Examples

------------------EXAMPLE------------------

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. The snapshots available for the job are stored in DtSnaps and then the first snapshot is stored in FirstSnap. That first snapshot is then deleted. The connections for the server object are then closed.

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

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

$DtSnaps = Get-DtSnapshot -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta -JobId $DtJobForAlpha.Id

$FirstSnap=$DtSnaps | Select-Object -First 1

Remove-DtSnapshot -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta -SnapshotId $FirstSnap.Id

Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtServerObjectBeta
