function Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile { <# .Synopsis Returns the Output File for each step of one or many agent job with the Job Names provided dynamically if required for one or more SQL Instances .DESCRIPTION This function returns for one or more SQL Instances the output file value for each step of one or many agent job with the Job Names provided dynamically. It will not return anything if there is no Output File .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .PARAMETER SQLCredential Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user be it Windows or SQL Server. Windows users are determined 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(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 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 Author: Rob Sewell (https://sqldbawithabeard.com) Editor: niphlod Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME -Job 'The Agent Job' This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of the The Agent Job Job on the SERVERNAME instance .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of all the Agent Jobs on the SERVERNAME instance .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME,SERVERNAME2 -Job 'The Agent Job' This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of the The Agent Job Job on the SERVERNAME instance and SERVERNAME2 .EXAMPLE $Servers = 'SERVER','SERVER\INSTANCE1' Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance $Servers -Job 'The Agent Job' -OpenFile This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of the The Agent Job Job on the SERVER instance and the SERVER\INSTANCE1 and open the files if they are available .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME | Out-GridView This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of all the Agent Jobs on the SERVERNAME instance and Pipe them to Out-GridView .EXAMPLE PS C:\> (Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME | Out-GridView -PassThru).FileName | Invoke-Item This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of all the Agent Jobs on the SERVERNAME instance and Pipe them to Out-GridView and enable you to choose the output file and open it .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME -Verbose This will return the configured paths to the output files for each of the job step of all the Agent Jobs on the SERVERNAME instance and also show the job steps without an output file #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage = 'The SQL Server Instance', ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false, Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'SQL Credential', ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false, Position = 1)] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Job, [object[]]$ExcludeJob, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $sqlinstance) { Write-Message -Message "Connecting to $instance" -Level Verbose try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $jobs = $Server.JobServer.Jobs if ($Job) { $jobs = $jobs | Where-Object Name -In $Job } if ($ExcludeJob) { $jobs = $jobs | Where-Object Name -NotIn $ExcludeJob } foreach ($j in $Jobs) { foreach ($Step in $j.JobSteps) { if ($Step.OutputFileName) { [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Job = $j.Name JobStep = $Step.Name OutputFileName = $Step.OutputFileName RemoteOutputFileName = Join-AdminUNC $Server.ComputerName $Step.OutputFileName StepId = $Step.Id } | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty StepId } else { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "$step for $j has no output file" } } } } } } |
