How to pass information between jobs

After a job completed, another job has to be placed in the Job Queue for the exact same file and with additional arguments

At the end of the job, a new job can be placed in the Job Queue using the Add-VaultJob cmdlet.

If the new job has to be executed for a specific entity, some -Parameters  have always to be passed, these include the ID of the entity and it's EntityClass. 

In order to pass additional parameters e.g. to update a property on the actual file with some value detected in the current job, you can add them to the -Parameters argument using following code:

Write-Host "Starting job 'Create PDF as attachment' for file '$($file._Name)' ..."
$vaultPDFfileLocation = ...
...
# END OF JOB
Add-VaultJob -Name "UpdateFileProperties" -Description "Update File Properties" -Priority 100 -Parameters @{
    "EntityId" = $file.Id;
    "EntityClassId" = $file._EntityTypeID;

    "PDFVaultLocation" = $vaultPDFfileLocation
}
Write-Host "Completed job 'Create PDF as attachment'"

Also the custom argument "PDFVaultLocation" can be directly accessed via the $job  object using $job.PDFVaultLocation:

Write-Host "Starting job 'UpdateFileProperties' for file '$($file._Name)' ..."

Update-VaultFile $file._FullPath -Properties  @{ 'PDF Location' = $job.PDFVaultLocation }
...
