function Set-DbaAgentJobCategory { <# .SYNOPSIS Set-DbaAgentJobCategory changes a job category. .DESCRIPTION Set-DbaAgentJobCategory makes it possible to change a job category. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. 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 Category The name of the category .PARAMETER NewName New name of the job category .PARAMETER Force The force parameter will ignore some errors in the parameters and assume defaults. .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 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, JobCategory 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/Set-DbaAgentJobCategory .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaAgentJobCategory -SqlInstance sql1 -Category 'Category 1' -NewName 'Category 2' Change the name of the category from 'Category 1' to 'Category 2'. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaAgentJobCategory -SqlInstance sql1, sql2 -Category Category1, Category2 -NewName cat1, cat2 Rename multiple jobs in one go on multiple servers. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, ConfirmImpact = "Low")] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly", "", Justification = "PSSA Rule Ignored by BOH")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string[]]$Category, [string[]]$NewName, [switch]$Force, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { # Create array list to hold the results $collection = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList # Check if multiple categories are being changed if ($Category.Count -gt 1 -and $NewName.Count -eq 1) { Stop-Function -Message "You cannot rename multiple jobs to the same name" -Target $instance } } process { foreach ($instance in $sqlinstance) { # Try connecting to the instance try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } # Loop through each of the categories foreach ($cat in $Category) { # Check if the category exists if ($cat -notin $server.JobServer.JobCategories.Name) { Stop-Function -Message "Job category $cat doesn't exist on $instance" -Target $instance -Continue } # Check if the category already exists if ($NewName -and ($NewName -in $server.JobServer.JobCategories.Name)) { Stop-Function -Message "Job category $NewName already exists on $instance" -Target $instance -Continue } if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess($instance, "Changing the job category $Category")) { try { # Get the job category object $currentCategory = $server.JobServer.JobCategories[$cat] Write-Message -Message "Changing job category $cat" -Level Verbose # Get and set the original and new values $originalCategoryName = $currentCategory.Name $newCategoryName = $null # Check if the job category needs to be renamed if ($NewName) { $currentCategory.Rename($NewName[$Category.IndexOf($cat)]) $newCategoryName = $currentCategory.Name } Get-DbaAgentJobCategory -SqlInstance $server -Category $newCategoryName } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Something went wrong changing the job category $cat on $instance" -Target $cat -Continue -ErrorRecord $_ } } } } } end { Write-Message -Message "Finished changing job category." -Level Verbose } } |
