Hi all

I am using the following code to get the workflow Id but my code is not working

function getWorkflowId() {
   debugger;
   var workflowName = "List";//"0197a5a2-e574-49ac-8511-f1b50954ca52"
    var odataSelect = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/WorkflowSet?$select=WorkflowId&$filter=StateCode/Value eq 1 and ParentWorkflowId/Id eq null and Name eq \'' + workflowName + '\'";

    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.open("GET", odataSelect, false);
    xmlHttp.send();

    if (xmlHttp.status == 200) {
        var result = xmlHttp.responseText;

        var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
        xmlDoc.async = false;
        xmlDoc.loadXML(result);

       return workFlowID = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("d:WorkflowId")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
    }
}

Please suggest me Where am I wrong?

Thank You

Hi Abdul,

Check your workflow name.

Refer this:

use Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl(); instead of Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl()

Your main error is that you're trying to parse xml of response but response is JSon. Your code should look like following:

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/WorkflowSet?$select=WorkflowId&$filter=Name eq 'test%20name' and ParentWorkflowId eq null and StateCode/Value eq 1", true);

req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

req.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (this.readyState === 4) {

this.onreadystatechange = null;

if (this.status === 200) {

var returned = JSON.parse(this.responseText).d;

var results = returned.results;

for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {

var workflowId = results[i].WorkflowId;

}

} else {

Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);

}

}

};

req.send();

I used this tool for generation of query and sampling of JavaScript - github.com/.../CRMRESTBuilder

Try it - it's really helpfull.

Hi Abdul Wahab,

Try the code below.

function GetWorkflowIDByName(wfName) { var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl(); var wfID = null; //Prepare ODATA query to fetch WF GUID by WF Name var odataSelect = serverUrl + "/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/WorkflowSet?$select=WorkflowId&$filter=ActiveWorkflowId/Id ne null and Name eq '" + wfName + "'"; $.ajax({ type: "GET", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", datatype: "json", url: odataSelect, beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) { XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); }, success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) { if (data.d != null && data.d.results != null && data.d.results.length != 0 && data.d.results[0].WorkflowId != null) { wfID = data.d.results[0].WorkflowId; } }, error: function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert('OData Select Failed: ' + odataSelect); } }); }

Hope this helps.
