Get an OData Connection
Scenario/Problem: You need to create an OData Connection settings object for use in other cmdlets.
Solution: Use the Get-SPODataConnectionSetting cmdlet.
The Get-SPODataConnectionSetting cmdlet enables you to retrieve OData connection settings. Provide the name of the connection and service context to identity the specific connection. Use a variable to store the settings, as shown in Listing 15.10. You can then use the variable in other cmdlets (see the next section for an example).
