NAME Copy-DbaDataCollector
SYNOPSIS
Migrates user SQL Data Collector collection sets. SQL Data Collector configuration is on the agenda, but it's hard.
SYNTAX
Copy-DbaDataCollector [-Source] <DbaInstanceParameter> [[-SourceSqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-Destination]
<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-DestinationSqlCredential] <Pscredential>]
[[-CollectionSet] <System.Object[]>] [[-ExcludeCollectionSet] <System.Object[]>] [-NoServerReconfig <Switch>]
[-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
By default, all data collector objects are migrated. If the object already exists on the destination, it will be
skipped unless -Force is used.
The -CollectionSet parameter is auto-populated for command-line completion and can be used to copy only specific
objects.
PARAMETERS
-CollectionSet [<System.Object[]>]
The collection set(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all collection
sets will be processed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Destination [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
Destination Sql Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or
higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DestinationSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeCollectionSet [<System.Object[]>]
The collection set(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<Switch>]
If collection sets exists on destination server, it will be dropped and recreated.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NoServerReconfig [<Switch>]
Upcoming parameter to enable server reconfiguration
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Source [<DbaInstanceParameter>]
Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SourceSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
