Examples

$DtServerObjectAlpha= New-DtServer -Name alpha -UserName domain\administrator -Password password

$DtServerObjectBeta = New-DtServer -Name beta -UserName domain\administrator -Password password

$DtWorkloadGuid = New-DtWorkload -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha -WorkloadTypeName FilesAndFolders

$DtWorkload = Get-DtWorkload -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha -WorkloadId $DtWorkloadGuid

$DtJobOptions = Get-DtRecommendedJobOptions -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta -Source $DtServerObjectAlpha -JobType FilesAndFolders -Workload $DtWorkload

New-DtFilesAndFoldersJob -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta -Source $DtServerObjectAlpha -Path "C:\Data" -TargetPath "C:\Alpha\C" -Name "Alpha to Beta" -JobOptions $DtJobOptions.JobOptions

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta

A server object is created for the server alpha using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectAlpha. A server object is created for the server beta using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectBeta. The script then creates a workload on the server for a files and folders job, returning a global unique ID for the workload, and assigns that ID to the variable DtWorkloadGuid. The workload definition for the workload type and the server is then stored in the DtWorkload variable. The recommended job options for the servers and the workload type are then stored in the variable DtJobOptions. A new files and folders job is created using the servers and the job options. The connections for the server object are then closed.
