#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function New-DbaAgentJobStep { <# .SYNOPSIS New-DbaAgentJobStep creates a new job step for a job .DESCRIPTION New-DbaAgentJobStep creates a new job in the SQL Server Agent for a specific job .PARAMETER SqlInstance SQL Server instance. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Job The name of the job to which to add the step. .PARAMETER StepId The sequence identification number for the job step. Step identification numbers start at 1 and increment without gaps. .PARAMETER StepName The name of the step. .PARAMETER SubSystem The subsystem used by the SQL Server Agent service to execute command. Allowed values 'ActiveScripting','AnalysisCommand','AnalysisQuery','CmdExec','Distribution','LogReader','Merge','PowerShell','QueueReader','Snapshot','Ssis','TransactSql' The default is 'TransactSql' .PARAMETER Command The commands to be executed by SQLServerAgent service through subsystem. .PARAMETER CmdExecSuccessCode The value returned by a CmdExec subsystem command to indicate that command executed successfully. .PARAMETER OnSuccessAction The action to perform if the step succeeds. Allowed values "QuitWithSuccess" (default), "QuitWithFailure", "GoToNextStep", "GoToStep". The text value van either be lowercase, uppercase or something in between as long as the text is correct. .PARAMETER OnSuccessStepId The ID of the step in this job to execute if the step succeeds and OnSuccessAction is "GoToStep". .PARAMETER OnFailAction The action to perform if the step fails. Allowed values "QuitWithSuccess" (default), "QuitWithFailure", "GoToNextStep", "GoToStep". The text value van either be lowercase, uppercase or something in between as long as the text is correct. .PARAMETER OnFailStepId The ID of the step in this job to execute if the step fails and OnFailAction is "GoToNextStep". .PARAMETER Database The name of the database in which to execute a Transact-SQL step. The default is 'master'. .PARAMETER DatabaseUser The name of the user account to use when executing a Transact-SQL step. .PARAMETER RetryAttempts The number of retry attempts to use if this step fails. The default is 0. .PARAMETER RetryInterval The amount of time in minutes between retry attempts. The default is 0. .PARAMETER OutputFileName The name of the file in which the output of this step is saved. .PARAMETER Flag Sets the flag(s) for the job step. Flag Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AppendAllCmdExecOutputToJobHistory Job history, including command output, is appended to the job history file. AppendToJobHistory Job history is appended to the job history file. AppendToLogFile Job history is appended to the SQL Server log file. AppendToTableLog Job history is appended to a log table. LogToTableWithOverwrite Job history is written to a log table, overwriting previous contents. None Job history is not appended to a file. ProvideStopProcessEvent Job processing is stopped. .PARAMETER ProxyName The name of the proxy that the job step runs as. .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 Force The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults. .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, JobStep Author: Sander Stad (@sqlstad, sqlstad.nl) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/New-DbaAgentJobStep .EXAMPLE New-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Create a step in "Job1" with the name Step1 with the default subsystem TransactSql. .EXAMPLE New-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 -Database msdb Create a step in "Job1" with the name Step1 where the database will the msdb .EXAMPLE New-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1, sql2, sql3 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 -Database msdb Create a step in "Job1" with the name Step1 where the database will the "msdb" for multiple servers .EXAMPLE New-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1, sql2, sql3 -Job Job1, Job2, 'Job Three' -StepName Step1 -Database msdb Create a step in "Job1" with the name Step1 where the database will the "msdb" for multiple servers for multiple jobs .EXAMPLE sql1, sql2, sql3 | New-DbaAgentJobStep -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 -Database msdb Create a step in "Job1" with the name Step1 where the database will the "msdb" for multiple servers using pipeline #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = "Low")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [object[]]$Job, [int]$StepId, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$StepName, [ValidateSet('ActiveScripting', 'AnalysisCommand', 'AnalysisQuery', 'CmdExec', 'Distribution', 'LogReader', 'Merge', 'PowerShell', 'QueueReader', 'Snapshot', 'Ssis', 'TransactSql')] [string]$Subsystem = 'TransactSql', [string]$Command, [int]$CmdExecSuccessCode, [ValidateSet('QuitWithSuccess', 'QuitWithFailure', 'GoToNextStep', 'GoToStep')] [string]$OnSuccessAction = 'QuitWithSuccess', [int]$OnSuccessStepId = 0, [ValidateSet('QuitWithSuccess', 'QuitWithFailure', 'GoToNextStep', 'GoToStep')] [string]$OnFailAction = 'QuitWithFailure', [int]$OnFailStepId, [object]$Database, [string]$DatabaseUser, [int]$RetryAttempts, [int]$RetryInterval, [string]$OutputFileName, [ValidateSet('AppendAllCmdExecOutputToJobHistory', 'AppendToJobHistory', 'AppendToLogFile', 'LogToTableWithOverwrite', 'None', 'ProvideStopProcessEvent')] [string[]]$Flag, [string]$ProxyName, [switch]$Force, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { # Check the parameter on success step id if (($OnSuccessAction -in 'GoToStep', 'GoToNextStep') -and ($OnSuccessStepId -ge 1)) { Stop-Function -Message "Parameter OnSuccessStepId can only be used with OnSuccessAction 'GoToStep'." -Target $SqlInstance return } # Check the parameter on success step id if (($OnFailAction -in 'GoToStep', 'GoToNextStep') -and ($OnFailStepId -ge 1)) { Stop-Function -Message "Parameter OnFailStepId can only be used with OnFailAction 'GoToStep'." -Target $SqlInstance return } } process { if (Test-FunctionInterrupt) { return } foreach ($instance in $sqlinstance) { # Try connecting to the instance 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 $instance -Continue } foreach ($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 { # Create the job step object try { # Get the job $currentjob = $Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j] # Create the job step $JobStep = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.JobStep # Set the job where the job steps belongs to $JobStep.Parent = $currentjob } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Something went wrong creating the job step" -Target $instance -ErrorRecord $_ -Continue } #region job step options # Setting the options for the job step if ($StepName) { # Check if the step already exists if ($Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j].JobSteps.Name -notcontains $StepName) { $JobStep.Name = $StepName } elseif (($Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j].JobSteps.Name -contains $StepName) -and $Force) { Write-Message -Message "Step $StepName already exists for job.
