#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function Remove-DbaAgentJobStep { <# .SYNOPSIS Removes a step from the specified SQL Agent job. .DESCRIPTION Removes a job step from a SQL Server Agent job. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances. .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. .PARAMETER StepName The name of the job step. .PARAMETER Mode Default: Strict How strict does the command take lesser issues? Strict: Interrupt if the configuration already has the same value as the one specified. Lazy: Silently skip over instances that already have this configuration at the specified value. .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: 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/Remove-DbaAgentJobStep .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Remove 'Step1' from job 'Job1' on sql1. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1 -Job Job1, Job2, Job3 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from multiple jobs. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -SqlInstance sql1, sql2, sql3 -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from the job on multiple servers. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> sql1, sql2, sql3 | Remove-DbaAgentJobStep -Job Job1 -StepName Step1 Remove the job step from the job on multiple servers using pipeline. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, ConfirmImpact = "Low")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [object[]]$Job, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$StepName, [DbaMode]$Mode = (Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -Name 'message.mode.default' -Fallback "Strict"), [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occured while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } foreach ($j in $Job) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Processing job $j" # Check if the job exists if ($Server.JobServer.Jobs.Name -notcontains $j) { switch ($Mode) { 'Lazy' { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Job $j doesn't exists on $instance." -Target $instance } 'Strict' { Stop-Function -Message "Job $j doesnn't exist on $instance." -Continue -ContinueLabel main -Target $instance -Category InvalidData } } } else { # Check if the job step exists if ($Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j].JobSteps.Name -notcontains $StepName) { switch ($Mode) { 'Lazy' { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Step $StepName doesn't exist for $job on $instance." -Target $instance } 'Strict' { Stop-Function -Message "Step $StepName doesn't exist for $job on $instance." -Continue -ContinueLabel main -Target $instance -Category InvalidData } } } else { # Execute if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess($instance, "Removing the job step $StepName for job $j")) { try { $JobStep = $Server.JobServer.Jobs[$j].JobSteps[$StepName] Write-Message -Level SomewhatVerbose -Message "Removing the job step $StepName for job $j." $JobStep.Drop() } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Something went wrong removing the job step" -Target $JobStep -Continue -ErrorRecord $_ Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Could not remove the job step $StepName from $j" } } } } } } } end { Write-Message -Message "Finished removing the jobs step(s)" -Level Verbose } } |
