Plugin Is Called Multiple Times

Posted on by tudorian 55

Hello,

 

I have a problem with my CRM implementation. I have a plugin that registered to be firered when an account is created or updated.

The problem is that the plugin is called by the CRM system 6 times when an update is performed . I created a custom entity which i use to log plugin activities, but this entity is not related to my account entity. When i looked at the log entity i saw 6 execution cicles of my plugin.

If i am using the debugger and i am going realy slow only one execution is performed, but otherwise the number of executions varies from 1 to 6 . The problem is i cannot make any differences between these execution threads , i have tried context.Depth but without succes.

 

Did anyone have this problem until now.

 

Thank you.

    Without seeing some code it's hard to put a finger on the issue. It's possible you're doing a recursive call though and CRM is killing the plugin after 6 depths. Are you updating your account entity at any stage during the plugin? If so that's your problem. When trying to make changes or additions to an entity via a pre create / pre update plugin it's better to intercept the target entity passed in through your input parameters and add / change the data in there.

    Otherwise show us some code and we might be able to help debug the problem

    I found the problem :)  I used in the plugin a post image, And at one point a set the values of the Target Entity to the Image. It is so stupid from my side :)
