I have a fech. 
  
    
    
    
    
    
  



I want to get all accounts. 

A link-entity is a virtual entity for working with SharePoint via API

But the request goes into the Retrieve Multiple plugin and crashes there.
Perhaps the plugin needs to return a collection of virtual entities. 

But link-type = "outer".

I tried to return an empty context.OutputParameters["BusinessEntityCollection"
from the plugin, but its throw exeption.

    Hello, Esteban

    When I did this fetch my plugin was triggered. He get the query 

    In this scenario, I have nothing to return from the plugin. I return empty collection

    because "pcrm_sharepointimportapi" is a virtual entity that works via API with SharePoint. It doesn't store all of its entities in CRM.

    If a guide of a specific file or account comes to the plugin, then the plugin returns virtual entities of the file or all files of a specific account.

    var ec = new EntityCollection();

context.OutputParameters["BusinessEntityCollection"] = ec;

    I expect to receive all accounts. From the main request (which I showed in the starter post) bud i get this message
