Connecting to Sage 50 UK

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Sage 50 UK and configure any necessary connection properties. You can also configure cmdlet capabilities through the available Connection properties, from data modeling to firewall traversal. The Advanced Settings section shows how to set up more advanced configurations and troubleshoot connection errors.

Connecting from PowerShell

The CData Cmdlets PowerShell Module for Sage 50 UK provides a familiar way to interact with Sage 50 UK from PowerShell. The cmdlets provide a standard PowerShell interface and an SQL interface to live data. The CData cmdlets enable you to work with Sage 50 UK using standard PowerShell objects; you can chain the cmdlets to each other or other cmdlets in pipelines. The cmdlets also support PowerShell debug streams.

Data Manipulation with Cmdlets

See Establishing a Connection to learn how to get started with the Connect-Sage50UK cmdlet. You can then pass the Sage50UKConnection object returned to other cmdlets for accessing data:

• Select-Sage50UK
• Add-Sage50UK
• Update-Sage50UK
• Remove-Sage50UK

Executing SQL from PowerShell

You can execute any SQL query with the Invoke-Sage50UK cmdlet.

Accessing Debug Output from Streams

See Capturing Errors and Logging to obtain the debug output through PowerShell streams.

PowerShell Version Support

The standard cmdlets are supported in PowerShell 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Sage 50 UK Version Support

The cmdlet models data in Sage 50 UK 2012 and above as relational tables. Note that for v28 and later, you must install the Sdata adapter prior to using Sage 50 UK driver. See the Sage 50 UK documentation for more information.
