Retrieves detailed information about replication articles from SQL Server publications.

This function examines all accessible databases on the specified instances and returns article properties including name, type, schema, source objects, and partitioning details. Use this when troubleshooting replication issues, documenting replication setup, or verifying which objects are being replicated across your environment.

Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Specifies which databases to examine for replication articles. Only articles from publications in these databases will be returned.
Use this when you need to focus on replication articles within specific databases rather than scanning all databases on the instance.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Filters results to articles within specific replication publications. Only articles from these named publications will be returned.
Use this when troubleshooting a specific publication or when you need to audit articles within particular publications rather than all publications in the database.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Filters articles by the schema of their source objects (tables, views, or procedures). Only articles whose source objects belong to these schemas will be returned.
Use this when you need to examine replication articles for objects within specific schemas, such as when troubleshooting schema-specific replication issues.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
Filters results to articles with specific names. Only articles matching these exact names will be returned.
Use this when you need to examine specific replication articles by name, such as when troubleshooting issues with particular replicated objects.
Alias | |
Required | False |
Pipeline | false |
Default Value |
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.
