NAME Get-DbaDump
SYNOPSIS
Locate a SQL Server that has generated any memory dump files.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaDump [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The type of dump included in the search include minidump, all-thread dump, or a full dump. The files have an
extendion of .mdmp.
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.
