Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I am calling the below code from a ribbon button 'CloseAsWon' in opportunity form, it is throwing 'unable to get property 'retrieveRecord' of undefined or null reference'. Can you pls let know what am i missing. Also is that WebApi.retrieveRecord will work from ribbon context.

function CloseOpportunityCheck()
{
var owner = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('ownerid').getValue()[0].id;
owner = owner.replace(/[{}]/g, "");
//To get the businessunit of the Opportunity Owner.
Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("systemuser", "+owner+", "?$select=_businessunitid_value").then(
function success(data)
{
alert('Hi');
},
function (error)
{
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
});
}

    Hi ArunG,

    According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/xrm-webapi/retrieverecord,  the second parameter is the record ID.

    Try the following code:

    function CloseOpportunityCheck() {
    var owner = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ownerid").getValue()[0].id;
    owner = owner.replace(/[{}]/g, "");
    //To get the businessunit of the Opportunity Owner.
    Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("systemuser", owner, "?$select=_businessunitid_value").then(
    function success(data) {
    alert('Hi');
    },
    function (error) {
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
    });
    }

    If my answer helps you, please mark it as verified.
