Answer\">One of the frustrating things about using the Window PowerShell job cmdlets is that if you&rsquo;re not careful, <br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; you lose the data in your job when you access the job. The following command returns the job&rsquo;s data, <br \/>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; but it also deletes that data:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:120px\">Receive-Job -Id 8<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:60px\">If you want the data available, use the&nbsp;<b>&ndash;Keep<\/b>&nbsp;parameter:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:120px\">Receive-Job -Id 10 &ndash;Keep<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:60px\">Using&nbsp;<b>&ndash;Keep<\/b>&nbsp;is a good habit to get into. It&rsquo;ll save you having to rerun a bunch of jobs to regenerate the data. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Learn how to use Windows PowerShell to keep job data available for future use. &nbsp;How can I keep my job data?
