Saving the Initialized SDK to Enviroment variables

[AniTexs]

Is there a reason why the Initialized sdk is not saved to enviroment so all modules can pull that instead of it needing to be passed to all cmdlets? :)

The best reason I can think about is for the readability of ones script if you have multiple environments.

If I have done what you suggested could there be scenarios where you had to run Initialize-CapaSDK multiple times to switch between the environments? Then it makes more sense to define if a cmdlet is to be run against ones production or development environment.

Example

$oCMSProd = Initialize-CapaSDK -Server $Settings.CapaServer -Database $Settings.Database -InstanceManagementPoint $Settings.InstanceManagementPointProd
$oCMSDev = Initialize-CapaSDK -Server $Settings.CapaServer -Database $Settings.Database -InstanceManagementPoint $Settings.InstanceManagementPointDev

# Remove-OldUnits is a custom function in my script that deletes old use units
Remove-OldUnits -CapaSDK $oCMSDev -Settings $Settings
Remove-OldUnits -CapaSDK $oCMSProd -Settings $Settings

Another option could also to save the latest initialized SDK to an ENV variables and all functions will use that if no CapaSDK is specificed?

Tænker du er dansker? Så vi kan også tage den på dansk ☺️

I think the way it is done now is still the the preferred way as CapaInstaller can be set up very complex and with more than a dev and prod environment.

So the modules should be as easy to use as possible, and I think your suggestions will make it more complex for one who is new to PowerShell to understand.

Roger :)
Så vil jeg ikke sætte mine forhåbninger op omkring det :)

Lyder godt 😊
Ellers siger du bare til hvis der er noget, min kollega og jeg er i hvert fald blevet glad for modulet og vi prøver at lave alt i PowerShell frem for VBscript.

Vil anbefale at du tager med til CUG næste gang, som planen er pt. skal jeg snakke om PowerShell i 1 times tid.

Har ikke været med de sidste par gange men det skal jeg huske og se om jeg kan sætte tid at til at komme med :)
