Post job script question

[nate_c16]

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me out.

So I have a job that runs a post job script that disables a backup job connects to another backup server and starts a replication. And even though the VM finishes backing up successfully, the action for the post job script says 'running.' And it goes until it times out.

Oddly enough the script will successfully finish when the replication on the remote server completes. Is there any reason as to why that's happening? I assumed that once the script is done running it's done running. Like it doesn't have to wait for the other job to finish.

This is what I have

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin veeampssnapin

Disable-VBRJob -Job 'BackupJob' | Out-Null
Disconnect-VBRServer
Connect-VBRServer -Server Remote-Server
Start-VBRJob -Job 'ReplicationJob' | Out-Null
Disconnect-VBRServer

Try to use -RunAsync switch with Start-VBRJob cmdlet, so that the script does not wait till replication job finishes. Thanks.

Code: Select all

Start-VBRJob -Job 'ReplicationJob' -RunAsync

That worked liked a charm! Thanks a bunch for the help!

By default most of VB&R cmdlets return an output only after completion of the requested tasks.

If you want a cmdlet to return to the command line immediately, without waiting for the tasks to complete, you can specify the RunAsync parameter.

Good to know that everything is up and running now.

Thanks.
