Description
The Import-AzAutomationRunbook cmdlet imports an Azure Automation runbook. Specify the
path to a wps_2 script (.ps1) file to import for wps_2 and wps_2 Workflow runbooks,
(.graphrunbook) file for graphical runbooks, or (.py) file for python 2 runbooks.
For wps_2 Workflow runbooks, the script must contain a single wps_2 Workflow definition that matches the name of the file.
Examples
Example 1: Import a runbook from a file
$Tags = @{"tag01"="value01"; "tag02"="value02"}
Import-AzAutomationRunbook -Path .\GraphicalRunbook06.graphrunbook -Tags $Tags -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -AutomationAccountName "AutomationAccount01" -Type GraphicalPowershell
The first command assigns two key/value pairs to the $Tags variable.
The second command imports a graphical runbook called GraphicalRunbook06 into the Automation account named AutomationAccount01.
The command also assigns the tags stored in $Tags.
Example 2
