Andys scripting corner - List / Set Scheduling Options

Apr 11, 2012 7:05 pm

This was a hard one, because there are some wrong displayed options and you need additional commands.

Code: Display Job scheduling options:

Code: Select all


Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$JobName = "Rep001-002-auto-Win2008-XX"
$JobnameObject = Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}
$JobnameObjectSchedule = $JobnameObject | Get-VBRjobscheduleoptions
$JobnameObjectSchedule
write-host "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
write-host "OptionsDaily"
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily
write-host "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
write-host "OptionsMonthly"
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsMonthly
write-host "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
write-host "OptionsPeriodically"
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsPeriodically
write-host "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
write-host "OptionsContinuous"
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsContinuous
write-host "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
write-host "OptionsBackupWindow"
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsBackupWindow

Write-host "Be carefull, OptionsDaily displays optionsdaily.kind as DayNumberInMonth"

Hi ... I have to say sorry, but the code not working on one point.

Code: Select all

$OptionsDailyAddTime = "21:00:00"
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Time = $OptionsDailyAddTime
Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions -Job $JobnameObject -Options $JobnameObjectSchedule

works only for some seconds. After that B&R automatically set jobcreation time +5 minutes. For next run.

Same problem like here

I will check this out internally.

This one works.
You have to set more options in Version 6 for dailyjob time.

Example: Set scheduling time for daily backup scheduler

Code: Select all

$JobName = "Rep001-002-auto-Win2008-XX"

$OptionsDailyAddTime = "23:02:00" #Attention: If you set a new time. The "Next run" column in the jobview will be updated after the next job run.

$JobnameObject = Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}
$JobnameObjectSchedule = $JobnameObject | Get-VBRjobscheduleoptions
If ($RetrySpecifiedAdd -eq "True"){
$JobnameObjectSchedule.RetrySpecified = $true

The script might work for daily jobs, but regarding periodical schedules I can't confirm it helps much.

Is it possible to set up a schedule to run a job once in 2 weeks? I already tried periodical schedule with 336 hours interval but sooner or later it resets to a once-in-a-week scheme. In v5 I used to fix it with the following script. To my disappointment it doesn't work for v6.

Let's suppose I want "BACKUP-ESX1" to run on 04.05.2012 21:00:00 and currently its next run time is 27.04.2012. After running

$NextRun = get-date ("04.05.2012 21:00:00")
$LastRun = $NextRun.AddDays(-14)

$Job = get-vbrjob | where {$_.name -eq "BACKUP-ESX1"}
$schedule = $job.GetScheduleOptions()
$schedule.NextRun = $NextRun
$schedule.LatestRun = $LastRun
Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions -job ($job) -options ($schedule)

Veeam console shows the change for a short time but then falls back on 27.04.2012.

You could just schedule it via windows task manager very simple and effective

Apr 29, 2012 10:04 pm

Hi arnike,

yes, in v6 there are some changes.
You need to set the time 3 times. in the scheduler, at next run and startdatetime.

Ad this to your script and I bet that this will work in v6 again.
If you look at my first post and second reply I had the exact same problem and you can see the changes in the code.

Hi Andreas,

I'm sorry I don't understand. I used your script in v6. I set time at 2pm, periodically every 2 hours.
In the "next run" the time will change to 2pm but every 5 seconds in switches back to 2 hours from the job modification time.
You mentioned something about set the time 3 times. But where do I have to set the time 3 times do you have an solution for me.

Kind regards,

Hi ANdy,

Script does not work. There is no option "daily, monthly, periodically or continious" selected after is run the script.
So time is 4:00pm daily but not selected. If job is run, it will never run again.

Unfortunatly

Maybe you have an other idea.

KInd regards,

mx_michael.preis · Oct 09, 2012 1:13 pm

We also have the same problem. We tried to edit your script, but it is not possible to alter the periodical options. Maybe there is a problem with the database, where the "schedule" column in the table "BJobs" is read-only.

Can you check this again?
