Upgrading from Crm 2016 to Dynamics 365 - Javascript

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi everybody,

In the field of Javascript, I would like to know what problems I might encounter upgrading from crm 2016 to dynamics 365; more specifically, is there anything of crm 2016 no longer supported in Dynamics 365 (like SOAP calls, Odata queries etc..)?  

Thanks

    Hi Alexxx

    You should gradually start using the new Web API instead of ODATA calls because ODATA will be deprecated. But i am not sure about the SOAP calls as its no where mentioned that SOAP calls will be deprecated.

    I do not think you must change ODATA and SOAP to Web API.. From the upgrade standpoint, they are still going to work, but, moving forward, you should start using Web API:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt608128.aspx

    "While this service will continue to be available as-is for years to come, we are deprecating it with Microsoft Dynamics 365. The Organization Data service has always been limited to performing create, read, update, and delete operations and never supported the ability to call specialized messages used in the Organization service, so it could never reach parity with the functionality of the Organization service.. "

    You must change all the ODATA and SOAP calls to Web API based service calls in Javascripts. other than that, there is no deprecated javascript functionalities.
