function Export-DbaRepServerSetting { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports replication server settings to file. .DESCRIPTION Exports replication server settings to file. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Path Specifies the directory where the file or files will be exported. .PARAMETER FilePath Specifies the full file path of the output file. .PARAMETER Passthru Output script to console .PARAMETER NoClobber Do not overwrite file .PARAMETER Encoding Specifies the file encoding. The default is UTF8. Valid values are: -- ASCII: Uses the encoding for the ASCII (7-bit) character set. -- BigEndianUnicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the big-endian byte order. -- Byte: Encodes a set of characters into a sequence of bytes. -- String: Uses the encoding type for a string. -- Unicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the little-endian byte order. -- UTF7: Encodes in UTF-7 format. -- UTF8: Encodes in UTF-8 format. -- Unknown: The encoding type is unknown or invalid. The data can be treated as binary. .PARAMETER Append Append to file .PARAMETER ScriptOption Not real sure how to use this yet .PARAMETER InputObject Allows piping from Get-DbaRepServer .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: Replication Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaRepServerSetting -SqlInstance sql2017 -Path C:\temp\replication.sql Exports the replication settings on sql2017 to the file C:\temp\replication.sql .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaRepServer -SqlInstance sql2017 | Export-DbaRepServerSettings -Path C:\temp\replication.sql Exports the replication settings on sql2017 to the file C:\temp\replication.sql #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [string]$Path = (Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -FullName 'Path.DbatoolsExport'), [Alias("OutFile", "FileName")] [string]$FilePath, [object[]]$ScriptOption, [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ReplicationServer[]]$InputObject, [ValidateSet('ASCII', 'BigEndianUnicode', 'Byte', 'String', 'Unicode', 'UTF7', 'UTF8', 'Unknown')] [string]$Encoding = 'UTF8', [switch]$Passthru, [switch]$NoClobber, [switch]$Append, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $null = Test-ExportDirectory -Path $Path } process { if (Test-FunctionInterrupt) { return } foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { $InputObject += Get-DbaRepServer -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } foreach ($repserver in $InputObject) { $FilePath = Get-ExportFilePath -Path $PSBoundParameters.Path -FilePath $PSBoundParameters.FilePath -Type sql -ServerName $repserver.SqlServerName try { if (-not $ScriptOption) { $out = $repserver.Script([Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ScriptOptions]::Creation ` -bor [Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ScriptOptions]::IncludeAll ` -bor [Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ScriptOptions]::EnableReplicationDB ` -bor [Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ScriptOptions]::IncludeInstallDistributor ) } else { $out = $repserver.Script($scriptOption) } } catch { Stop-Function -ErrorRecord $_ -Message "Replication export failed.
