Extend truncated powershell error output | Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord

Question

Hi,

I am trying to run the below cmdlet but the output is truncated and I am unable to expand it.
Get-AzAutomationJobOutput -Id $job.JobId -AutomationAccountName Myautomation -ResourceGroupName MyautomationRG -Stream "any" |
Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord | select summary -ExpandProperty summary

Eventually what I am trying to achieve is, to store the azure runbook job all outputs to a txt file in SPO using the below code but the output was truncated.

$job = Start-AzAutomationRunbook -ResourceGroupName "MyautomationRG" `  
  -AutomationAccountName "Myautomation" -Name "outputwithverbose"  
  
$doLoop = $true  
While ($doLoop) {  
  $job = Get-AzAutomationJob -ResourceGroupName "MyautomationRG" `  
    -AutomationAccountName "Myautomation" -Id $job.JobId  
  $status = $job.Status  
  $doLoop = (($status -ne "Completed") -and ($status -ne "Failed") -and ($status -ne "Suspended") -and ($status -ne "Stopped"))  
}  
  
Get-AzAutomationJobOutput -ResourceGroupName "MyautomationRG" `  
  -AutomationAccountName "Myautomation" -Id $job.JobId -Stream Output  
  
# For more detailed job output, pipe the output of Get-AzAutomationJobOutput to Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord  
$logoutput = Get-AzAutomationJobOutput -ResourceGroupName "MyautomationRG" `  
  -AutomationAccountName "Myautomation" -Id $job.JobId -Stream Any | Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord | Out-String  
  
  $logoutputarray = Get-AzAutomationJobOutput -ResourceGroupName "MyautomationRG" `  
  -AutomationAccountName "Myautomation" -Id $job.JobId -Stream Any | Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord  
  
  $stream = [IO.MemoryStream]::new([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($logoutput))  
Add-pnpfile -Folder "Shared Documents" -FileName "logoutputs.txt" -Stream $stream

Complete output on runbook job details

I wonder how can I get the complete output in powershell. Thank you

@Hitender Singh - Thanks for your question.

Per my initial research, Get-AzAutomationJobOutput cmdlet lists one or more job output records, it returns only a summary, as a string, - Truncated output
The Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord cmdlet gets the full output of an Automation job output record and may meet your requirement.

The below is the snippet that I tried at my end.

$jobs = Get-AzAutomationJobOutput -Id <JOBID> -ResourceGroupName <RG> -AutomationAccountName <ACCOUNTNAME>  
foreach($job in $jobs)  
{  
 $job.StreamRecordId  
$record = Get-AzAutomationJobOutputRecord -Id $job.StreamRecordId -JobId $job.JobId -ResourceGroupName <RG> -AutomationAccountName <ACCOUNTNAME> - | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Value   
$record.value  
}  

Truncated Output with Get-AzAutomationJobOutput
