NAME Enable-DbaTraceFlag
SYNOPSIS
Enable Global Trace Flag(s)
SYNTAX
Enable-DbaTraceFlag [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [-TraceFlag] <System.Int32[]> [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The function will set one or multiple trace flags on the SQL Server instance(s) listed
PARAMETERS
-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.

-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]

Integrated are all supported.
