Hi,
I am able to create a new account using the web API /api/data/v9.2/accounts. But when I do this. It allocates the account to the API account. How would I then change the _ownerid to the correct user after creation, if the _ownerid is a read-only property?
The goal is to export all accounts from another system to Dynamics using the web API and then allocate these accounts to the correct users that also exist on the old system
Hello,
If my reply (or replies) answers your question take a minute and verify the answer. You can do it by clicking "Yes" at the top of the reply (or replies) under the label "Does this answer your question?"
Not familiar with VB so it's hard for me to give you exact the code. Here is what you have to send:
{
"ownerid@odata.bind": "/systemuser(151F639c-1c73-eb11-b1ab-000d3a253b40)"
}
Also, you will have to use "PATCH" instead of "POST". Check this - docs.microsoft.com/.../update-delete-entities-using-web-api
Hi Andrew,
Below is a sample in VB.NET. I have commented out some of my other attempts.
Private Sub btnUpdateAccount_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnUpdateAccount.Click
Dim m_http As New MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP60
Dim Responce As String = ""
Dim _json As New JSON
Dim tt() As JSON.AccountInfo
Dim JSON As String = ""
Try
'JSON = "{""value"": ""123456789""}"
'JSON = "{""value"":""/systemuser(151F639c-1c73-eb11-b1ab-000d3a253b40)""}"
JSON = "{entity[""ownerid@odata.bind""]=""/systemuser(151F639c-1c73-eb11-b1ab-000d3a253b40)""}"
'JSON = "{""ownerid@odata.bind"":""71872ae2-4eae-eb11-8236-00224881db1e""}"
' m_http.open("PUT", "/api/data/v9.2/accounts(6a09a29c-78c3-eb11-bacc-00224881adac)/accountnumber", False)
m_http.open("POST", "/api/data/v9.2/accounts(6a09a29c-78c3-eb11-bacc-00224881adac)", False)
m_http.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
m_http.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " & pub_Token)
m_http.send(JSON)
Responce = m_http.responseText()
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Thanks for replying.
I'm however not sure how the JSON string should look
I have tried:
POST /api/data/v9.2/accounts(6a09a29c-78c3-eb11-bacc-00224881adac)/ownerid
{
"ownerid@odata.bind":"/systemuser(151F639c-1c73-eb11-b1ab-000d3a253b40)"
}
Response
A property 'ownerid' which only has property annotations in the payload but no property value is declared to be of type 'Edm.Guid'. In OData, only navigation properties and named streams can be represented as properties without values
POST /api/data/v9.2/accounts(6a09a29c-78c3-eb11-bacc-00224881adac)/ownerid
{
"value": "ownerid@odata.bind"="/systemuser(151F639c-1c73-eb11-b1ab-000d3a253b40)"
}
Response
