Connecting to Sage 300

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Sage 300 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 300 provides a familiar way to interact with Sage 300 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 300 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-Sage300 cmdlet. You can then pass the Sage300Connection object returned to other cmdlets for accessing data:

• Select-Sage300

Executing SQL from PowerShell

You can execute any SQL query with the Invoke-Sage300 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 300 Version Support

The cmdlet leverages the Sage 300 API to enable read-only access to Sage 300.
