How to mass enable retry on failure across all jobs?

[pouya]

Hi powershell friends,

We currently have an environment where everything was scripted when deployed. Unfortunately we didnt set the retry count in the script so I am going about trying to set it now in a separate powershell command-

I tried setting it like this however it seems that EnableRetry is only a valid variable for agent jobs and not backups for our ADLS objects. Wondering if anyone can help out with this?

> foreach ($job in $alljobs) {
>> $job.ScheduleOptions.RetryTimes = "3"
>> $job.ScheduleOptions.EnableRetry = "true"
>> $job.update()}

Hi Phillip,

What job types?

For VMware/HyperV jobs, you want ScheduleOptions.RetrySpecified to control whether retries are enabled, and looks like we don't have a supported means of doing this so your script method will work with the RetrySpecified property.

For Agent server jobs, Set-VBRServerScheduleOptions has a switch for -EnableRetry, so please use that (set the parameter to enable, set with -EnableRetry:$false to disable)
