The connection object is cached on a per Prefix basis. .DESCRIPTION The function takes a credential object and uses it to authenticate and connect to the Autotask Web Services API. This is done by creating a webservices proxy. The proxy object imports the SOAP WSDL definition file, creates all entity classes in PowerShell and exposes the basic methods (query(), create(), update(), remove(), GetEntityInfo(), GetFieldInfo() and a few more). Using private functions this module continues to import information about entities and which fields each entity has. It uses this information to create and import a dynamic module pr Prefix. Each module contains a complete set of PowerShell functions pr enntity. All entities gets a Get-PrefixEntity function. Any updateable entities gets a Set-PrefixEntity function. All creatable entities gets a New-PrefixEntity function and all deletable objects gets a Remove-PrefixEntity function. The per Prefix structure is important. It allows you to connect to Autotask with two or more different user accounts from two or more different Autotask tenants. This will allow you to automate between tenants. You can import and export data between tenants, transfer tickets, updates tickets in tenant2 from tickets in tenant1 and so on. .INPUTS A PSCredential object. Required. It will prompt for credentials if the object is not provided. .OUTPUTS A webserviceproxy object is created. .EXAMPLE Connect-AutotaskWebAPI Prompts for a username and password and authenticates to Autotask .EXAMPLE Connect-AutotaskWebAPI .NOTES NAME: Connect-AutotaskWebAPI .LINK Get-AtwsData #> [cmdletbinding()] Param ( [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [pscredential] $Credential = $(Get-Credential -Message 'Autotask Web Services API login'), [Switch] $NoDynamicModule = $False, [ValidatePattern('[a-zA-Z0-9]')] [ValidateLength(1,8)] [String] $Prefix = 'Atws', [Switch] $NoDiskCache, [Switch] $RefreshCache, [Switch] $Silent = $false ) Begin { Write-Verbose ('{0}: Begin of function' -F $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name) $DefaultUri = 'https://webservices.Autotask.net/atservices/1.5/atws.wsdl' If (-not($global:AtwsConnection)) { $global:AtwsConnection = @{} } # Unless warning level is specified explicitly - Show warnings!
