Hi,

I was told that we need to migrate to latest version of web api for the uci client.

I am not a developer, and I assume we are currently using rest odata calls. How do I know what all the odata calls or web api calls that are there in the CRM system?

Is there a simple way to check for this?

If not, where do I check all this call in CRM?

Thnaks.

Hi James ,

Its hard to replace all the code if you are not developer however you can learn something basics things about SDK.REST and new Web API before proceed with this .

You need to find the code start with SDK.REST or you can also need to find if anywhere uses XrmServiceToolkit to call organization service (http:xxxx/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc) .

See below reference to know how its works in your current application-

Understanding SDK.REST -

Understanding XRMServiceToolKit-

So identify all the web resource first as suggested by Ravi or you can check manually getting all web resource connecting developer extension through Visual studio , and then try to replace one by one .

You can create API request very simple way using CRMRestbuilder - download CRMRestBuilder and import the solution to your Dynamics 365 instance.

You can also use Xrm method -

Good Luck.

Hi James,

It looks like you are trying to validate if you have the supported code in your system with respect to V9 so that before migration you can change it accordingly. If yes, then you can use the below plugin in Xrm Toolbox to validate the javascript.

www.nuget.org/.../XrmToolBox.Dynamics365V9JavascriptValidator

You can download the tool from here if not already : https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/

Hope this helps.

Hi James,

Other than reaching out to Microsoft for this information, I think that this is the only place that will give you good visibility over your API calls.

Thanks Adrian.Other than the one that is mentioned in the screenshot, is there any other place where I can look my custom api calls?

Hi James,

There is a most used API section that will tell you what API is being called most, but I think it may still be difficult to distinguish between system API calls and custom API calls.

Adrian, thanks very much for this. Using this can I differentiate which is a system api call and which is a custom one?

Hi James,

You can view Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement analytics from the Power Platform Admin center by select analytics > Common Data Service. There is an analytics section covering API Calls Statistics.
