Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to create new custom entity record from C# plugin code, like:

Entity documentlog = new Entity("tal_documentsubmissionlog");
documentlog["tal_name"] = "Test Account";
Guid accountId = _iOrgService.Create(documentlog);

throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("LOg creation test >>" + accountId.ToString());

I am able to throw exception like: "LOg creation test >>484b17a2-30e1-e611-8108-3863bb360098"

but records are not shown in CRM .

Hi

Try the below code

try{

Entity documentlog = new Entity("tal_documentsubmissionlog");

documentlog["tal_name"] = "Test Account";

Guid accountId = _iOrgService.Create(documentlog);

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(ex.message);

}

Put InvalidPluginExecutionException in the catch

Hi! I know a plugin that can help log calls automatically in MS Dynamics. That app is Tenfold, a CTI and sales acceleration platform that offers features like call logging and call monitoring. You can check out Tenfold on the integrations page if you'd like to know more. www.tenfold.com/.../dynamics

throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("PluginName Plugin Error : " + string.Concat(ex.Message, ":", num, Environment.NewLine, num));
}

Hi Pawan,

Yes, as you said, once the exception is thrown, if a plug-in is executing in the database transaction, the entire transaction will be rolled back.

Note: Pre-operation and Post-operation plugins will execute in the DB transaction for sure, Pre-validation might execute outside of the DB transaction as well.

From MSDN:

Plug-ins may or may not execute within the database transaction of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform. Whether a plug-in is part of the transaction is dependent on how the message request is processed by the pipeline. You can check if the plug-in is executing in-transaction by reading the IsInTransaction property inherited by IPluginExecutionContext that is passed to the plug-in. If a plug-in is executing in the database transaction and allows an exception to be passed back to the platform, the entire transaction will be rolled back. Stages 20 and 40 are guaranteed to be part of the database transaction while stage 10 may be part of the transaction.

Any registered plug-in that executes during the database transaction and that passes an exception back to the platform cancels the core operation. This results in a rollback of the core operation. In addition, any pre-event or post-event registered plug-ins that have not yet executed and any workflow that is triggered by the same event that the plug-in was registered for will not execute

Try using TracingService for logging.
