NAME Get-DbaOpenTransaction



SYNOPSIS

Displays all open transactions.





SYNTAX

Get-DbaOpenTransaction [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

This command is based on open transaction script published by Paul Randal.



Reference: https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/sc ... and-plans/





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.
