Required Parameters

-SqlInstance

The SQL Server instance(s) for the publication.

-Database

The publication database to apply the article configuration to be replicated.

-Publication

The name of the publication.

-Name

The name of the object to add as an article.

Optional Parameters

-SqlCredential

Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

-Schema

Schema where the article to be added is found.
Default is dbo.

-Filter

Sets the where clause used to filter the article horizontally, e.g., DiscontinuedDate IS NULL
E.g. City = 'Seattle'

-CreationScriptOptions

Options for the creation script.
Use New-DbaReplCreationScriptOptions to create this object.

-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

If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.

-Confirm

If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
