SetScheduleDependentJobs VEEAM 7.0

[ArnaudK]

Hi!

I Just have little problem for scripting jobs:

$Job1 = Get-VBRJob -name $JobName
$Job2 = Get-VBRJob -name $SecondJobName
$Job2.SetScheduleDependentJobs($Job1)

Result : Job1 After Job1!

And $Job1.SetScheduleDependentJobs($Job2)

Result : Job2 After Job2!

Any help please?

Hi, Arnaud. Seems like a GUI glitch or something; since if after running the said script you go to the schedule settings of a given job (Job2), the correct information will be shown (Job2 after Job1). Thanks.

[ArnaudK]

Thank you for the answer, but I dont think so:

[ArnaudK]

Mmh, it's worst that i was thinking, my backup was launched at 22:00 !!!

Edit TEST Job:



He display the first Job in my list and ask me to choose one if i want to click OK.

It seems to be a bug, indeed. Though, the following script appears to work, as expected:

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Job1 = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of first job"
$Job2 = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of second job"
$Job2.SetScheduleDependentJobs($Job1)
Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $Job1 -AfterJob $Job2 

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Thanks.

In this example is $Job2 supposed to run after $Job1 ?
I can't seem to get this right...

I do this:

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name $vmjobname
$tapejob = Get-VBRTapeJob -Name $tapejobname
# And set the schedule
$job.SetScheduleDependentJobs($tapejob)
Get-VBRTapeJob -Name $tapejobname |Set-VBRJobSchedule -After -AfterJob $job
Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $tapejob -After -AfterJob $job

and I end up with this:

Note that the "Next run" seems to be correct but it doesn't work and when you bring up the job it says Daily at 22:00
The use of two Set-VBRJobSchedule is just a try from my side that maybe setting it a second time would fix it....

Actually, in the example provided above job1 should be run after job2. Though, the said script doesn’t seem to work in case of backup to tape jobs, only in case of normal backup ones. Thanks.

Ok. And just to be clear, it is a bug that you cant set the schedule of a tape-job with Set-VBRJobSchedule or should you use some other method?

It appears to be a bug, indeed. As well as, the situation when you have to use two different methods (SetScheduleDependentJobs, Set-VBRJobSchedule) in order to set job schedule dependency. So, I will pass this information to development team later. Thanks.

[Tobias_Elfstrom]

Any of these fixed in patch01?
http://www.veeam.com/kb_articles.html/kb1823 says nothing about this.

[veremin]

Nope, the issue with backup to tape job and .ScheduleDependentJob() hasn’t been resolved in the Patch#1. Thanks.

Though, in case of chaining common backup jobs, you don’t have to use two different commandlets, as has been suggested previously, since everything can be specified via Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPssnapin
$Job = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of first backup job"
$Job2 = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of second backup job”
$ScheduleOptions = $Job.GetScheduleOptions()
$ScheduleOptions.OptionsScheduleAfterJob.IsEnabled = $True
$Job.options.JobOptions.RunManually = $False
Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions -Job $Job -Options $ScheduleOptions
Set-VBRJobSchedule -Job $Job -AfterJob $Job2

Thanks.
