Just use the class Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap to get the entity type code.

Keep in mind Annotation uses an Option Set for the objecttypecode.

Here's a method I have in my personal toolkit that returns one column from one entity. You have to pass it a Fetch that returns only one row including the column you want.

function getSingleton (fetchQuery,attrib, isGUID, err) { // fetchQuery is the Query in FETCHXML Format. // attrib is the logical name of the attribute you are returning, eg. accountid (schema name in lower case) // isGUID is a boolean that indicates if you are retrieving a value or a GUID. // err is an error message to be delivered to the user if there is an error. If you don't want an error, pass null. // Use to get one field from one record. Pass in a Fetch statement and the name of the attribute you want to return. // Requires XRM Service Toolkit. http://xrmservicetoolkit.codeplex.com/ var strAttrib = attrib.toString(); var r; var returnArray = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.Fetch(fetchQuery); if (returnArray == null) { return null; } // Check that you only got one thing back and that the field you requested exists. if ((returnArray.length == 1) && (returnArray[0].attributes[strAttrib] != undefined)) { if (isGUID) { r = returnArray[0].attributes[strAttrib].id; } else { r= returnArray[0].attributes[strAttrib].value; } } else { if (err != null) { alert (err); } r= null; } return r; }

XMLServiceToolkit must be on the form as a web resource.

In your case you could use it like this:

var fetch = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>" + " <entity name='annotation'>" + " <attribute name='objecttypecode' />" + " <attribute name='annotationid' />" + " <order attribute='subject' descending='false' />" + " <filter type='and'>" + " <condition attribute='annotationid' operator='eq' value = \""' + [GUID of annotation] + '\"" />" + " </filter>" + " </entity>" + "</fetch>" ; var annotationTypeCode = getSingleton(fetch,"objecttypecode",false,"There was an error");

Not tested or anything, but it should point you in the right direction.

To use along with Anotation entity, mainly used for document attachment.

Hi Jishad,

In CRM 2015 updated rollup doesn't support the Remote command , you have to use supported methods only ,

XrmServiceToolkit provides a method named as RetrieveEntityMetadata function , use this as follows

var entityMetadata = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.RetrieveEntityMetadata(["Entity"], "account", true);

in the result you will get the Object type code of account entity

RemoteCommand is not part of the support SDK and so I am not surprised it does not work anymore.

You will need to make a call to the metadata to get the object type code - e.g. msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg594428.aspx

If you want and easy and (again unsupported) technique - you can use:

Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[entityName]

Hope this helps,

Scott

Hi HIMBAP,

I didn't want Sdk.Rest rather than that i want the details why

var lookupService = new RemoteCommand("LookupService","RetrieveTypeCode");

this is not working and what is the update for this one.

Also the code that you entered is not working, since the objcode is not assosiated with records, rather than it is assosiated with the Entity only.
