#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function Remove-DbaAgentJobStep { <# .SYNOPSIS Remove-DbaAgentJobStep removes a job step. .DESCRIPTION Remove-DbaAgentJobStep removes a job step in the SQL Server Agent. .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER Job The name of the job. Can be null if the the job id is being used. .PARAMETER StepName The name of the step. .PARAMETER KeepHistory Specifies to keep the history for the job. By default is history is deleted. .PARAMETER KeepUnusedSchedule Specifies to keep the schedules attached to this job if they are not attached to any other job. By default the unused schedule is deleted. .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 EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Author: Sander Stad (@sqlstad, sqlstad.nl) Tags: Agent, Job, Job Step Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .LINK https://dbatools.io/Remove-DbaAgentJobStep .EXAMPLE Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from the job .EXAMPLE Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1, Job2, Job3 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from the job for multiple jobs .EXAMPLE Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1, sql2, sql3 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from the job on multiple servers .EXAMPLE sql1, sql2, sql3 | Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from the job on multiple servers using pipeline #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = "Low")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [object[]]$Job, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$StepName, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [switch][Alias('Silent')]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $sqlinstance) { # Try connecting to the instance Write-Message -Message "Attempting to connect to $instance" -Level Verbose try { $Server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } foreach ($j in $Job) { # Check if the job exists if ($Server.JobServer.Jobs.Name -notcontains $j) { Write-Message -Message "Job $j doesn't exists on $instance" -Level Warning } else { # Check if the job step exists if ($Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j].JobSteps.Name -notcontains $StepName) { Write-Message -Message "Step $StepName doesn't exist for $job on $instance" -Level Warning } else { # Get the job step try { $JobStep = $Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j].JobSteps[$StepName] } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Something went wrong creating the job step. `n$($_.Exception.Message)" -Target $JobStep -Continue -InnerErrorRecord $_ } # Execute if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess($instance, "Removing the job step $StepName for job $j")) { try { Write-Message -Message "Removing the job step $StepName for job $j" -Level Output $JobStep.Drop() } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Something went wrong removing the job step. `n$($_.Exception.Message)" -Target $JobStep -Continue -InnerErrorRecord $_ } } } } } # foreach object job } # foreach object instance } # process end { Write-Message -Message "Finished removing the jobs step(s)" -Level Verbose } } |
