function Set-DbaAgentJobOutputFile { <# .Synopsis Set the output file for a step within an Agent job. .DESCRIPTION Sets the Output File for a step of an agent job with the Job Names and steps provided dynamically if required .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER SQLCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. 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 to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER Step The Agent Job Step to provide Output File Path for. Also available dynamically .PARAMETER OutputFile The Full Path to the New Output file .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, SqlAgent Author: Rob Sewell, https://sqldbawithabeard.com Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaAgentJobOutputFile -SqlInstance SERVERNAME -Job 'The Agent Job' -OutPutFile E:\Logs\AgentJobStepOutput.txt Sets the Job step for The Agent job on SERVERNAME to E:\Logs\AgentJobStepOutput.txt #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage = 'The SQL Server Instance', ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false, Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Parameter(HelpMessage = 'SQL Credential', ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false)] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Job, [Parameter(HelpMessage = 'The Job Step name', ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [object[]]$Step, [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage = 'The Full Output File Path', ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName, ValueFromRemainingArguments = $false)] [ValidateNotNull()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$OutputFile, [switch]$EnableException ) foreach ($instance in $sqlinstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } catch { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "Failed to connect to: $instance" continue } if (!$Job) { # This is because jobname isn't yet required Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "You must specify a job using the -Job parameter." return } foreach ($name in $Job) { $currentJob = $server.JobServer.Jobs[$name] if ($Step) { $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps | Where-Object Name -in $Step if (!$steps) { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "$Step didn't return any steps" return } } else { if (($currentJob.JobSteps).Count -gt 1) { Write-Message -Level Output -Message "Which Job Step do you wish to add output file to?" $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps | Out-GridView -Title "Choose the Job Steps to add an output file to" -PassThru -Verbose } else { $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps } } if (!$steps) { $steps = $currentJob.JobSteps } foreach ($jobstep in $steps) { $currentoutputfile = $jobstep.OutputFileName Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Current Output File for $currentJob is $currentoutputfile" Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Adding $OutputFile to $jobstep for $currentJob" try { if ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($jobstep, "Changing Output File from $currentoutputfile to $OutputFile")) { $jobstep.OutputFileName = $OutputFile $jobstep.Alter() $jobstep.Refresh() [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Job = $currentJob.Name JobStep = $jobstep.Name OutputFileName = $currentoutputfile } } } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failed to add $OutputFile to $jobstep for $currentJob" -InnerErrorRecord $_ -Target $currentJob } } } } } |
