Hi,

Below are the Jscript functions to retrieve multiple records using OData & JQuery.

function retrieveMultiple(odataSetName, select, filter, successCallback) {

var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();

var ODATA_ENDPOINT = “/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc”;

var odataUri = serverUrl + ODATA_ENDPOINT + “/” + odataSetName + “?”;

if (select) {

odataUri += “$select=” + select + “&”;

}

if (filter) {

odataUri += “$filter=” + filter;

}

//Asynchronous AJAX function to Retrieve CRM records using OData

$.ajax({

type: “GET”,

contentType: “application/json; charset=utf-8”,

datatype: “json”,

url: odataUri,

beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {

//Specifying this header ensures that the results will be returned as JSON.

XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application/json”);

},

success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {

if (successCallback) {

if (data && data.d && data.d.results) {

successCallback(data.d.results, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest);

}

else if (data && data.d) {

successCallback(data.d, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest);

}

else {

successCallback(data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest);

}

}

},

error: function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {

if (XmlHttpRequest && XmlHttpRequest.responseText) {

alert(“Error while retrieval ; Error – ” + XmlHttpRequest.responseText);

}

}

});

}

function readRecordsOnSuccess(data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {

// Loop through the retrieved records

for (var indx = 0; indx < data.length; indx++) {

alert(“Name – ” + data[indx].name);

}

}

Copy & Paste above methods to a new .jscript file
Replace double quotes(“) symbols with your keyboard double quotes
Add the new .jscript file as web resource to CRM application
Add “Jquery” & json” helper classes as web resources

How do I call this method :-

In my sample below, I will show you how to read “Contacts” for an “Account”

function retrieveContactsByAccountId() {

// Pass ‘Contact’ set name since we are reading Contacts

var oDataSetName = “ContactSet”;

// Column names of ‘Contact’ (Pass * to read all columns)

var columns = “FirstName,LastName”;

// Read Account Guid

var accountId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId()

// Prepare filter

var filter = “AccountId/Id eq guid’” + accountId + “‘”;

retrieveMultiple(oDataSetName, columns, filter, readRecordsOnSuccess);

}

Note :- Import “ODataQueryDesigner” solution to prepare the Filters easily.

Hope it helps 🙂

  Hi,
  You can prepare $filter with multiple account id’s by using OR condition and prepare OData URL as below
  
  http://localhost/MyOrgName/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/AccountSet?$filter=AccountId eq guid'{Guid1}’ or AccountId eq guid'{Guid2}’ or AccountId eq guid'{Guid1}’

Rajeev,

I’m creating an script to e-mail form entity. I need to retrieve on the field “FROM” the QUEUE based on the field “TO”.

So when i fill the field TO, the script retrieve the contact and auto-complete the field “FROM” with the right Queue. To find the queue in C# i used the queries below: (How can i get in jscript exactly the same result ? Could you help me?)

Contact resultContact = new Contact();

query = new QueryByAttribute(Contact.EntityLogicalName);
query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(“firstname”, “contactid”);
query.AddAttributeValue(“emailaddress1”, email.Sender);
var retrieved = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);

resultContact = retrieved.Entities[0].ToEntity();

var queryRecuperaConta = new QueryByAttribute(ava_account_contact.EntityLogicalName);
queryRecuperaConta.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(“contactid”, “accountid”);
queryRecuperaConta.AddAttributeValue(“contactid”, resultContact.ContactId);
var resultconta = service.RetrieveMultiple(queryRecuperaConta).Entities[0]. ToEntity();

var queryRecuperaConta2 = new QueryByAttribute(Account.EntityLogicalName);
queryRecuperaConta2.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(“ava_filaid”, “name”, “accountid”);
queryRecuperaConta2.AddAttributeValue(“accoutid”, resultconta.accountid);
var conta = service.RetrieveMultiple(queryRecuperaConta2).Entities[0].ToEntity();

var queryRecuperaFila = new QueryByAttribute(Queue.EntityLogicalName);
queryRecuperaFila.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet { AllColumns = true };
queryRecuperaFila.AddAttributeValue(“queueid”, conta.ava_filaid);
var resultFila = service.RetrieveMultiple(queryRecuperaConta2).Entities[0].ToEntity();

var queryTeam = new QueryByAttribute(Team.EntityLogicalName);
queryTeam.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet { AllColumns = true };
queryTeam.AddAttributeValue(“teamid”, resultFila.OwnerId);
queryTeam.AddAttributeValue(“queueid”, resultFila.QueueId);
var resultTeam = service.RetrieveMultiple(queryTeam).Entities[0].ToEntity();

var FilaPrincipal = resultTeam.QueueId.Name;

Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“from”).setValue(resultQueue.name);
