Description

The Start-FsrmFileManagementJob cmdlet attempts to start a file management job. If you specify the Queue parameter, the start is delayed by approximately 5 minutes to wait for other file management jobs that the server can run at the same time.

Examples

Example 1: Start a file management job

PS C:\> Start-FsrmFileManagementJob -Name "Expire stale Data"

This command starts the file management job named Expire stale Data immediately.

Example 2: Queue a file management job and set the run duration

PS C:\> Start-FsrmFileManagementJob -Name "Expire stale Data" -Queue -RunDuration 4

This command queues the file management job named Expire stale Data to start in the next 5 minutes and specifies that the server does not run the job any longer than 4 hours.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-Queue

Indicates that the server adds the file management job to a queue and the task should run the next 5 minutes. Any tasks that the server queues during the next 5 minutes are run together. If you do not specify this parameter, the server runs the file management job immediately.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-RunDuration

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
