#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,CodeStyle# function Get-DbaJobCategory { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets SQL Agent Job Category information for each instance(s) of SQL Server. .DESCRIPTION The Get-DbaJobCategory returns connected SMO object for SQL Agent Job Category information for each instance(s) of SQL Server. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server instance to connect to. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .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: Agent, Job, Category Author: Garry Bargsley (@gbargsley), http://blog.garrybargsley.com dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2016 Chrissy LeMaire License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaJobCategory .EXAMPLE Get-DbaJobCategory -SqlInstance localhost Returns all SQL Agent Job Categories on the local default SQL Server instance .EXAMPLE Get-DbaJobCategory -SqlInstance localhost, sql2016 Returns all SQL Agent Job Categories for the local and sql2016 SQL Server instances #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $True)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance" try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } foreach ($jobCategory in $server.JobServer.JobCategories) { Add-Member -Force -InputObject $jobCategory -MemberType NoteProperty -Name ComputerName -value $jobCategory.Parent.Parent.ComputerName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $jobCategory -MemberType NoteProperty -Name InstanceName -value $jobCategory.Parent.Parent.ServiceName Add-Member -Force -InputObject $jobCategory -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SqlInstance -value $jobCategory.Parent.Parent.DomainInstanceName Select-DefaultView -InputObject $jobCategory -Property ComputerName, InstanceName, SqlInstance, ID, Name, CategoryType } } } } |
