DESCRIPTION

Exports replication server settings to file.





PARAMETERS

-Append [<Switch>]

Append to file



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.

Specifies the file encoding. The default is UTF8.



Valid values are:

-- String: Uses the encoding type for a string.

-- Unicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the little-endian byte order.
