function Copy-DbaXESessionTemplate { <# .SYNOPSIS Copies non-Microsoft templates from the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\) to $home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates. .DESCRIPTION Copies non-Microsoft templates from the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\) to $home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates. Useful for when you want to use the SSMS GUI. .PARAMETER Path The path to the template directory. Defaults to the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\). .PARAMETER Destination Path to the Destination directory, defaults to $home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates. .PARAMETER EnableException 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. .NOTES Tags: ExtendedEvent, XE, XEvent Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Copy-DbaXESessionTemplate .EXAMPLE Copy-DbaXESessionTemplate Copies non-Microsoft templates from the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\) to $home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates. .EXAMPLE Copy-DbaXESessionTemplate -Path C:\temp\xetemplates Copies your templates from C:\temp\xetemplates to $home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [string[]]$Path = "$script:PSModuleRoot\bin\xetemplates", [string]$Destination = "$home\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Templates\XEventTemplates", [switch]$EnableException ) process { if (-not (Test-Path -Path $Destination)) { try { $null = New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $Destination -ErrorAction Stop } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $Destination } } try { $files = (Get-DbaXESessionTemplate -Path $Path | Where-Object Source -ne Microsoft).Path foreach ($file in $files) { Write-Message -Level Output -Message "Copying $($file.Name) to $Destination."
