Job Tracker Help

Post by james.bernard »

Product, version and build: PS Studio 2020

Hey all
I am new to PS Studio and PowerShell in general. I have created a PS Form for our Service Desk and Level 2 Techs to use. Right now the form freezes when running one of the functions, and I am trying to use the Job Tracker to keep the form free while the function runs. I created a test form with just one function to try and work it out and apply to the original form, but so far no luck. I have not been able to find a page that shows step by step instructions on customizing the job tracker functions yet. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? It runs the function and outputs to the richtextbox but the form still locks up. Any help is appreciated.

Code: Select all

$button1_Click={
	$Icheck = InfoCheck
	Add-JobTracker -Name $job -JobScript {
		
		Param (
			
			$Icheck
			
		)
		
		# other code
		
	} -CompletedScript {
		
		Receive-Job -Job $job 
		
	} -ArgumentList $Icheck
	
}

We don't customize the functions. Just use the functions and supply the scriptblocks.

Load the JobTracker sample and run it to see how to use it.

Look in the InfoCenter for articles showing how the JobTracker works.

Also i think i worded that badly. I am not changing the function. I supplied the code where i called the job tracker function. Is that setup incorrectly?

Just create a new form and add the custom control set named "Form - Job Tracker". Run it and investigate how it works.
