Use Powershell

How do I use the Set-VBRJobSchedule cmdlet?

I am trying this, but I get this error:

Code: Select all

set-vbrjobschedule (Get-VBRJob "test1") -retrytimes 3

Code: Select all

Set-VBRJobSchedule : Bad ParameterSet Name
At line:1 char:19
+ set-vbrjobschedule <<<<  (Get-VBRJob "test1") -retrytimes 3
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidResult: (Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBJob:CD
   BJob) [Set-VBRJobSchedule], ArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Backup,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Command.Job.SetJo
   bScheduleOptions

Any ideas? I cannot figure out what Bad ParameterSet Name means.

Thanks,

eric

Welcome to Veeam community!

Please have a look at the existing topic with the same question:

Thanks Vitaliy,

I have looked at that post numerous times. While at the beginning of the post the do talk about Set-VBRJobSchedule, I do not see any examples of how to use it, or anything close to what my error is.

Error with set-vbrjobschedule (Get-VBRJob "test1") -retrytimes 3 :

Code: Select all

Set-VBRJobSchedule : Bad ParameterSet Name

They do have a little snipit in there, but since I am still new to powershell, I am unable to get it to work for me, with the options I want to set. I basically want each job to start on 15 minutes intervals, and run nightly. I have a text file of Job names, and start times. This will help minimize our network load during our other backup windows as well. Should be relatively straight forward according to the syntax in the help. But, just like the other poster, it is challenging to decipher what is really needed.

I have been able to create a bunch of jobs using powershell, I just need to schedule them all now.

Sample Syntax that I am trying:

Code: Select all

Set-VBRJobSchedule (Get-VBRJob "test1") -retrytimes 3 -StartDateTime "2010-05-13 22:00:51"
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-nul
l, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
At line:1 char:31
+ Set-VBRJobSchedule (Get-VBRJob <<<<  "test1") -retrytimes 3 -StartDateTime "2
010-05-13 22:00:51"
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], ConstraintException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Data.ConstraintException

Eric,

Unfortunately, our main PowerShell guy is on vacation right now, I will try to research it for you and as soon as I get any information I will update this thread.

Vitaly,

Thanks, that would be great. I created quite a few jobs with powershell, and I really do not want to manually schedule each one.

Eric,

Regarding Set-VBRJobSchedule cmdlet... This cmdlet cannot be used to set a job schedule, it just only changes already defined parameters for your job. If you would like to set a schedule for your job you should follow the example from my first post.

Hope it helps!
