Set-SPBusinessDataCatalogThrottleConfig : Cannot bind parameter 'Identity'

Question

If you are working with a larger external list (more than 2000 items) in dev environment it works perfectly, but when you work in production environment, it throws error "Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator. Correlation ID: ...........". So start to working to fix the BCS limit through powershell. When I enter below command in powershell I get error in cmd. Any idea?

At first glance there seems to be some issues in your PowerShell syntax. You specify another cmdlet as value for the -Identity parameter, and that won't work. Sharepoint is not really my expertise, but this article by lionelro on the msdn blogs looks like a good place to start. Especially since the start of the article describes your issue online appearing on the production environment. Hope it helps.
