“getRequiredLevel is not a function” error while creating a new contact record in Dynamics 365.


We were getting the strange getRequiredLevel is not a function error while creating a new record (in New Form Rendering)

After debugging, we figured out that it was failing for the following field “mapcontrollink”.

We commented out the entire section and imported it back (unsupported). This fixed the issue.

Strangely enough we couldn’t find that field in the Vanilla version, in our case it is the upgraded environment so that could be reason of having that extra field.

Hope it helps..

Sample Code to consume UNData API using JavaScript


Sharing a sample code that can be used to consume UNData API

http://data.un.org/Host.aspx?Content=API

The below code fetches the population data for country India.

Sample Code


var xmlHttp;
// creatng the xmlHttp object
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
// Calling the web service using post and true means asynchronous call
xmlHttp.open("POST", "http://data.un.org/WS/NSIEstatV20Service.asmx", false);

// Setting the request header to let the web service find the soap request we would be sending
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/sri/service/2.0/extended/GetCompactData");

var soapRequest = "<!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="" data-mce-bogus="1"-->xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>"+
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>"+

xmlHttp.send(soapRequest);
var xmlDoc = jQuery.parseXML(xmlHttp.responseText);
var popValue = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('ns1:Obs')['0'].attributes['OBS_VALUE'].nodeValue;
alert("Total Population " + popValue);

Sample code to consume UNData API in C#


Hi,

Recently we were working on an application that had to fetch country specific details. For this we used the UNData API.

http://data.un.org/Host.aspx?Content=API

We can make use of SDMX Browser in helping us to write a query

http://data.un.org/SdmxBrowser/start

Create a console app\windows application and add web reference to the following web service

http://data.un.org/WS/NSIEstatV20Service.asmx

Below is the sample C# Code


string queryMsg = @"<message:QueryMessage
xsi:schemaLocation='http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/sri/service/2.0/SDMXMessage.xsd
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/sri/service/2.0/%20SDMXMessage.xsd'
xmlns:generic='http://www.SDMX.org/resources/SDMXML/schemas/v2_0/generic'
xmlns:message='http://www.SDMX.org/resources/SDMXML/schemas/v2_0/message'
xmlns:query='http://www.SDMX.org/resources/SDMXML/schemas/v2_0/query'
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>
<message:Header>
<message:ID>onh14833545733929527</message:ID>
<message:Test>false</message:Test>
<message:Prepared>2017-01-01</message:Prepared>
<message:Sender id='online-help'/>
</message:Header>
<message:Query>
<query:DataWhere>
<query:And>
<query:Dimension id='INDICATOR'>SP_POP_TOTL</query:Dimension>
<query:Dimension id='AGE'>_T</query:Dimension>
<query:Dimension id='SEX'>_T</query:Dimension>
<query:Dimension id='LOCATION'>_T</query:Dimension>
<query:Dimension id='REF_AREA'>IND</query:Dimension>
<query:Time>
<query:StartTime>2014-01-02</query:StartTime>
<query:EndTime>2017-01-02</query:EndTime>
</query:Time>
<query:Dataflow>DF_UNDATA_WPP</query:Dataflow>
</query:And>
</query:DataWhere>
</message:Query>
</message:QueryMessage>";
NSIEstatV20Service service = new NSIEstatV20Service();
System.Xml.XmlDocument queryMessageDocument = new XmlDocument();
queryMessageDocument.LoadXml(queryMsg);
System.Xml.XmlNode queryMessage = queryMessageDocument.DocumentElement;
var result = service.GetCompactData(queryMessage);
MessageBox.Show(result.InnerXml);

The output

The query here basically returns the Total population of India

Hope it helps..
