Posted on by Poojith Jain

Hi All,

I am trying to call Custom D365FO REST web service using client-id and ClientSecret in Logic App (i.e. HTTP Post). The web service executed the operation in the Default user context. I know that in the Soap version it is possible to switch the context/Company using AX.CallContext callContext = new AX.CallContext() { Company = "XXXX" }. Which in turn generates

<s:Header><h:CallContext xmlns:h="">schemas.microsoft.com/.../datacontracts" xmlns:i="">www.w3.org/.../h:Company><h:Language i:nil="true"/><h:MessageId i:nil="true"/><h:PartitionKey i:nil="true"/></h:CallContext></s:Header>

I would like to achieve the same in REST endpoint of this webservice.

I tried the following:

1. Added the call context in Body of the request

"CallContext": {
"Company": "XXXX"
},

2. Added CallContext in the header

Nothing seems to work. Can someone advise how to switch the context?

Note: I don't want to add Company in data contract and then code does the company switching

Hi Poojith,

Have you tried this:

BODY

{

"legalEntityId":"<string>"

}

Why do you have to use Rest API？

What do you want to achieve?

Many regards.

Hi Will,

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to call D365FO custom web service from LogicApp. I need to switch the company based on a parameter. Currently the call context (company) is always the default context of Azure AD Application.

I tried your solution and it didn't work.

Hi Partner,

Why do you want to call the Web APIs directly when Logic Apps provides a Dynamics 365 connector out of the box?

You can create a API connection and select the organization and the entity.

Hi Will,

There is a difference between D365 and D365FO. A custom webservice in FO is needed for business logic.

Hi Partner,

D365FO can do the same.

Please refer to the blog:

community.dynamics.com/.../dynamics-365-for-operations-logic-app-how-to-get-one-record-if-you-do-not-know-the-unique-key

You can type your company name in the filter query.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Have you found a way to do it with REST API ?

I'm looking for a solution as we have for SOAP service with callContext

There is no CallContext for REST endpoints. You need to add a parameter to your contract and use it to switch companies inside your service operation. It won't happen automatically.

I know it is probably a long short, but did you get the Logic App to call the D365FO custom service. I have tried without any luck getting "Cannot connect to remote server" error. The same call from Postman works fine.
