Description

The Resume-Job cmdlet resumes a workflow job that was suspended, such as by using the Suspend-Job cmdlet or the about_Suspend-Workflow activity. When a workflow job resumes, the job engine reconstructs the state, metadata, and output from saved resources, such as checkpoints. The job is restarted without any loss of state or data. The job state is changed from Suspended to Running.

Use the parameters of Resume-Job to select jobs by name, ID, instance ID or pipe a job object, such as one returned by the Get-Job cmdlet, to Resume-Job. You can also use a property filter to select a job to be resumed.

By default, Resume-Job returns immediately, even though all jobs might not yet be resumed. To suppress the command prompt until all specified jobs are resumed, use the Wait parameter.

The Resume-Job cmdlet works only on custom job types, such as workflow jobs. It does not work on standard background jobs, such as those that are started by using the Start-Job cmdlet. If you submit a job of an unsupported type, Resume-Job generates a terminating error and stops running.

To identify a workflow job, look for a value of PSWorkflowJob in the PSJobTypeName property of the job. To determine whether a particular custom job type supports the Resume-Job cmdlet, see the help topics for the custom job type.

Before using a Job cmdlet on a custom job type, import the module that supports the custom job type, either by using the Import-Module cmdlet or getting or using a cmdlet in the module.

This cmdlet was introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.

Examples

Example 1: Resume a job by ID

The commands in this example verify that the job is a suspended workflow job and then resume the job. The first command uses the Get-Job cmdlet to get the job. The output shows that the job is a suspended workflow job. The second command uses the Id parameter of the Resume-Job cmdlet to resume the job with an Id value of 4.

PS C:\> Get-Job EventJob
Id     Name            PSJobTypeName   State         HasMoreData     Location   Command
--     ----            -------------   -----         -----------     --------   -------
4      EventJob        PSWorkflowJob   Suspended     True            Server01   \\Script\Share\Event.ps1

PS C:\> Resume-Job -Id 4

Example 2: Resume a job by name

This command uses the Name parameter to resume several workflow jobs on the local computer.

PS C:\> Resume-Job -Name WorkflowJob, InventoryWorkflow, WFTest*

Example 3: Use custom property values

This command uses the value of a custom property to identify the workflow job to resume. It uses the Filter parameter to identify the workflow job by its CustomID property. It also uses the State parameter to verify that the workflow job is suspended, before it tries to resume it.

PS C:\> Resume-Job -Filter @{CustomID="T091291"} -State Suspended

Example 4: Resume all suspended jobs on a remote computer

This command resumes all suspended jobs on the Srv01 remote computer.

PS C:\> Invoke-Command -ComputerName Srv01 -ScriptBlock {Get-Job -State Suspended | Resume-Job}

The command uses the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a command on the Srv01 computer. The remote command uses the State parameter of the Get-Job cmdlet to get all suspended jobs on the computer. A pipeline operator (|) sends the suspended jobs to the Resume-Job cmdlet, which resumes them.

Example 5: Wait for jobs to resume

This command uses the Wait parameter to direct Resume-Job to return only after all specified jobs are resumed. The Wait parameter is especially useful in scripts that assume that jobs are resumed before the script continues.

PS C:\> Resume-Job -Name WorkflowJob, InventoryWorkflow, WFTest* -Wait

Example 6: Resume a workflow that suspends itself

This code sample shows the Suspend-Workflow activity in a workflow.

The Test-Suspend workflow on the Server01 computer. When you run the workflow, the workflow runs the Get-Date activity and stores the result in the $a variable. Then it runs the Suspend-Workflow activity. In response, it takes a checkpoint, suspends the workflow, and returns a workflow job object. Suspend-Workflow returns a workflow job object even if the workflow is not explicitly run as a job.

Resume-Job resumes the Test-Suspend workflow in Job8. It uses the Wait parameter to hold the command prompt until the job is resumed.

The Receive-Job cmdlet gets the results of the Test-Suspend workflow. The final command in the workflow returns a TimeSpan object that represents the elapsed time between the current date and time and the date and time that was saved in the $a variable before the workflow was suspended.

#SampleWorkflow
Workflow Test-Suspend
{
    $a = Get-Date
    Suspend-Workflow
    (Get-Date)- $a
}

PS C:\> Test-Suspend -PSComputerName Server01
Id     Name            PSJobTypeName   State         HasMoreData     Location             Command
--     ----            -------------   -----         -----------     --------             -------
8      Job8            PSWorkflowJob   Suspended     True            Server01             Test-Suspend

PS C:\> Resume-Job -Name "Job8" -Wait
Id     Name            PSJobTypeName   State         HasMoreData     Location             Command
--     ----            -------------   -----         -----------     --------             -------
8      Job8            PSWorkflowJob   Running       True            Server01             Test-Suspend

PS C:\> Receive-Job -Name Job8

The Resume-Job cmdlet lets you resume a workflow job that was suspend by using the Suspend-Workflow activity. This activity suspends a workflow from within a workflow. It is valid only in workflows.

For information about the Suspend-Workflow, see about_Suspend-Workflow](../PSWorkflow/about/about_Suspend-Workflow.md).

Aliases:	wi
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Inputs

Job

You can pipe all types of jobs to this cmdlet. If Resume-Job gets a job of an unsupported type, it returns a terminating error.

Outputs

None, System.Management.Automation.Job

This cmdlet returns the jobs that it tries to resume, if you use the PassThru parameter. Otherwise, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Notes

Windows PowerShell includes the following aliases for Resume-Job:

rujb
Resume-Job can only resume jobs that are suspended. If you submit a job in a different state, Resume-Job runs the resume operation on the job, but generates a warning to notify you that the job could not be resumed. To suppress the warning, use the WarningAction common parameter with a value of SilentlyContinue.
If a job is not of a type that supports resuming, such as a workflow job (PSWorkflowJob), Resume-Job returns a terminating error.
The mechanism and location for saving a suspended job might vary depending on the job type. For example, suspended workflow jobs are saved in a flat file store by default, but can also be saved in a SQL database.
When you resume a job, the job state changes from Suspended to Running. To find the jobs that are running, including those that were resumed by this cmdlet, use the State parameter of the Get-Job cmdlet to get jobs in the Running state.
Some job types have options or properties that prevent Windows PowerShell from suspending the job. If attempts to suspend the job fail, verify that the job options and properties allow for suspending.
