Dynamics CE – Issue while updating ‘Annotation’ record using SDK

August 3, 2019 Leave a comment

Other day, we encountered following error in our plug-in, which has the logic to retrieve and update the ‘objectid’ field (i.e., Associated record) of Annotation record.

‘new_myentity’ with ID XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX does not exists

Below is the plug-in code:

var entAnnotation=new Entity(“annotation”);
entAnnotation.Attributes[“objectid”] = new EntityReference(“new_myentity”,”{GUID}”);
crmService.Update(entAnnotation);

We are trying to update ‘objectid’ and from the error, its clear that Object ID (i.e.,GUID) of the ‘new_myentity’ entity does not exists in the application.

But we know that the GUID is of a valid ‘new_myentity’ entity, as that was retrieved using ‘Query Expression’ in previous plug-in statement.

Reason and Fix:

  • We must also set ‘objecttypecode’ field as the schema name of the ‘objectid’ of the Annotation record.
  • In our case, its ‘new_myentity’.
  • Below is the code of Annotation update setting ‘objecttypecode’ field.

var entAnnotation=new Entity(“annotation”);
entAnnotation.Attributes[“objectid”] = new EntityReference(“new_myentity“,”{GUID}”);
entAnnotation.Attributes[“objecttypecode”] = “new_myentity“;
crmService.Update(entAnnotation);

Issue was annoying and took sometime to troubleshoot and find the actual reason.

Hi,

In CRM, we can add files as attachments to the Notes.

Notes with attachment

Notes with attachment

  • All the notes get saved in to “Annotation” entity in the data base.
  • The attachment information get saved in to below columns of “Annotation” entity
    • Document Body
    • File Name
    • File Size
    • Is Document
Notes with attachments - Data base columns

Notes with attachments – Data base columns

Deleting attachments using  script:-

To delete the attachment using jscript,

  • Update the “Document Body,File Name,File Size” fields to null
  • And “IsDocument = false” using OData as below

function deleteAttachments(){

var notesId = {GUID of notes};

var objNotes = new Object();

objNotes.DocumentBody = null;

objNotes.FileName = null;

objNotes.FileSize = null;

objNotes.IsDocument = false;

updateRecord(notesId, objNotes, “AnnotationSet”);

}

function updateRecord(id, entityObject, odataSetName) {

var jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(entityObject);

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

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

var updateRecordReq = new XMLHttpRequest();

var ODataPath = serverUrl + ODATA_ENDPOINT;

updateRecordReq.open(‘POST’, ODataPath + “/” + odataSetName + “(guid'” + id + “‘)”, false);

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

updateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “application/json; charset=utf-8”);

updateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“X-HTTP-Method”, “MERGE”);

updateRecordReq.send(jsonEntity);

}

🙂

Adding “Notes” to the “Quote” progrmatically in CRM 2011

July 24, 2011 3 comments

//Instantiate ‘Entity’ and set the ‘LogicalName’ to “annotation”

Entity objNotes = new Entity();
objNotes.LogicalName = “annotation”;

//Set ‘Subject’ and ‘notetext (i.e.,Body)’ properties
objNotes.Attributes.Add(“subject”, ”—-Your Subject—”);
objNotes.Attributes.Add(“notetext”, “—Your notes text—”);

//Relate the note with ‘Quote’ using ‘EntityReference’

EntityReference refQuote = new EntityReference();
refQuote.LogicalName = “quote”;
refQuote.Id = quoteID;  //Quote GUID
objNotes.Attributes.Add(“objectid”, refQuote);

//Set “objecttypecode” property with “quote” objecttypecode (i.e.,1084)

//Refer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms955729.aspx for objecttypecode’s
objNotes.Attributes.Add(“objecttypecode”, 1084);

//Call CRMService ‘Create’ method

crmService.Create(objNotes);
