Get time in hours from schedule

[ldasilva]

Hi,

How can i retrieve only the time of the schedule and not the complete date and time?

Example

$jobOptions | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Time" -value $job.ScheduleOptions.get_NextRun()

This returns the date and time.

and when i try this one

$jobOptions | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Time" -value $Job.ScheduleOptions.OptionsDaily.kind

nothing happens

Please help

Try this script and see whether it answers your requirements:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$BackupJob = Get-VBRJob -Name "Name of your Job"
$Date = Get-Date $BackupJob.ScheduleOptions.NextRun
$Date.ToShortTimeString()

Thanks.

Hi Eremin,

Thank you for your reply.

When i added this to my script, it does populate the time, however i do get an error msg

Code: Select all

"Get-Date : Cannot bind parameter 'Date'. Cannot convert value "" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "String was not reco
gnized as a valid DateTime."
At C:\tmp\collection.ps1:20 char:33
+                 $time = get-date <<<<  $job.ScheduleOptions.get_NextRun()
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-Date], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetDateCommand"

This is what i added in my script

Code: Select all

$time = get-date $job.ScheduleOptions.get_NextRun()

$jobOptions | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Time" -value $time.ToShortTimeString()

kind regards,

Lisandro

There is no such method as get_NextRun(). So, the result of $job.ScheduleOptions.get_NextRun() line is $Null which cannot be converted to DateTime format. Kindly, leverage the code I suggested. Thanks.

This lines of code display the output wanted.

Code: Select all

$time = get-date $BackupJob.ScheduleOptions.OptionsDaily.TimeLocal 
$time.ToShortTimeString()

The problem I can see with the last example is the fact that it works only for jobs with daily type of schedule, and it doesn't take backup window settings into account. So, keep this in mind, if you stick to this script. Thanks.
