Copy-DbaAgentJob migrates jobs from one SQL Server to another.
By default, all jobs are copied. The -Job parameter is auto-populated for command-line completion and can be used to copy only specific jobs.
If the job already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless -Force is used.

PS C:\> Copy-DbaAgentJob -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster
Copies all jobs from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster, using Windows credentials. If jobs with the same name exist on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.
PS C:\> Copy-DbaAgentJob -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -Job PSJob -SourceSqlCredential $cred -Force
Copies a single job, the PSJob job from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster, using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a and Windows credentials for sqlcluster. If a job with the same name exists on
sqlcluster, it will be dropped and recreated because -Force was used.
PS C:\> Copy-DbaAgentJob -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -WhatIf -Force
Shows what would happen if the command were executed using force.
PS C:\> Get-DbaAgentJob -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a | Where-Object Category -eq "Report Server" | Copy-DbaAgentJob -Destination sqlserver2014b

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
