I would like to automatically deactivate and activate processes on Dynamics CRM so I can upload data in between. Processes include updating information and setting one field to be another when it is inputted by user.
Is it possible to do this through the API? The documentation I saw online was mainly about querying from CRM
Reading documentation, looking on forums
use PATCH operation
workflows table holds your Dynamics 365 workflows and actions and you need to find GUID of your particualr process
https://abc.crm.dynamics.com//api/data/v9.2/workflows(c92dca98-8a13-44b9-bd13-02da90c8a38d)
body as below
{
"statecode": 1,//state
"statuscode": 2 // status
}
just tested this on Postman.
below jquery code snippet
var record = {};
record.statecode = 1; // State
record.statuscode = 2; // Status
$.ajax({
type: "PATCH",
url: Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.2/workflows(c92dca98-8a13-44b9-bd13-02da90c8a38d)",
async: true,
headers: {
"OData-MaxVersion": "4.0",
"OData-Version": "4.0",
"Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
"Accept": "application/json",
"Prefer": "odata.include-annotations=*"
},
data: JSON.stringify(record),
success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
console.log("Record updated");
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(xhr);
}
});

I am making a POST ajax request to a SharePoint Document Library folder to save a file along with some metadata. The file and the metadata are saved correctly however, the metadata are sometimes(not all the time) replicated inside the document library(where I place folder not files). Why does this happen? How can I prevent this from happening? Here is a code snippet of the ajax call:
var result = $.ajax(
{
url: siteUrl.concat("/lists/getbytitle('")
.concat("Document Library Name")
.concat("')/RootFolder/folders('")
.concat("Folder Name")
.concat("')/files/add(url = '").concat(fileName).concat("', overwrite = true)"),
type: "POST",
data: arrayBuffer,
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val()
},
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
processData: false,
success: function (data) {
},
error: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
async: false
});
i have a php API server with below setting :
and i try to consume the API server by below ajax:
$.ajaxSetup({
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
//contentType: "text/plain",
dataType: "json",
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Basic " + oAuthKey);
},
complete: function (xhr, status) {
//
}});
request = $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.example.com/testAPI/users/10004",
async: false,
});
request.done(function (response, textStatus, jqXHR) {
var msg = textStatus;
});
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
var msg = errorThrown;
});
when i watch the activity in Fiddler, the request is using http options instead of http get. i know this is because i am setting xhr.setRequestHeader cause preflight request. Due to the API server required authentication, i have no choice and need to set the customer header.
when i try to run above request inside Fiddler, it manage to return correct json data. But when i run the above java script in my phone gap app, it return error.
*** In fiddler, it will auto use http get, so that is why no error. In my app, it keep using http options.
I have the following code which I wish to use for inserting a record into an entity of an ODATA service.
The post request throws a XMLHttpRequest cannot load Invalid HTTP status code 501.
Apparently GET request works fine. Can anyone suggest a way to find out the problem ? Does my WCF Service has a problem ?
var data = { application_id: 777 , user_id: 'test' };
var data = JSON.stringify(data);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
datatype: 'json',
url: oDataURL + 'application_admins',
data: data,
beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
},
success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {
account = data.d;
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
}
});
I have mobile services configured on my Azure database and I am trying to send a POST request to update the data. The service keeps returning a bad request and I fear its because of the format of my JQuery.Ajax request. I have tried a number combinations but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. The schema of the request can be found here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj677200.aspx), any help would be appreciated.
function RegisterPatient(){
var wsUrl = "https://vervemobile.azure-mobile.net/tables/ref_*****";
var data = {"YearOfBirth":1970,"Sex":"M","ControlGroupMember":false,"OrganisationID":null,"Type":null}
$.ajax({
url:wsUrl,
type: "POST",
data:data,
beforeSend: function (request)
{
request.setRequestHeader("X-ZUMO-APPLICATION", "******");
request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
},
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
alert(JSON.stringify(jqXHR));
console.log(JSON.stringify(jqXHR));
console.log(JSON.stringify(textStatus));
console.log(JSON.stringify(errorThrown));
}
});
}
Thanks in Advance,

The request requires a json body to be sent, so you have to stringify your data.
...
$.ajax({
url:wsUrl,
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(data),

What are my mistakes, why do I get the "object expected" error, and, eventually, how does one debug jScript ?
I am new to Dynamics CRM and I would like to do a small customisation, which seem to require jScript. The instance (version 2011) is used mostly to manage client support.
There are 2 custom entities with relationships: FundLegalEntity --> SubFund
The Case (Incident) form is linked to the FundLegalEntity and the SubFund.
When user enters a SubFund I would like to have the FundLegalEntity filled automatically (if empty).
My question was: how do I code that ?
With the help of this great tutorial, and the very usefull oData Tool, and great help (below) from user #dub, here is my latest code:
function recalcParent()
{
var lookupValue = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_subfundid").getValue();
var subFundId= lookupValue[0].id;
// alert(subFundId);
var request = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() +
"/xrmServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/new_subfundSet?" +
"$select=new_LegalEntityId&" +
"$filter=new_subfundId eq guid'"+ subFundId+ "'";
// alert(request);
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datatype: "json",
url: request,
async: false,
beforeSend:
function (XMLHttpRequest)
{
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
},
success:
function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest)
{
var result = data.d.results[0];
alert(result);
var parentFundLookup = [{ entityType : "new_fund", id : result.LegalEntityId, name : result.FundLegalEntity}];
// Set the value of the parent fund lookup
},
error:
function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
alert('Failed');
}
});
}
I have no more errors, the first 2 alerts (commente out) are giving me correct results.
THe 3rd alert displays "object Object", and the control I expect to update is not updated.
Any hint please ? I suppose the last problem is in the var parentFundLookup = line...
I am a bit confused by all these different names.
Thanks !
Edit:
It's nearly working now: when I modify the sub-fund in the Incident, the Legal Entity gets updated with the correct legal entity name, but the text box has a strange aspect, and the icon at the left of the text box is strange as well. Here is the latest bit of code:
success:
function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest)
{
var result = data.d.results[0];
//alert(result.new_LegalEntityId.Name);
var parentFundLookup = [{ entityType : "new_LegalEntity", id : result.new_LegalEntityId.Id, name : result.new_LegalEntityId.Name}];
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_fundlegalentityid").setValue(parentFundLookup);
},
I suspect that the problem lies in the entityType : "new_LegalEntity", but I don't know what to put in there. Any clue on this ? What does that represent ?
Here is a screenshot of the Legal Entity after the Sub-Fund is updated and the script has run.
You can use the Rest endpoint from your script to retrieve data from the organization service. Here's an example to get you started. You can also look at the SDK documentation there's a lot of useful information there.
var subfundid; // get the id from the lookup
var request =
Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() +
"/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/new_subfundSet?" +
"$select=ParentId&" +
"$top=1&" +
"$filter=new_subfundId eq guid'"+ subfundid + "'";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datatype: "json",
url: request,
async: false,
beforeSend:
function (XMLHttpRequest)
{
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
},
success:
function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest)
{
var result = data.d.results[0];
var parentFundLookup = [{ entityType : "new_fund", id : result.ParentId, name : result.FundName}];
// Set the value of the parent fund lookup
},
error:
function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
alert('Failed');
}
});
Since this code uses JQuery, you'll need to add the JQuery library as a web resource and include it in your form. See CRM 2011 "$ is undefined"
