## Detailed Description This cmdlet returns an array of Microsoft SQL Server databases with ongoing export jobs. ## Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
DatabaseName	Specifies an array of names of Microsoft SQL Server databases. The cmdlet will return an array of databases with the specified names that have ongoing export jobs. This parameter accepts wildcard characters.	`String[]`	False	Named	False
InstanceName	Specifies an array of names of Microsoft SQL Server instances. The cmdlet will return an array of databases on the specified instances that have ongoing export jobs. This parameter accepts wildcard characters.	`String[]`	False	Named	False
JobId	Specifies the job ID of the required export job. The cmdlet will return information about the export process performed for the specified database.	`Guid`	True	Named	True (ByValue)
ServerName	Specifies an array of names of Microsoft SQL Server machines (as DNS names or IP addresses). The cmdlet will return an array of databases on the specified servers that have ongoing export jobs. This parameter accepts wildcard characters.	`String[]`	False	Named	False
TargetHost	Specifies an array of names of target Microsoft SQL Server servers (as DNS names or IP addresses) for export operations.

`` This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the [About Common Parameters](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216) section of Microsoft Docs. ## Output Object The cmdlet returns the [`VESQLDatabaseExport`](vesqldatabaseexport.md)`[]` array that contains ongoing export jobs for Microsoft SQL Server databases. ## Examples ::: example ### Example 1. Getting All Export Jobs This command returns all active Microsoft SQL Server export jobs. Save the result to the `$export` variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets. ``` $export = Get-VESQLDatabaseExport ``` ::: ::: example ### Example 2. Getting Export Job by Job ID This example shows how to get a specific export job by its job ID. ``` Get-VESQLDatabaseExport $export = Get-VESQLDatabaseExport -JobId "9c1b10de-7236-4905-a817-70db4e003f39" ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Run the `Get-VESQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. This command returns all active Microsoft SQL Server export jobs. Save the `JobId` value for the export job that you need. 2. Run the `Get-VESQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. Specify the `JobId` parameter value. Save the result to the `$export` variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets. ::: ::: example ### Example 3. Getting All Export Jobs for Databases with Specific Names on Specific Instances This example shows how to get an array of active export jobs for databases with specific names located on specific instances. ``` $dbnames = @("fiscal", "sales", "IT") $instancenames = @("instance1", "instance2") $export = Get-VESQLDatabaseExport -DatabaseName $dbnames -InstanceName $instancenames ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Declare the `$dbnames` variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the necessary Microsoft SQL Server databases. 2. Declare the `$instancenames` variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the Microsoft SQL Server instances that you want to query. 3. Run the `Get-VESQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. Set the `$dbnames` variable as the `DatabaseName` parameter value. Set the `$instancenames` variable as the `InstanceName` parameter value. Save the result to the `$export` variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets. ::: ::: example ### Example 4. Getting All Export Jobs to Specific Target Servers This example shows how to get an array of active export jobs to specific target servers. ``` $targetservernames = @("srv89", "srv90") $export = Get-VESQLDatabaseExport -TargetHost $targetservernames ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Declare the `$targetservernames` variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the necessary target servers. 2. Run the `Get-VESQLDatabaseExport` cmdlet. Set the `$targetservernames` variable as the `TargetHost` parameter value. Save the result to the `$export` variable to be able to use it with other cmdlets. :::
