-PagerAddress

The pager email address the SQL Agent will use to send alerts to the oeprator.

-PagerDay

Defines what days the pager portion of the operator will be used. The default is 'Everyday'. Valid parameters

'Saturday'.

-SaturdayStartTime

This a string that takes the Saturday Pager Start Time.

If this switch is enabled, this operator will be your failsafe operator and replace the one that existed before.

-FailsafeNotificationMethod

The default is NotifyEmail.

-Force

If this switch is enabled, the Operator will be dropped and recreated on instance.

-InputObject

-EnableException

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.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
