Workflow to check for duplicates

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 238

Hi,

I have a simple workflow which runs a fetchxml to find duplicates, It matches a number of fields of the record in question, and if a dup is found, it marks the record as a dup (yes i know about dynamics dup checking, i need to use this). I need to run this workflow in bulk (ill be using XRLToolbox bulk workflow execution).  My problem is that when the workflow fires, it starts on both records at the same time, and as a result, matches both records as a dup. Record1 is marked as a dup because of Record2, and Record2 is marked as a dup because of Record1. How could i avoid this and only mark a single record as a dup?

    Hi,

    If I am not wrong, your workflow must be running in background which is why it is picking up the record at the same time. If you change your workflow to real time then the execution will happen sequentially and thus you can avoid this scenario.

    Hope this helps.
