Error while executing Pause Azure SQLDatawarehouse ps script - azure

Question

I am using Automation Account with execution of PowerShell Runbook for Pausing my Azure Datawarehouse database.
Setup is completed with creation of crendentials, certificate for Thumbprints.
When I executed the PS script and completed with error message
No Azure SQL Data Warehouse named ADWPOC exist on SQL Server At SuspendOrPauseAzureSQLDataWarehouse:72 char:72 + + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException
I have provided the name of database and server details correctly while executing this script. I am not sure what is the problem here. Please advise.
I have imported the PS script from runbook gallery "Suspend Or Pause Azure SQL Data Warehouse". Please let me know if you want me to attach the script here?

Answer 1

Not sure, but the script looks too old, it still uses the AzureRm module which has been deprecated.
To pause the data warehouse in the runbook, I recommend you to use new Az module, sample here, to use that in runbook, just follow the steps as below.
1.Navigate to your automation account in the portal -> Modules, make sure you have imported the Az.Accounts and Az.Sql modules, if not, in the Modules -> Browse Gallery, search for the modules and import them.
2.After importing the modules successfully, navigate to the Runbooks -> create a PowerShell runbook(not the PowerShell Workflow), then use the script as below in the runbook.
Note: The <server-name> should be like testserver, not testserver.database.windows.net.
$connectionName = "AzureRunAsConnection"
try
{
# Get the connection "AzureRunAsConnection "
$servicePrincipalConnection=Get-AutomationConnection -Name $connectionName
"Logging in to Azure..."
Connect-AzAccount `
-ServicePrincipal `
-TenantId $servicePrincipalConnection.TenantId `
-ApplicationId $servicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId `
-CertificateThumbprint $servicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint
}
catch {
if (!$servicePrincipalConnection)
{
$ErrorMessage = "Connection $connectionName not found."
throw $ErrorMessage
} else{
Write-Error -Message $_.Exception
throw $_.Exception
}
}
$database = Get-AzSqlDatabase –ResourceGroupName "<resource-group-name>" –ServerName "<server-name>" –DatabaseName "<data-warehouse-name>"
if($database){
if($database.Status -eq 'Paused'){
Write-Output "The Data Warehouse was already paused."
}else{
$database | Suspend-AzSqlDatabase
Write-Output "The Data Warehouse has been paused."
}
}else{
Write-Output "The Data Warehouse does not exist."
}
