Using TSQL How to Script All SQL Server Agent Jobs into One File

Question

I am trying to find TSQL that will script all the SQL Server Agent Jobs into one File. I haven't found anything yet. Can someone point me to an URL that I can look into?

We are uninstalling SQL Server Standard and installing SQL Server Developer, thus, I have to script out the jobs into a file on a directory in a server before the uninstall and after installing SQL Server Developer then I can execute the file.

Answer 1

I don't think I can use https://docs.dbatools.io/Export-DbaScript. I cannot get it to work. Still looking for TSQL code that will work.

Answer 2

The term 'Get-DbaAgentJob' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,

You have to install/import the CmdLet first, see https://dbatools.io/download/

Answer 3

This is what I have typed in..........................................

PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-Module dbatools

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance DEV01 | Export-DbaScript -FilePath C:\Users\UserNameHere\export.sql -Append
WARNING: [21:15:50][Get-DbaAgentJob] Failure | The network path was not found

PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted

PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-Module dbatools

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance DEV01 | Export-DbaScript -FilePath C:\Users\UserNameHere\export.sql -Append
WARNING: [21:23:14][Get-DbaAgentJob] Failure | The network path was not found

PS C:\Windows\system32>

What does this error "WARNING: [21:23:14][Get-DbaAgentJob] Failure | The network path was not found" mean?
What am I doing wrong?

I was finally able to get dbtools to work. But I am being told that we cannot use it because it is a 3rd Party Tool. Is that true? Is it considered a 3rd Party Tool?
