Using the Job Scheduler Powershell Adapter, it's possible to create jobs or monitors that use the JobScheduler API in Powershell.
Requirements
- Windows Machine with a JobScheduler installation
- .Net Framework 4
- Powershell 2
Installation
- Download the JobScheduler Powershell Adapter from here (link)
- Unzip the file to the bin directory of your JobScheduler installation
- Register the assembly by running
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe [install_path]\bin\JobSchedulerPowershellAdapter.dll /codebase
Usage
The Powershell Adapter uses the JobScheduler COM interface.
Currently, neither COM Jobs nor Powershell Jobs are supported by JOE. So, Powershell Jobs need to be configured by editing XML files.
To configure a powershell job:
- Have the
<script>use thecom_class JSPowershellAdapter.JobAdapter - define a parameter
powershell_scriptwhich points to the location of the Powershell Job implementation - write a powershell Job implementation which at least implements
Function spooler_process()
Example job definition
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<job>
<params>
<param name="test" value="12345"/>
<param name="powershell_script" value="powershell\powershell_job.ps1"/>
</params>
<script com_class="JSPowershellAdapter.JobAdapter"/>
<run_time once="no"/>
</job>
Example Powershell Job Script
