Enable "After this job" option
I was able to use a powershell script to schedule multiple replication jobs. I also used the following command to set the "After this job" option to the previous job.
Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $CreateJobName -Afterjob $PrevJobName
But when I look at the job, the "After this job" is not enabled, I do see the correct previous job but it is grayed out.
The "Run the job automatically" is checked using: $JobnameObject.options.JobOptions.RunManually = $false
I can't figure out how to enable the "After this job" button.
I'm using Veeam B&R 8.0
thanks

Re: Enable "After this job" option
If I'm not mistaken, it's a known issue with VB&R v8. Try to update to the latest product version and see whether it fixes the problem. Thanks.I can't figure out how to enable the "After this job" button. I'm using Veeam B&R 8.0.

Re: Enable "After this job" option
I am trying to do the same in VB&R 9.0 and I am seeing the same behavior still.
> Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $CIFSJob -Afterjob $TapeJob
After running the command above the AfterJob property of the $CIFSJob under Schedule does update to the $TapeJob name but it is not enabled. Is there a way to enable the 'after this job' option?

Re: Enable "After this job" option
I found the answer. It is actually documented in the cmdlet help documentation. Just after the switch -after and the Afterjob option will be enabled, like this:
> Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $CIFSJob -after -Afterjob $TapeJob
> Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $CIFSJob -after -Afterjob $TapeJob

Re: Enable "After this job" option
Indeed, correct syntax includes usage of both parameters after and afterjob. The former enables job chaining, the latter sets a job after which modified job should be executed.
Glad to hear that you're able to find that information on your own.

Re: Enable "After this job" option
I found a curious issue when applying the regular (CIFS jobs) using -afterjob option to Tape jobs. Even with the -after option, the schedule for -afterjob job doesn't get activated, the same behavior as without applying the -after switch.
i.e,
> Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $TapeJob after -Afterjob $CIFSJob
doesn't work
but
> Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $CIFSJob -after -Afterjob $TapeJob
works
Is this a bug?
