Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob

Reference

Module:: Az.Automation

Compiles a DSC configuration in Automation.

Syntax

Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob
     [-ConfigurationName] <String>
     [-Parameters <IDictionary>]
     [-ConfigurationData <IDictionary>]
     [-ResourceGroupName] <String>
     [-AutomationAccountName] <String>
     [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
     [-IncrementNodeConfigurationBuild]
     [-WhatIf]
     [-Confirm]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob cmdlet compiles an APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration in Azure Automation.

Examples

Example 1: Compile an Azure DSC configuration in Automation

PS C:\>$Params = @{"StringParam"="Hello World";"IntegerParam"=32}
PS C:\> Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob -ConfigurationName "Config01" -Parameters $Params -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01"

The first command creates a dictionary of parameters, and stores them in the $Params variable. The second command compiles the DSC configuration named Config01. The command includes the values in $Params for DSC configuration parameters.

Example 2: Compile an Azure DSC configuration in Automation with a new Node Configuration build version.

PS C:\>$Params = @{"StringParam"="Hello World";"IntegerParam"=32}
PS C:\> Start-AzAutomationDscCompilationJob -ConfigurationName "Config01" -Parameters $Params -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -IncrementNodeConfigurationBuild

Similar to the first example, the first command creates a dictionary of parameters, and stores them in the $Params variable. The second command compiles the DSC configuration named Config01. The command includes the values in $Params for DSC configuration parameters. It does not override the earlier existing Node Configuration by creating a new Node Configuration with the name Config01[<2>].. The version number is incremented based on the existing version number already present.
