Get a Specific Service Application
Scenario/Problem: You need to obtain a specific service application reference.
Solution: Use the Get-SPServiceApplication cmdlet to assign a variable the results using the -Identity parameter.
Providing the identity of the service application with the Get-SPServiceApplication cmdlet retrieves a specific service application. Use this to assign the results to an object for use in other cmdlets, as shown in Listing 6.3.

Instead of using -Identity, you can use -Name and provide the name of the service application in quotes.
