Examples

------------------EXAMPLE 1------------------

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 job(s) are retrieved from DtServerObjectBeta, but only the job information where the source machine name is equivalent to the name stored in the variable DtServerObjectAlpha is retrieved. That information is then stored in the variable DtJobForAlpha. Then the recommended restore options for the specified job and server are returned. The connections for the server object are then closed.

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

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

$DtJobForAlpha = Get-DtJob -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta | Where-Object {$_.Statistics.CoreConnectionDetails.SourceMachineName -eq $DtServerObjectAlpha}

Get-DtRecommendedRestoreOptions -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta -JobId $DtJobForAlpha.Id -RestoreTarget $DtServerObjectAlpha

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectAlpha

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta

------------------EXAMPLE 2------------------

If you want to clear the restore required flag, save your recommended restore options to a variable and then set ClearRestoreRequired to true.

$DtRecommendedRestoreOptions = Get-DtRecommendedRestoreOptions -ServiceHost

$DtServerObjectBeta -JobId $DtJobForAlpha.Id -RestoreTarget $DtServerObjectAlpha -RequestCanClearRestoreRequired

$DtRestoreOptions = $DtRecommendedRestoreOptions.RestoreOptions

$DtRestoreOptions.ClearRestoreRequired = $true
