• Line 2-3: The job is executed with a Windows Agent that is assigned by a process class. The job is of type "powershell" and will use the Powershell version provided with the server.
• Line 4-5: The required PowerShell modules are imported. They could be installed with any location in the filesystemfile system
• Line 7: The Connect-JS cmdlet is used to authenticate with the JOC Cockpit REST Web Service. The required URL and credentials are specified in a PowerShell profile, see PowerShell CLI 1.2 - Use Cases - Credentials Management
• Line 10: For better readability of the report the start types of jobs are mapped to a textual representation (single start, cyclic start etc.).
• Line 13: The Get-JSDailyPlan cmdlet is called 
  • with the parameter -Timezone to specify to which timezone date values in the report should be converted. The parameter value -Timezone (Get-Timezone) specifies that the timezone of the Agent's server is used. Otherwise specify the desired timezone e.g. like this: -Timezone (Get-Timezon Timezone -Id 'GMT Standard Time'). Without using this parameter all any date values are stored as UTC dates to the report.
  • optionally with additional parameters, e.g. to specify the date for which the report is created  A value -DateTo (Get-Date -Hour 0 -Minute 0 -Second 0).AddDays(8).ToUniversalTime() specifies that the report should cover the next 7 days (until midnight). Keep in mind that dates have to be specified for the UTC timezone. Without this parameter the report will be created for the next day.
  • see the Get-JSDailyPlan cmdlet for a full parameter reference.
• Line 14-26: From the output of the Get-JSDailyPlan cmdlet a number of properties are selected and and are specified in the sequence in which they should occur in the report. 
  • To add more speaking column headers the property names are mapped to a more readable textual representation.
  • Consider the handling of date formats in line 21, 22 and 24, 25. Use of the Get-Date cmdlet converts the output format of dates (not the timezone) to the default format that is in place on the Agent's server. Without using the Get-Date cmdlet all date values will be stored to the report in ISO format, e.g. 2020-12-31 10:11:12+02:00 for a date in the European central timezone that is UTC+1 in winter time and UTC+2 in summer time.
  • Lines 23, 26 introduce a new property, a calculated duration. From the start time and end time values of a planned start and optionally of a past start the difference in seconds is calculated and forwarded to the report.
• Line 27: The list of properties per daily plan item is piped to the Export-Excel cmdlet that is available with the ImportExcel PowerShell Module. The report file name is specified and optionally the worksheet. For a full list of parameters see the ImportExcel PowerShell Module.
