Creating a job

Using cmdlets to create a new job requires planning as there is a lot information contained in a job definition. You would use cmdlets to automate a process, such as cloning a current job or creating a new job in an environment with limited resources.

Syntax

New-ERJobDefinition [-Name] <String> [-JobType] <String> [-Configuration] <String> [[-ClusterId] <Guid>] [[-CredentialId] <Guid>] [[-Description] <String>] [[-Schedule] <String>] [[-NextRun] <Nullable`1[DateTime]>] [-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]]

•

[-JobType] values are: ActiveDirectory, Computer, Exchange, MS SQL, NTFS, and Registry.

•

[-Configuration] is the XML representation of the job or discovery configuration. See any of the job examples in the Getting job information section, which discussed the Get-ERJobDefinition cmdlet. This is the best way to get a configuration to use in creating a job manually.

The configuration can be contained in an XML file, making it easier to navigate. Using Notepad, copy the configuration from an existing job and paste it into a file. It is recommended that you create default files with the extension .XML and have the format as seen below which makes it easier to go thru and make the setting you want to make.

Do not use any special program that provides an XML format. Any additional data in the file will not be interpreted correctly and can cause errors with the job creation. Use Notepad to avoid unseen character formatting.

Example 1

As you can see in this example, each section of the XML file has an opening and a closing statement. When you are working with a copy of the configuration from the Get-ERJobDefinition cmdlet, pay attention to spaces, text, slashes, and other characters, as missing or extra characters will cause an issue with the job.

<Ldap>LDAP://AMER.amer.sitraka.com/DC=AMER,DC=amer,DC=sitraka,DC=com</Ldap>

<Dns>\\AMERGEN02.AMER.amer.sitraka.com</Dns>

</DiscoveryResolutionTask>

Example 2

In this example, the contents of the XML configuration file is used with the New-ERJobDefinition cmdlet. The values for the -Configuration parameter are enclosed in a single quote mark (').

The parameters in this example are formatted to make it easier for you to read. When running the cmdlet, the parameters cannot contain any carriage returns in the command line. If you want to use this example, you must first paste it into NotePad and remove the carriage returns.

New-ERJobDefinition -Name "NTFS All" -JobType NTFS -Configuration '<DiscoveryResolutionTask subType="NTFS"><Scopes><Scope type="NTFS"><Content><Root class="Domain" inex="Include"><Ldap>LDAP://AMER.amer.sitraka.com/DC=AMER,DC=amer,DC=sitraka,DC=com</Ldap><Dns>AMER.amer.sitraka.com</Dns></Root></Content></Scope></Scopes><Parameters>

-ClusterId af0e6da4-10b9-4b20-bf5a-f19f0d71b589 -Schedule '<Trigger Type="RunDailyTrigger"

StartDateTime="2014-07-17T04:00:00Z" Expression="2014-07-1704:00:00Z@0 0 4 1/2 * ?" EveryNDay="2" />'

Example 3

In this example the configuration is in an XML file, which allows changes to be made to the configuration when using the cmdlets. The XML files are just simple files that can be edited using Notepad and do not require any special formatting. The configuration of any current job is in the XML format and can be used as a template.

$filepath = "c:\configuration.xml"

$configuration =[string]::join([environment]::newline, (get-content -path $filepath))

$foundCluster = Get-ERCluster 'First Cluster'

New-ERJobDefinition -Name NTFS10 -JobType NTFS -Configuration $configuration –ClusterId $foundCluster.ClusterId

Example 4

In this example, you want to clone a current job. The important item to note is that the -Name parameter needs to be changed to a unique value. The first cmdlet Get-ERJobDefinition gets the data on the job you wish to clone. In the New-ERJobDefinition cmdlet you use the data in the configuration of the cloned job by using $JobDefinition.Configuration to supply the needed configuration for the new job.

$JobDefinition = Get-ERJobDefinition "NTFS All"

$foundCluster = Get-ERCluster 'First Cluster'

New-ERJobDefinition -Name NTFS2 -JobType NTFS -Configuration $JobDefinition.Configuration -ClusterId $foundCluster.ClusterId

Running a job

Now that you have a job or two you need to run them to retrieve data from your environment by sending a job to the Enterprise Reporter server for immediate execution. Depending on what is processing within the server, the job may be queued to run at the next available time. This is different than scheduling a job which is discussed later.

Syntax

Submit-ERJobDefinition [-JobDefinitionId] <Guid>

Submit-ERJobDefinition [-JobDefinition] <JobDefinition>

Example 1

In this example, the job or discovery identified by the JobDefinitionId ecaae8bb-f0f8-48ee-91ff-da959a937dfa is submitted for immediate processing. If the job starts, True is returned.

Submit-ERJobDefinition -JobDefinitionId ecaae8bb-f0f8-48ee-91ff-da959a937dfa

Example 2

In this example, the information about the job definition retrieved by the Get-ERJobDefinition cmdlet is piped to the Submit-ERJobDefinition cmdlet, so the job starts immediately. If the job starts, True is returned.

Get-ERJobDefinition "Active Directory" | Submit-ERJobDefinition

Scheduling a job

You may want to change the start time for a scheduled job because it conflicts with another job.


	NOTE: The schedule must be in CRON format. The time are UTC or GMT (time zone Z (zulu)).

Syntax

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule [-JobDefinitionId] <Guid> [[-Schedule] <String>]

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule [-JobDefinition] <JobDefinition> [[-Schedule] <String>]

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule [-JobDefinitionName] <String> [[-Schedule] <String>]

Example 1

This is an example of a Run Once job set to start at a specific date and time. First, the job is placed into the $discovery variable using the Get-ERJobDefinition cmdlet. Second, the Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule cmdlet is executed with a different time and date for the job. Note the single quote that encloses the time.

$discovery = get-ERJobDefinition "Active Directory"

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule $discovery.JobDefinitionId '<Trigger Type="RunOnceTrigger" StartDateTime="2014-07-15T16:50:00Z" Expression="2014-07-15 16:50:00Z@0 50 16 15 7 ? 2014" />'

Example 2

This is an example of a Run Daily job set to start at a specific date and time, and to run every day.

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule -Schedule '<Trigger Type="RunDailyTrigger" StartDateTime="2014-05-27T14:40:00Z" Expression="2014-05-27 14:40:00Z@0 40 14 1/1 * ?" EveryNDay="1" />'

Example 3

This is an example of a Run Daily job set to start at a specific date and time, and to run every 4th day.

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule -Schedule '<Trigger Type="RunDailyTrigger" StartDateTime="2014-05-28T16:04:00Z" Expression="2014-05-28 16:04:00Z@0 4 16 1/4 * ?" EveryNDay="4" />'

Example 4

This is an example of a Run Weekly job set to start at a specific date and time, and to run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule -Schedule '<Trigger Type="RunWeeklyTrigger" StartDateTime="2014-05-30T16:01:00Z" Expression="2014-05-30 16:01:00Z@0 1 16 ? * MON,WED,FRI" RunOnWeekDays="21" />'

Example 5

This is an example of a Run Monthly job set to start at a specific date and time and to run on the 1st Wednesday of the month.

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule -Schedule '<Trigger Type="RunMonthlyTrigger" StartDateTime="2014-06-03T16:02:00Z" Expression="2014-06-03 16:02:00Z@0 2 16 3 * ?" MonthlyScheduleType="NthDayOfTheMonth" WeekType="First" WeekDay="Wednesday" DayOfTheMonth="3" />'

Example 6

This is an example of a Run Monthly job set to start at a specific date and time on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Set-ERJobDefinitionSchedule -Schedule '<Trigger Type="RunMonthlyTrigger" StartDateTime="2014-06-18T16:02:00Z" Expression="2014-06-18 16:02:00Z@0 2 16 ? * WED#3" MonthlyScheduleType="NthDayOfTheNthWeek" WeekType="Third" WeekDay="Wednesday" DayOfTheMonth="28" />'

Deleting a job

Syntax

Remove-ERJobDefinition [-JobDefinitionId] <Guid>

Remove-ERJobDefinition [-JobDefinition] <JobDefinition>

Remove-ERJobDefinition [-JobDefinitionName] <String>

Example 1

In this example, all job definitions that start with the letter A are piped into the Remove-ERJobDefinition cmdlet for deletion.

Get-ERJobDefinition a* | Remove-ERjobdefinition

Example 2

$job = Get-ERJobDefinition "AD Discovery"

Remove-ERJobDefinition $job

First, the job data is placed into the $job variable. Second, the Remove-ERJobDefinition is run with $job as the input.
