Commandlets

All Commandlets are supporting OData Version v1, v2, v3, v4.

The cmdlets try to perform as less server requests as possible, in order to ensure high performance when communicating over the network or the internet.

Metadata

Requests to retrieve the service $metadata will be retrieved only when required and only for the required services.
When services are not available, powerGate will try to retrieve there metadata as long as they become available! Warnings will be logged in order to inform about the downtime of the service.

After retrieving metadata once, no further metadata request is required as the server results are cached by the product.

Performance

When some of the services are permanently not available, you can speed up your process by disconnecting them.
Please see example Disconnect all not available services.
