Removing N:N relationships in XRMToolbox

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by epark06 1,328

Hello, I've recently done an import in XRM Toolbox to create new N:N relationships, but now I would like to remove those relationships. Is this an available function in XRM Toolbox? Would it be possible that when I import the file, it would remove the specified relationship rather than create it?

    Hi,

    I'm not sure if you can do it through the toolbox, but it's super easy to do in CRM itself. Navigate to one of the entities, click on N:N relationships, select the one you don't want and click Delete.

    If this was helpful, I'd appreciate if you would mark this as the verified answer.

    Thanks,

     Aiden

    Thanks for the help, but the issue is I need to remove over 6000. Is this possible in CRM?

    6000 relationships? If you have a list of the relationship names, you can do it through the SDK by looping through and making a call with the DeleteRelationshipRequest like this:

    DeleteRelationshipRequest deleteManyToManyRelationshipRequest = 
    new DeleteRelationshipRequest
{
    Name = "new_accounts_campaigns"
};

_serviceProxy.Execute(deleteManyToManyRelationshipRequest);

    epark,

    You want to remove relationship (metadata) or diassociate it only (without delete the record)?

    Thanks

    I would like to disassociate the relationship only.

    Use the programmatically

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
