Fixed – Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Cannot create a lookup without the required parameters in CRM 2013

Hi,

Got this error in one of the steps in the Action. It was updating one of the lookup field using Update step.

The issue was that the lookup field was not in the form. Adding that particular field in the form back resolved the issue.

Hope this helps..

}

function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {

var isUserAdmin = currentUser.get_isSiteAdmin();
if (isUserAdmin) {

alert('Current User is Administrator');

} else {

alert('Current User is not an Administrator');
}
}

Using CreateMultiEntityAssociation method of CRMServiceClient for 1: n records.

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.

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"));

Business Rules in CRM 2013

Just writing down few key points regarding the Business Rules in CRM 2013.

Business Rules run on client side so any custom server side code or data import will bypass it.
Business Rule can be created for a specific form or all the forms of the entity.

Business Rules execute offline and also for tablet client.
If else conditions are not supported.
Rule are created for a single entity.
No support for or conditions.
If there is custom JavaScript and two business rules written on same condition, the custom JavaScript will run first, followed by the order in which the business rules have been activated.
