<# .SYNOPSIS Get Virtual Entity from environment .DESCRIPTION Enables the user to query against the Virtual Entities from the D365FO environment This will help determine which Virtual Entities are already enabled / visible and their state, as they are seeing from the Dataverse environment .PARAMETER EnvironmentId The id of the environment that you want to work against .PARAMETER Name The name of the virtual entity that you are looking for The parameter supports wildcards, but will resolve them into a strategy that matches best practice from Microsoft documentation It means that you can only have a single search phrase. E.g. * -Name "*Retail" * -Name "Retail*" * -Name "*Retail*" Multiple search phrases are not going to produce an output, as it will be striped into an invalid search string. E.g. ! -Name "*Retail*Entity*" -> "RetailEntity" ! -Name "Retail*Entity" -> "RetailEntity" ! -Name "*Retail*Entity" -> "RetailEntity" ! -Name "Retail*Entity*" -> "RetailEntity" .PARAMETER VisibleOnly Instruct the cmdlet to only output those virtual entities that are enabled / visible .PARAMETER AsExcelOutput Instruct the cmdlet to output all details directly to an Excel file This makes it easier to deep dive into all the details returned from the API, and makes it possible for the user to persist the current state .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-BapEnvironmentVirtualEntity -EnvironmentId eec2c11a-a4c7-4e1d-b8ed-f62acc9c74c6 This will fetch all virtual entities from the environment.
