TL;DR
PSDataverse 2 is a public release candidate for PowerShell 7.6 and .NET 10, adding named Dataverse connections, bounded concurrency, retry-aware request handling, bulk operation support, structured failures, modern authentication, and migration commands for rows, metadata, imports, exports, actions, and functions.
Why it matters
- Makers: Test the release candidate against representative migration workloads because it requires PowerShell 7.6 or later and changes runtime compatibility.
- Admins/IT: Validate named source and target connections, authentication methods, and cross-environment isolation before adopting the new module.
- BI/Data teams: Benchmark individual requests, batch envelopes, and multiple-operation messages because the fastest transport varies by workload.
Frequently asked questions
What PowerShell version does PSDataverse 2 require?
PSDataverse 2 requires PowerShell 7.6 or later and targets .NET 10. PowerShell 5.1 and older PowerShell 7 releases cannot load it.
How does PSDataverse 2 prevent ambiguous write retries?
It carries cancellation and retry delays through requests, honors concurrency hints and Retry-After guidance, and avoids automatically replaying writes when the response is uncertain.
Which bulk operations does PSDataverse 2 support?
It supports CreateMultiple, UpdateMultiple, and UpsertMultiple, checks table capability, caches that result per connection, and reports failed chunks with source row ranges.
