Bulk job modification

alex.nunley · Post by **alex.nunley** » Jan 28, 2013 7:46 pm this post

I am trying to modify a bunch of settings, mostly related to scheduling, on all jobs in BR 6.5. I have the following code, scraped together. It fails, saying the setting either doesnt exist or is not settable. I am not sure what to do, and am tearing my hair out. Ideas? Better methodologies?

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapin -Name VeeamPSSnapIn -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

foreach($job in (Get-VBRJob | Sort Name)){

}

$JobName = Get-VBRJob  | where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}
$EnableJobAdd = "True" #True/False
$RetrySpecifiedAdd = "True" #True/False
$RetryTimesAdd = "3"
$RetryTimeoutAdd = "15"
$schedulemode = "Daily" #Daily/Monthly/Periodically/Continuous
$OptionsDailyAddKind = "Everyday" #Everyday/SelectedDays/WeekDays
$OptionsDailyAddDays = "Monday" , "Tuesday" , "Wednesday" , "Thursday" , "Friday"
#create a random time#
$Hours = (16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,'00','01','02','03','04') | Get-Random | Out-String
		$Minutes = "{0:D2}" -f (Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum 59) | Out-String
		$Time = ($Hours+':'+$Minutes+':00').replace("`n","")
$OptionsDailyAddTime = $Time #Attention: If you set a new time. The "Next run" column in the jobview will be updated after the next job run.

$JobnameObject = Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}
$JobnameObjectSchedule = $JobnameObject | Get-VBRjobscheduleoptions
If ($RetrySpecifiedAdd -eq "True"){
$JobnameObjectSchedule.RetrySpecified = $true
} ELSE {
$JobnameObjectSchedule.RetrySpecified = $false
}
$JobnameObjectSchedule.RetryTimes = $RetryTimesAdd  
$JobnameObjectSchedule.RetryTimeout = $RetryTimeoutAdd
If ($schedulemode -eq "Daily"){
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $true
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsMonthly.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsContinuous.Enabled = $false
} ELSE {
If ($schedulemode -eq "Monthly"){
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsMonthly.Enabled = $true
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsContinuous.Enabled = $false
} ELSE {
If ($schedulemode -eq "Periodically"){
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsMonthly.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $true
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsContinuous.Enabled = $false
} ELSE {
If ($schedulemode -eq "Continuous"){
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsMonthly.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $false
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsContinuous.Enabled = $true
} ELSE {
write-host "Error: Schedulemode entry not correct"
}}}}

$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Kind = $OptionsDailyAddKind
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Days = $OptionsDailyAddDays
$JobnameObjectSchedule.OptionsDaily.Time = $OptionsDailyAddTime
$JobnameObjectSchedule.NextRun = $OptionsDailyAddTime
$JobnameObjectSchedule.StartDateTime = $OptionsDailyAddTime

Set-VBRJobScheduleOptions -Job $JobnameObject -Options $JobnameObjectSchedule


$JobnameObject = Get-VBRJob | Where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}

If ($EnableJobAdd -eq "True"){
$JobnameObject.options.JobOptions.RunManually = $false
$JobnameObject.EnableScheduler()
} ELSE {
$JobnameObject.options.JobOptions.RunManually = $true
$JobnameObject.DisableScheduler()
}

And here is the error i'm seeting

And to be clear, the settings are available, and settable, as they currently have content, such as .RetrySpecified.

Jan 28, 2013 8:58 pm

Though I don’t have a console right in the moment, I’d definitely start investigating with the following line, as It doesn’t make any sense at all. :

Code: Select all

$JobName = Get-VBRJob  | where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}

According to your code, $Jobname variable hasn’t been specified up to that moment, and you’re literally trying to find a job which name coincides with an unspecified variable; there is no doubt that after this step $Jobname will have nothing as its content, or, most likely, something like zero value.

As a result you see errors regarding corresponding methods that cannot be found on this object (0/unspecified variable).

You can check it by simply putting $Jobname after the abovementioned line, and see what kind of value it has:

Code: Select all

$JobName = Get-VBRJob  | where {$_.Name -eq $JobName}
$JobName

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I agree, your $JobName just needs to be the name of the job, you already have $JobnameObject.

So Change to something like :

Code: Select all

$JobName = "MyJob"

the rest should work because $JobNameObject is referenced from $JobName

Thanks! that was definitely the bulk of it. ..

now i have to find some missing terminator...

Sethbartlett · Jan 29, 2013 5:02 pm

All I did was pretty up your code and fix your if/else stuff, it should have been using elseif instead. This will fix your broken terminator issue. Also your initial "Foreach" loop doesn't do anything.
