function Start-DbaAgentJob { <# .SYNOPSIS Starts a running SQL Server Agent Job. .DESCRIPTION This command starts a job then returns connected SMO object for SQL Agent Job information for each instance(s) of SQL Server. .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. .PARAMETER SqlCredential SqlCredential object to connect as. If not specified, current Windows login will be used. .PARAMETER Job The job(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all jobs will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeJob The job(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER Wait Wait for output until the job has started .PARAMETER JobCollection Internal parameter that enables piping .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .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 Tags: Job, Agent Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Start-DbaAgentJob .EXAMPLE Start-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance localhost Starts all running SQL Agent Jobs on the local SQL Server instance .EXAMPLE Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2016 -Job cdc.DBWithCDC_capture | Start-DbaAgentJob Starts the cdc.DBWithCDC_capture SQL Agent Job on sql2016 .EXAMPLE Start-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sql2016 -Job cdc.DBWithCDC_capture Starts the cdc.DBWithCDC_capture SQL Agent Job on sql2016 .EXAMPLE $servers | Find-DbaAgentJob -IsFailed | Start-DbaAgentJob Restarts all failed jobs on all servers in the $servers collection #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ParameterSetName = "Instance")] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [string[]]$Job, [string[]]$ExcludeJob, [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline, ParameterSetName = "Object")] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.Job[]]$JobCollection, [switch]$Wait, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { Write-Verbose "Attempting to connect to $instance" try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $jobcollection += $server.JobServer.Jobs if ($Job) { $jobcollection = $jobcollection | Where-Object Name -In $Job } if ($ExcludeJob) { $jobcollection = $jobcollection | Where-Object Name -NotIn $ExcludeJob } } foreach ($currentjob in $JobCollection) { $server = $currentjob.Parent.Parent $status = $currentjob.CurrentRunStatus if ($status -ne 'Idle') { Stop-Function -Message "$currentjob on $server is not idle ($status)" -Target $currentjob -Continue } If ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($server, "Starting job $currentjob")) { $null = $currentjob.Start() Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 300 $currentjob.Refresh() while ($currentjob.CurrentRunStatus -eq 'Idle' -and $i++ -lt 60) { Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 $currentjob.Refresh() } if ($wait) { while ($currentjob.CurrentRunStatus -ne 'Idle') { Write-Message -Level Output -Message "$currentjob is $($currentjob.CurrentRunStatus)" Start-Sleep -Seconds 3 $currentjob.Refresh() } $currentjob } else { $currentjob } } } } } |
