azure automation: 'Invoke-ProcessASDatabase' is not recognized

Question

I am trying to use runbook in Azure automation account to process Azure Analysis Service cube.

I followed Microsoft blog https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-runbook-gallery.

However I got following error message when testing it. My runbook script is as following: Can you please help?

Runbook Script:

$SPCredential = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name "TestCred"

$null = Invoke-ProcessASDatabase -databasename "SalesCube" -server "asazure://xx" -RefreshType "Full" -Credential $SPCredential 

Write-Output "Done"

error message:

Invoke-ProcessASDatabase : The term 'Invoke-ProcessASDatabase' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Thank you for reporting this issue. We reported this thread to Microsoft this morning.

The following answer is coming from a Microsoft Azure manager:

An issue has been identified with the .Net version for Azure Automation sandboxes that released a lower version then what was used previously. An update is rolling out to support .Net 4.6 that should resolve issues with PowerShell modules depending on a version on or above .Net 4.5. It is currently planned to be rolled out to all regions by next Monday (the 5th).

Hope this helps.
