Description

The Import-AzureRmAutomationRunbook cmdlet imports an Azure Automation runbook. Specify the path to a wps_2 script (.ps1) file to import for wps_2 and wps_2 Workflow runbooks, (.graphrunbook) file for graphical runbooks, or (.py) file for python 2 runbooks. For wps_2 Workflow runbooks, the script must contain a single wps_2 Workflow definition that matches the name of the file.

Examples

Example 1: Import a runbook from a file

PS C:\> $Tags = @{"tag01"="value01"; "tag02"="value02"}
PS C:\> Import-AzureRmAutomationRunbook -Path .\GraphicalRunbook06.graphrunbook -Tags $Tags -ResourceGroup "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "AutomationAccount01" -Type GraphicalPowershell

The first command assigns two key/value pairs to the $Tags variable. The second command imports a graphical runbook called GraphicalRunbook06 into the Automation account named AutomationAccount01. The command also assigns the tags stored in $Tags.
