dynamically/programatically enable/disable plugin?

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hello, I have a scheduled job that I need to run nightly. This job requires that one of the plugin entities be disabled before the job starts and re-enabled when the job ends. I need to run this job at night (independently) so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to dynamically/programatically enable/disable a plugin through a console app. Do you know if this is possible and how to do this?

RE: dynamically/programatically enable/disable plugin?

I would suggest to add a criteria instead of a Where linq on the whole resultset.

qe.Criteria.AddCondition("name", ConditionOperator.Equal, pluginName);

RE: dynamically/programatically enable/disable plugin?

Thanks a lot Guido. That was exactly what I was looking for. I consolidated the code at that url into the simplified utility method below:

public void EnablePlugin(IOrganizationService orgService, bool enable, string pluginName)

{

var qe = new QueryExpression("sdkmessageprocessingstep");

qe.ColumnSet.AddColumns("sdkmessageprocessingstepid", "name");

var step = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(qe).Entities.Where(x => x.Attributes["name"].ToString().Contains(pluginName)).First();

var pluginId = (Guid)step.Attributes["sdkmessageprocessingstepid"];

int pluginStateCode = enable ? 0 : 1;

int pluginStatusCode = enable ? 1 : 2;

orgService.Execute(new SetStateRequest

{

EntityMoniker = new EntityReference("sdkmessageprocessingstep", pluginId),

State = new OptionSetValue(pluginStateCode),

Status = new OptionSetValue(pluginStatusCode)

});

}
