Import-Module 'C:\Users\basantp\Documents\PNP Blog Section\Code\SharePointPnPPowerShell2013\SharePointPnP.PowerShell.2013.Commands.dll';

try {
        Set-PnPTraceLog -On -LogFile 'C:\Users\basantp\Documents\PNP Blog Section\Code\traceoutput.txt' -Level Error -Delimiter ","
        $Url1 = "<SiteURL>"
        $Url2 = "<SiteURL>"

        Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Url1 -CurrentCredentials -ErrorAction Stop
        Write-host "Site $Url1 connected".
        $Context1= Get-PnPContext

        #Get the list of $url1 
        # if you https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/blob/master/Documentation/SetPnPContext.md
         
        # if you simply write Get-PnPList, you will get the error as mentioned below
        # The collection has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not been executed. 
        # It may need to be explicitly requested.
        $list =Get-PnPList

        write-host  "Total number of list exist in this site $($list.Length)"

        Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Url2 -CurrentCredentials -ErrorAction Stop
        Write-host "Site $Url2 connected".

        #Get the list of $url2
        $Context2= Get-PnPContext 
        $list2 =Get-PnPList
        write-host  "Total number of list exist in this site $($list2.Length)" 
        
        Set-PnPContext -Context $Context1 # switch back to context1
        $items = Get-PnPListItem -List "User Information List"
        write-host  "Total number of Item exist in the user information list $($items.Length)"

        Set-PnPContext -Context $Context2 # switch back to context2
        $items2 = Get-PnPListItem -List "User Information List"
        write-host  "Total number of Item exist in the user information list $($items2.Length)"
        
}
catch {
    Write-Host "Site not found"
}

If you check the SetPnPContext link the example very confusing for me, and simple copy this and paste to the PowerShell the code not work for me.

I am getting the most general error

The collection has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not been executed. It may need to be explicitly requested.

. To fix this you just put the variable in the front if you get this type of issue any while working with pnp powershell cmdlets.
