NAME Copy-DbaAgentSchedule



SYNOPSIS

Copy-DbaAgentSchedule migrates shared job schedules from one SQL Server to another.





SYNTAX

Copy-DbaAgentSchedule [[-Source] <DbaInstanceParameter>] [[-SourceSqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-Destination]

<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-DestinationSqlCredential] <Pscredential>]

[[-Schedule] <System.String[]>] [[-Id] <System.Int32[]>] [[-InputObject]

<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.JobSchedule[]>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>]

[<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

All shared job schedules are copied.



If the associated credential for the account does not exist on the destination, it will be skipped. If the shared

job schedule already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless -Force is used.





PARAMETERS

-Destination [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]

Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2000 or higher.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DestinationSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]

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.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-EnableException [<Switch>]

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.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Force [<Switch>]

If this switch is enabled, the Operator will be dropped and recreated on Destination.



Required? false

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Id [<System.Int32[]>]

Copy only specific schedule.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InputObject [<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.JobSchedule[]>]

Enables piping from Get-DbaAgentSchedule



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Schedule [<System.String[]>]

Copy only specific schedules. Note that SQL Server allows multiple schedules with the same name. Use Id for

more accurate schedule copies.



Required? false
