Setting Parameter in a powershell script and put them to the next step / powershell script in job chain.

At every change of status in job chains Job Scheduler parses a temporary file for "namh1. value" pairs. The "namevalue" pairs will be set as order params. The name of the temporary file is availabe with the environment variable SCHEDULER_RETURN_VALUES. See Passing_parameters_from_shell-jobs_to_JS also for a sample to pass parameters to pure shell jobs.

The sample below describes a job chain with two steps. Both are running the generic job PowerShellExecutor to execute a powershell script within JobScheduler.

First Step: set a parameter for the next step in the job chain (powershell_with_parameter_set.ps1)

 $A="myParam=PowerShellParam"
 $A | out-file -encoding ASCII $env:scheduler_return_values
 get-content $env:scheduler_return_values
 exit $lastexitcode
 # to change the policy for using powershell you can use this .adm file:
 #    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=25119

Second Step: get the parameter sets in the first step (powershell_with_parameter_get.ps1)

 "job-node parameter from the previous step:"
 "myParam=$env:SCHEDULER_PARAM_myParam"
 exit $lastexitcode
 # to change the policy for using powershell you can use this .adm file:

Job Chain

the xml representation of the job_chain:

 <job_chain>
    <job_chain_node state="100" job="PowerShellExecutor" next_state="150" error_state="error"/>
    <job_chain_node state="150" job="PowerShellExecutor" next_state="200" error_state="error"/>
    <job_chain_node state="success"/>
    <job_chain_node state="error"/>
 </job_chain>

The parameters for the job chain nodes are defined in a separated configuration file. Click the parameter button shown in the image above to specify the parameters for the selected job chain node.
