function Set-DbaAgentJobOutputFile { <# .Synopsis Set the output file for a step within an Agent job. .DESCRIPTION Sets the Output File for a step of an agent job with the Job Names and steps provided dynamically if required .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server that you're connecting to. .PARAMETER SQLCredential Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user be it Windows or SQL Server. Windows users are determiend by the existence of a backslash, so if you are intending to use an alternative Windows connection instead of a SQL login, ensure it contains a backslash. .PARAMETER Job The job to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER Step The Agent Job Step to provide Output File Path for. Also available dynamically .PARAMETER OutputFile The Full Path to the New Output file .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command. .PARAMETER Silent Replaces user friendly yellow warnings with bloody red exceptions of doom! .NOTES Original Author - Rob Sewell (https://sqldbawithabeard.com) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 # todo - allow piping and add -All .EXAMPLE Set-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME -JobName 'The Agent Job' -OutPutFile E:\Logs\AgentJobStepOutput.txt Sets the Job step for The Agent job on SERVERNAME to E:\Logs\AgentJobStepOutput.txt #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = 'The SQL Server Instance', ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false, Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'SQL Credential', ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false)] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Job, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'The Job Step name', ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [object[]]$Step, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = 'The Full Output File Path', ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$OutputFile, [switch]$Silent ) foreach ($instance in $sqlinstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } catch { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "Failed to connect to: $instance" continue } if (!$Job) { # This is because jobname isn't yet required Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "You must specify a job using the -Job parameter." return } foreach ($name in $Job) { $currentJob = $server.JobServer.Jobs[$name] if ($Step) { $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps | Where-Object Name -in $Step if (!$steps) { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "$Step didn't return any steps" return } } else { if (($currentJob.JobSteps).Count -gt 1) { Write-Message -Level Output -Message "Which Job Step do you wish to add output file to?" $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps | Out-GridView -Title "Choose the Job Steps to add an output file to" -PassThru -Verbose } else { $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps } } if (!$steps) { $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps } foreach ($jobstep in $steps) { $currentoutputfile = $jobstep.OutputFileName Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Current Output File for $currentJob is $currentoutputfile" Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Adding $OutputFile to $jobstep for $currentJob" try { if ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($jobstep, "Changing Output File from $currentoutputfile to $OutputFile")) { $jobstep.OutputFileName = $OutputFile $jobstep.Alter() $jobstep.Refresh() [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.NetName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Job = $currentJob.Name JobStep = $jobstep.Name OutputFileName = $currentoutputfile } } } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failed to add $OutputFile to $jobstep for $currentJob" -InnerErrorRecord $_ -Target $currentJob } } } } } |
