Introduction 

To assist the system administrator with the bulk configuration of the RecordPoint Active Queue Timer Jobs, we provide a set of PowerShell scripts that enable the export and import of the timer job configuration.
The relevant scripts are:

• RecordPoint-Export-ActiveQueueTimerJobs.ps1
• RecordPoint-Import-ActiveQueueTimerJobs.ps1

These scripts allow the system administrator to apply tiering of the processing schedules for large numbers of queues by providing for bulk export and import of the timer job configuration via CSV file.
Both scripts are included as part of the distribution of the product and be found within the Scripts directory.

Running the scripts

Export Active Queue Timer Jobs

1. Use RecordPoint-Export-ActiveQueueTimerJobs.ps1 to extract the current scheduling information for the active site queues:
2. From a windows command prompt running under Administrator, run the following command from the directory containing the Powershell script:
   ./RecordPoint-Export-ActiveQueueTimerJobs.ps1 <outputfile.csv>
   Where <outputfile.csv> is the location of the file in which you would like to save the output of the script.
3. Open the output file in a text editor or with Excel. You will see one row for each timer job with the following columns:

• • WebApplication,JobName,JobId,ScheduleType,Interval,BeginDayOfWeek,EndDayOfWeek,BeginDay,EndDay,BeginMonth,EndMonth,BeginHour,BeginMinute,BeginSecond,EndHour,EndMinute,EndSecond
  • The first three columns identify the job and the SharePoint active site and should not be altered.
  • The remaining columns specify the schedule to which the job will run and may be modified in accordance with the following schedule types.
  • Any data provided that is not relevant to the selected schedule type will be ignored.
