[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-SqlAgentJob cmdlet gets a SQL Agent Job object for each job that is present in the target instance of SQL Agent. If the name of the job is provided, the cmdlet gets only this specific job object.
This cmdlet supports the following modes of operation to get a collection of Job objects:
- Specify the path of the SQL Agent instance.
- Pass the instance of the SQL Agent in the input.
- Invoke the cmdlet in a valid context.
Examples
Example 1: Get all Job instances from the specified server instance
PS C:\> Get-SqlAgent -ServerInstance MyServerInstance | Get-SqlAgentJob
Name Owner Category Enabled CurrentRunStatus DateCreated LastModified JobID
---- ----- -------- ------- ---------------- ----------- ------------ -----
MyJob1 Owner [Uncategorized (Local)] True Idle 6/2/2016 10:21:44 AM 6/2/2016 10:21:44 AM 841255df-06e8-43ef-b798-3...
MyJob2 Owner [Uncategorized (Local)] True Idle 5/31/2016 2:40:58 PM 6/1/2016 5:09:40 PM 995b296a-cd35-4505-868a-3...
MyJob3 Owner [Uncategorized (Local)] True Idle 5/25/2016 12:13:56 PM 5/25/2016 12:13:56 PM 01d2e61a-9a90-4f77-98f4-e...This command gets all Job instances in the server instance named 'MyServerInstance'.
Example 2: Get a job instance by name from the specified server instance
PS C:\> Get-SqlAgent -ServerInstance MyServerInstance | Get-SqlAgentJob -Name MyJob1
Name Owner Category Enabled CurrentRunStatus DateCreated LastModified JobID
---- ----- -------- ------- ---------------- ----------- ------------ -----
MyJob1 Owner [Uncategorized (Local)] True Idle 6/2/2016 10:21:44 AM 6/2/2016 10:21:44 AM 841255df-06e8-43ef-b798-3...This command gets the Job instance named 'MyJob1' in the Server Instance named 'MyServerInstance'.
Parameters
-AccessToken
The access token used to authenticate to SQL Server, as an alternative to user/password or Windows Authentication.
This can be used, for example, to connect to SQL Azure DB and SQL Azure Managed Instance
using a Service Principal or a Managed Identity.
The parameter to use can be either a string representing the token or a PSAccessToken object as returned by running Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
| Type: | PSObject |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ConnectionTimeout
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a server connection before a time-out failure. The time-out value must be an integer Value between 0 and 65534. If 0 is specified, connection attempts do not time out.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |

| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Credential
Specifies a PSCredential object used to specify the credentials for a SQL Server login that has permission to perform this operation.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Encrypt
The encryption type to use when connecting to SQL Server.
This value maps to the Encrypt property SqlConnectionEncryptOption on the SqlConnection object of the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver.
In v22 of the module, the default is Optional (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be 'Mandatory', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
| Type: | String |

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-HostNameInCertificate
The host name to be used in validating the SQL Server TLS/SSL certificate. You must pass this parameter if your SQL Server instance is enabled for Force Encryption and you want to connect to an instance using hostname/shortname. If this parameter is omitted then passing the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to -ServerInstance is necessary to connect to a SQL Server instance enabled for Force Encryption.
This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
