Difference between using Xrm.WebApi.online and Xrm.WebApi

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 125

We are trying to utilize the capabilities of offline mode in mobile but all our scripts are mostly written with Xrm.WebApi.online to perfomr the CRUD operations.So our initial thought it to change it Xrm.WebApi.Offline to use it in offline mode but again it will impact the former one. So we are planning to use Xrm.WebApi only to perform the CRUD( replacing the WebApi.offline or WebApi.online) so that we do not need to think about if we are using online mode or offline mode for a particular entity.

Can we get the idea or impact that we are going to face.

    Hi Dynamics_User07,

    I might be wrong but as per my very little knowledge Xrm.WebApi is the short form of Xrm.WebApi.online. When you need to use offline it must need to specify.

    Hi Dynamics_User07,

    As per my very little knowledge. You need to check the mode of the app. In online use online API, offline use API. For more details:  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/xrm-webapi/offline
