C# ActivityPointer StateCode Update

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi All,

I'm try to update the statecode of the activitypointer entity through C# code but I'm having some issues doing so. I'm using the below code to do so,

UpdateStateValueRequest updateStateValue = new UpdateStateValueRequest
{
AttributeLogicalName = "statecode",
EntityLogicalName = "activitypointer",
Value = 1, //Completed
};

service.Execute(updateStateValue);

 

service is OrganizationServiceProxy and is already connected in a using statement further up in the code.

 

The code does not return any errors when this is executed which make me believe that is working. If I look in the UI or the database the statecode is still not updating. The only thing I can't understand about the above code snippet, there is not way that is linking to the specific activity.

 

Any ideas of what I have done wrong or any ways of completing this task would be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    The code you have written is for updating the Metadata of option set i.e. changing the

    label of existing option.

    But you have not passed new value in the field and that might be the issue.

    In case you want to update a specific records value and change state for that you can use SetState request.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Abhinav. I have tried suggested link and it might not work with the entity as this the activitypointer. This is the code snippet that I tried.

    SetStateRequest state = new SetStateRequest();

    state.State = new OptionSetValue(1); // Complete

    state.Status = new OptionSetValue(2);  // Complete

    state.EntityMoniker = new EntityReference("activitypointer", activityId);

    SetStateResponse stateSet = (SetStateResponse)service.Execute(state);

    It returns the below error message, when I try to execute the code.

    Error Message - The 'SetStateDynamicEntity' method does not support entities of type 'activitypointer'.

    Is the statecode update on the 'activitypointer' entity done in another way?

    Hi,

    My bad for not paying attention and mentioning earlier.

    From ActivityPointer you need to get related Activity object and set state for that.

    ActivityPointer object will contain the "ActivityTypeCode" and "ActivityId"

    You can create EntityReference from that and set the state.

    A rough idea for that:

    EntityReference etyRef = new EntityReference();

    etyRef.LogicalName = actPointer.ActivityTypeCode;

    etyRef.Id = actPointer.ActivityId;

    Now use this object (etyRef ) to set state.

    Thanks,

    Hi Abhinav Ranjan

    I am Also Facing The Same Issue ,in my code am trying to Mark all Activity as Completed.

    I have written Code For  Plugin. a PostCreate Plugin On My custom entity.

    here is my Code 

    SetStateRequest SetStateReq = new SetStateRequest();

    SetStateReq.EntityMoniker = new EntityReference(sEntityLogicalName, gActivityId);

    if (sEntityLogicalName.Contains("Phone Call"))

    {
    // Set the State and Status OptionSet Values to completed.
    SetStateReq.State = new OptionSetValue((int)PC.Enum.ActivityStateCode.Completed);
    SetStateReq.Status = new OptionSetValue((int)PC.Enum.PhoneCallActivityStatusCode.Made);
    }

    SetStateResponse _SetStateResp = (SetStateResponse)organizationService.Execute(SetStateReq);

    But the above Code  throw an Exception Required State Field Is Missing.
