Start a Timer Job
Scenario/Problem: You want to start a specific timer job.
Solution: Use the Start-SPTimerJob
cmdlet.
To start a timer job, execute the Start-SPTimerJob
cmdlet with the Identity
of the timer job or a timer job variable. Listing 4.26 shows a sample command line.
$timerJob = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "DocIDEnable"Start-SPTimerJob $timerJob
In this scenario, the timer job kicks off when you start it manually. This is the same as selecting the Run Now button in Central Administration.
Tip
You cannot start a timer job that is disabled. Use Enable-SPTimerJob
first to ensure that the timer job is enabled before attempting to start the job.
