I have a script that accepts parameters, dynamically create and execute SQL commands to backup and restore Databases using a backup agent. My desire is to use this script file in conjunction withe the "Start-Job" cmdlet so I can perform the process on multiple DB's at the same time.
It accepts the following parameters:
param
([string] $BackupServer, #Server to be backed up
[string] $RestoreServer,#Server where backup is to be restore
[string] $BackupDrive, #Drive where backup file will be created
[string] $DBName #DB to be backed up and restored
)
When I run it at the prompt as such:
\DB_Backup_Restore.ps1 "KCTS270" "WMDWM200D" "I$" "DW_Mart"
It work fine.
When I run it at the prompt like this:
start-job -ScriptBlock {H:\PSHell\DB_Backup_Restore.ps1 } -ArgumentList "KCTS270", "WMDWM200D","I$", "DW_Core"
It runs and show up in the get-job info, but does nothing:
PS H:\pshell> get-job
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
-- ---- ----- ----------- -------- -------
39 Job39 Running True localhost H:\PSHell\DB_Backup_Re...
41 Job41 Running True localhost H:\PSHell\DB_Backup_Re...
I have also tried it as:
start-job -ScriptBlock {H:\PSHell\DB_Backup_Restore.ps1 $BackupServer $RestoreServer $BackupDrive $DBName} -ArgumentList "KCTS270","WMDWM200D","I$","DW_Core"
start-job -filepath H:\PSHell\DB_Backup_Restore.ps1 -ArgumentList "KCTS270","WMDWM200D","I$","DW_Core"
start-job -ScriptBlock {H:\PSHell\DB_Backup_Restore.ps1 $args[0] $args[1] $args[2] $args[3]} -ArgumentList "KCTS270","WMDWM200D","I$","DW_Core"
All with similar results, I am fairly sure it has to do with the parameters not getting through, any thoughts?
