps1"
-Log E:\DBA\PAL\BLG's\SIDUV1\PAL_Microsoft_SQL_Server_2005_2008.blg
-ThresholdFile 'C:\Program Files\PAL\PAL\SQLServer.xml'
-Interval 'AUTO'
-IsOutputHtml $True
-HtmlOutputFileName '[LogFileName]_PAL_ANALYSIS_[DateTimeStamp].htm'
-IsOutputXml $False
-XmlOutputFileName '[LogFileName]_PAL_ANALYSIS_[DateTimeStamp].xml'
-OutputDir 'E:\DBA\PAL\Reports'
-AllCounterStats $True
-NumberOfThreads 1
-NumberOfProcessors '16'
-ThreeGBSwitch $False
-SixtyFourBit $True
-TotalMemory '24'
-RAID5Drives 'NULL'
-RAID1Drives 'NULL'
 
This is the error I get :-

The user removed the single quote from the file path which was being interpreted as a literal string in PowerShell.

The single quote in your log path is being interpreted by PowerShell as a literal quote. Please use file paths that do not include single quotes.

Please let me know if removing the single quote from the path resolves this issue. Thank you.

Hi Clint,

The single quote in the path was the problem. Once I removed the quote, it all worked fine.

Thanks for your help. Please close the call.

Great! Thank you for letting me know that it worked. :-)
