Retrieving and updating an entities data javascript

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Am wading through converting  CRM 4 to 2011 and have gone blank on how to update a record:

       var serverUrl = document.location.protocol + "//" + document.location.host + "/" + Xrm.Page.context.getOrgUniqueName();
        var oDataEndpointUrl = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/";
        oDataEndpointUrl += "A_counterSet?$select=A_counterId, A_Count&$filter=A_name eq 'A_Ref'";

        var service = GetRequestObject();
        if (service != null)
        {
            service.open("GET", oDataEndpointUrl, false);
            service.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-Width", "XMLHttpRequest");
            service.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json, text/javascript, */*");
            service.send(null);
            var requestResults = eval('(' + service.responseText + ')').d;

            if (requestResults != null && requestResults.results.length > 0)
            {
                var value = requestResults.results[0].A_Count;
                var CCount = parseFloat(value) +1;

                var res = getNo(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("A_pcode").getValue()) + CCount;
                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("A_projectreference").setSubmitMode("always"); 
                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("A_projectreference").setValue(res);

                var CCountID = requestResults.results[0].A_counterId;


            }
        }


I am retrieving a counter and then want to add 1 to it and then write this back to the system, just struggling to understand how.

    Why are you converting any code to the CRM 2011 soap interface, its deprecated and will rapidly become end of life. Unless you are migrating to a 2011 / 13 system you really should be using the webapi in its 8.1 /8.2 or 9.0 versions?

    Hi, 
    Maybe this link can help you, it uses the CRM 2011 SDK that you can download here

                   sGUID,

                   sEntityName,

           },

           false

       );

    }

    Try download CRM Rest Builder. This will help you with coding your REST API calls.

    github.com/.../CRMRESTBuilder

    Hope this helps.

    Currently just looking to migrate this CRM 4 system to 2011 and then bounce to 2013 - Most probably the system will sit there while we look to do a complete new CRM system for the company - Viewpoint is that this could be a quick and dirty upgrade buying us a little time to look at the new system.

    I couldn't get this to work with an existing custom entity (entity carried forward from crm4 to 2011) so recreated entity as my own and the code works perfectly - just can't see why it didn't work with original entity?
