Can attribute in FetchXML accept default value?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by binoyk 61

Hello,

I have a situation where I would like to use FetchXML as Dynamics CRM  Source in SSIS package. 

I would like to know whether we can pass certain specific value as default in attribute as part of FetchXML?

Something I am looking for is as below.

<fetch top="50" >
<entity name="entity1" >

<attribute name="anything1" alias="a" value="default1" />

<attribute name="anything2" alias="b" value="default2" />

</entity>

</fetch>

    Hi!

    You cannot add defaults to the query but when you use the value in the report you can use a formula to show a value if the value is null:

    =iif (IsNothing(Fields!name.Value), "Default”, Fields!name.Value)

    Hi,

    You can use the fetchxml with different operators but it should be in the supported format. you can query in advance find and export fetch or if you are going more advanced than advance find, there is XRMToolBox that helps you in generating fetchxml in the Dynamics supported format.

    Could you elaborate what you're trying to achieve? Do you mean to use ssis-variables as values for fetchxml?
