function Test-DbaRepLatency { <# .SYNOPSIS Displays replication latency for all transactional publications for a server or database. .DESCRIPTION Creates tracer tokens to determine latency between the publisher/distributor and the distributor/subscriber for all transactional publications for a server, database, or publication. .PARAMETER SqlInstance Allows you to specify a comma separated list of servers to query. .PARAMETER Database The database(s) to process. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER PublicationName The publiction(s) to process. If unspecified, all publications will be processed. .PARAMETER TimeToLive How long, in seconds, to wait for a tracer token to complete its journey from the publisher to the subscriber. If unspecified, all tracer tokens will take as long as they need to process results. .PARAMETER RetainToken Retains the tracer tokens created for each publication. If unspecified, all tracer tokens created will be discarded. .PARAMETER DisplayTokenHistory Displays all tracer tokens in each publication. If unspecified, the current tracer token created will be only token displayed. .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 Author: Colin Douglas Tags: Replication Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Test-DbaRepLatency .EXAMPLE Test-DbaRepLatency -SqlInstance sql2008, sqlserver2012 Return replication latency for all transactional publications for servers sql2008 and sqlserver2012. .EXAMPLE Test-DbaRepLatency -SqlInstance sql2008 -Database TestDB Return replication latency for all transactional publications on server sql2008 for only the TestDB database .EXAMPLE Test-DbaRepLatency -SqlInstance sql2008 -Database TestDB -PublicationName TestDB_Pub Return replication latency for the TestDB_Pub publication for the TestDB database located on the server sql2008. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]] $SqlInstance, #Publisher [object[]]$Database, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$PublicationName, [int]$TimeToLive, [switch]$RetainToken, [switch]$DisplayTokenHistory, [switch]$EnableException ) process{ foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance" # Connect to the publisher try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 9 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $publicationNames = Get-DbaRepPublication -SqlInstance $server -Database $Database -SqlCredential $SqlCredentials -PublicationType "Transactional" if($PublicationName) { $publicationNames = $publicationNames | Where-Object PublicationName -in $PublicationName } foreach($publication in $publicationNames) { # Create an instance of TransPublication $transPub = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.TransPublication $transPub.Name = $publication.PublicationName $transPub.DatabaseName = $publication.Database # Set the Name and DatabaseName properties for the publication, and set the ConnectionContext property to the connection created in step 1. $transPub.ConnectionContext = $server.ConnectionContext.SqlConnectionObject # Call the LoadProperties method to get the properties of the object.
