Hi,

Was looking into how the business hours works in SLA.

For this we a created new SLA record on CreatedOn field and which will update one of the fields on warning after one minute and some other field on failure after waiting for 5 minute.

And Applicable When -> when the Title field of Case contains “mm” text in it.

 

Following was the schedule

We created case record that satisfies the above condition at 3:28 P.M.

It updated one field on warning after one minute and then on 3:30 it went into wait condition and then resumed at 3:40 and showed failure at 3:43 as expected (i.e. total 5 minutes).

So it did consider the Break specified and on resuming ran for the remaining 3 minutes.

Hope it helps..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi,

CreateMultiEntityAssociation method of CrmServiceclient can be used for associating 1 : n records i.e. if we have one contact record that we want to associate with multiple opportunity record ( 1-n) then we can use that method. This way we wont have to update each individual record.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.tooling.connector.crmserviceclient.createmultientityassociation.aspx

Sample Code

Uri organizationUri = new Uri("http://server/crmrog/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
Uri homeRealmUri = null;
ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials();
credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
OrganizationServiceProxy orgProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, null);

CrmServiceClient crmServiceClient = new CrmServiceClient(orgProxy);
List<Guid> lstOpportunityGuid = new List<Guid>();
lstOpportunityGuid.Add(new Guid("9DDCE989-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"));
lstOpportunityGuid.Add(new Guid("019E1598-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"));
lstOpportunityGuid.Add(new Guid("EA393A91-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"));
crmServiceClient.CreateMultiEntityAssociation("contact", new Guid("CF1FC3C0-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"), "opportunity", lstOpportunityGuid, "opportunity_customer_contacts");

Hope it helps ..

Hi,

We have tool called SOAPLogger (..\SDK\SampleCode\CS\Client\SOAPLogger\) that generates Soap request and response based on the C# code.

I have updated the tool to generate JavaScript that neatly wraps the Soap Request.

The output.txt and JavaScript code generated by the tool

Download the tool (convert .doc to .zip format)

Hi,

Just sharing a sample code to test a custom workflow activity using Microsoft Fakes.

The custom workflow activity uses LINQ.

The custom workflow activity code

public sealed class MyCustomWorkflowActivity : CodeActivity
{
#region Public Properties

[Input("Stage Name")]
public InArgument<string> StageName { get; set; }

#endregion

#region Methods

/// <summary>
/// Executes the workflow activity.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="executionContext">
/// The execution context.
/// </param>
protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext executionContext)
{
// Create the tracing service
var tracingService = executionContext.GetExtension<ITracingService>();

// Create the context
var context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();

var serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();

IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

try
{
using (var xrmServiceContext = new XrmServiceContext(service))
{
// get the business process workflow id
var workflow = (from w in xrmServiceContext.WorkflowSet
where w.Name == "Business Process Workflow Name"
select new Workflow { WorkflowId = w.WorkflowId }).FirstOrDefault();

if (workflow != null)
{
// get the stage name from the context's input parameter
var stageName = this.StageName.Get<string>(executionContext);
var stage = (from s in xrmServiceContext.ProcessStageSet
where s.StageName == stageName && s.ProcessId.Id == workflow.WorkflowId
select new ProcessStage { ProcessStageId = s.ProcessStageId }).FirstOrDefault();

if (stage != null)
{
// update the sales state in the case record to which the above business process flow is associated
var incident = new Incident
{
Id = context.PrimaryEntityId,
StageId = stage.ProcessStageId
};
service.Update(incident);
}
}
}
}
catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> e)
{
tracingService.Trace("Exception: {0}", e.ToString());
throw;
}

}

Unit Test Code

public void UnitTestCustomWorkflowActivity()
{

var workflowUserId = Guid.NewGuid();
var workflowCorrelationId = Guid.NewGuid();
var workflowInitiatingUserId = Guid.NewGuid();

var service = new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Fakes.StubIOrganizationService();

var workflowContext = new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Workflow.Fakes.StubIWorkflowContext();
workflowContext.UserIdGet = () =>
{
return workflowUserId;
};
workflowContext.CorrelationIdGet = () =>
{
return workflowCorrelationId;
};
workflowContext.InitiatingUserIdGet = () =>
{
return workflowInitiatingUserId;
};

// ITracingService
var tracingService = new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Fakes.StubITracingService();
tracingService.TraceStringObjectArray = (f, o) =>
{
Debug.WriteLine(f, o);
};

// IOrganizationServiceFactory
var factory = new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Fakes.StubIOrganizationServiceFactory();
factory.CreateOrganizationServiceNullableOfGuid = id =>
{
return service;
};

SetBpfStage target = new SetBpfStage();

var wfEntity = new Workflow();
wfEntity.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
wfEntity["name"] = "abcabcabc";
var wfEntity1 = new Workflow();
wfEntity1.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
wfEntity1["name"] = "abcabcabc";

var processStageEntity = new ProcessStage();
processStageEntity.Id = Guid.NewGuid();
processStageEntity["name"] = "abcabcabc";
service.ExecuteOrganizationRequest = r =>
{
RetrieveMultipleResponse response = null;
if (((Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.QueryExpression)((RetrieveMultipleRequest)r).Query).EntityName
== "workflow")
{
List<Entity> entities = new List<Entity> { wfEntity };

response = new RetrieveMultipleResponse
{
Results =
new ParameterCollection
{
{
"EntityCollection",
new EntityCollection
(entities)
}
}
};

return response;
}

if (((Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.QueryExpression)((RetrieveMultipleRequest)r).Query).EntityName
== "processstage")
{

List<Entity> entities = new List<Entity> { processStageEntity };

response = new RetrieveMultipleResponse
{
Results =
new ParameterCollection
{
{
"EntityCollection",
new EntityCollection
(entities)
}
}
};

return response;
}

return response;
};

service.UpdateEntity = (p) =>
{
};

var invoker = new WorkflowInvoker(target);
invoker.Extensions.Add<ITracingService>(() => tracingService);
invoker.Extensions.Add<IWorkflowContext>(() => workflowContext);
invoker.Extensions.Add<IOrganizationServiceFactory>(() => factory);

var inputs = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{ "StageName", "New" }
};

invoker.Invoke(inputs);
}

Hope it helps..
