function Get-DbaAgentJobCategory { <# .SYNOPSIS Get-DbaAgentJobCategory retrieves the job categories .DESCRIPTION Get-DbaAgentJobCategory makes is possible to retrieve the job categories. .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 Category The name of the category to filter out. If no category is used all catgories will be returned. .PARAMETER CategoryType The type of category. This can be "LocalJob", "MultiServerJob" or "None". If no category is used all catgories types will be returned. .PARAMETER Force The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults. .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 Category 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/Get-DbaAgentJobCategory .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJobCategory -SqlInstance sql1 Return all the job categories .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJobCategory -SqlInstance sql1 -Category 'Log Shipping' Return all the job categories that have the name 'Log Shipping' .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJobCategory -SqlInstance sstad-pc -CategoryType MultiServerJob Return all the job categories that have a type MultiServerJob #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string[]]$Category, [ValidateSet("LocalJob", "MultiServerJob", "None")] [string]$CategoryType, [switch]$Force, [switch][Alias('Silent')]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance." $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } # get all the job categories $jobCategories = $server.JobServer.JobCategories | Where-Object { ($_.Name -in $Category -or !$Category) -and ($_.CategoryType -in $CategoryType -or !$CategoryType) } # Set the default output $defaults = 'ComputerName', 'InstanceName', 'SqlInstance', 'Name', 'ID', 'CategoryType', 'JobCount' # Loop through each of the categories try { foreach ($cat in $jobCategories) { # Get the jobs associated with the category $jobCount = ($server.JobServer.Jobs | Where-Object {$_.CategoryID -eq $cat.ID}).Count # Add new properties to the category object Add-Member -Force -InputObject $cat -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ComputerName -value $server.NetName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $cat -MemberType NoteProperty -Name InstanceName -value $server.ServiceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $cat -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SqlInstance -value $server.DomainInstanceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $cat -MemberType NoteProperty -Name JobCount -Value $jobCount # Show the result Select-DefaultView -InputObject $cat -Property $defaults } } catch { Stop-Function -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Message "Failure.
