Problems with Automation and renaming an Azure Database

I am trying to create a RunBook that I can use for renaming an Azure DB for integration test purposes. I have had a look around and there are examples here but I have still not I have not been able to get any of them to work. I am using a Pay-as-you-go subscription and wish to use SQL logins.

I think its getting the correct SQLServerContext that is failing, though I cannot see see what I should be doing differently. I have create Automation credentials which just contain my SQL username and SQL password.

`

 $sqlServerName = "servername"
 $SqlCredentialAsset="AutomationCredentials"



   $sqlCred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name  $SqlCredentialAsset
    $sqlContext = New-AzureSqlDatabaseServerContext -ServerName $sqlServerName -Credential $sqlCred
    Set-AzureSqlDatabase -ConnectionContext $sqlContext -ServerName  -DatabaseName "test" -NewDatabaseName "test_rename"`

EDIT

The steps I had to add to get Joys script to run from my current set up was:

If this is your final goal, just try the script in your powershell runbook, it works fine on my side.

$connectionName = "AzureRunAsConnection"
try
{
    # Get the connection "AzureRunAsConnection "
    $servicePrincipalConnection=Get-AutomationConnection -Name $connectionName         

    "Logging in to Azure..."
    Add-AzureRmAccount `
        -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
    }
}

Set-AzureRmSqlDatabase -ResourceGroupName "joywebapp" -ServerName "joydb" -DatabaseName "joydb3" -NewName "joydb2"
