Posted on by D365FO user 465

Hi,

I'm trying to update records using this entity LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity, but I'm getting this error:
Cannot locate data source record of type LogisticsPostalAddress with RecId xx. Entity name: LogisticsPostalAddressBaseEntity, RecId: xx, Database operation: Update.

LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity  entity;
ttsbegin;
select firstonly forupdate entity where entity.LocationId == input.LocationId();
if(entity)
{
    entity.Street = input.Street();
    //
    specify more fields to update
    //
    entity.update();
}
ttscommit;

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    That's not the correct way to do it. You should override mapEntityToDatasource or updateEntityDatasource method with the following code:

    public void mapEntityToDataSource(DataEntityRuntimeContext _entityCtx, DataEntityDataSourceRuntimeContext _dataSourceCtx)
{
    next mapEntityToDataSource(_entityCtx, _dataSourceCtx);

    if (_dataSourceCtx.name() == dataEntityDataSourceStr(LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity, LogisticsPostalAddress)
        && dataSourceCtx.getDatabaseOperation() == DataEntityDatabaseOperation::Update)
    {
        LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity entity = _sender as LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity;
        entity.Street = input.Street();
    }
}

    How you get the input value will depend on your scenario.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi Danilo?

    Why this is incorrect? When I tried the same thing with dirPartyCDSEntity it worked and I didn't get such error.

    As for the input..I'm currently doing this code inside a custom service..so the input the is the input of the custom service. How I'm going to pass it to the methods you specified?

    I think I misread your scenario.

    Then what I'd do is a combination of both your code, and overriding the mapEntityToDatasource method, because it looks like it's not updating the LogisticsPostalAddress record correctly. So you'll have to add code there to retrieve the individual record from that datasource and manually assign the value from the entity itself.

    Hi Danilo,

    Do you mean in my custom service I should assign the new values without adding the update line?

    So in mapEntityToDataSource...I just put sender.update();??

    And do you know why it didn't allow for updating in my custom service?

    Right, so I'd keep the custom service as it is, without removing anything, since it works for other entities, and I would add the following code to the Data Entity:

        [DataEventHandler(tableStr(LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity), DataEventType::UpdatingEntityDataSource)]
    public static void LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity_onUpdatingEntityDataSource(Common _sender, DataEventArgs _eventArgs)
    {
        DataEntityContextEventArgs contextEventArgs = _eventArgs as DataEntityContextEventArgs;
        DataEntityDataSourceRuntimeContext dataSourceCtx = contextEventArgs.parmEntityDataSourceContext();

        if (dataSourceCtx.name() == dataEntityDataSourceStr(LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity, LogisticsPostalAddress))
        {
            LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity entity = _sender as LogisticsPostalAddressHistoricalCDSV2Entity;
            LogisticsPostalAddress logisticsPostalAddress =  dataSourceCtx.getBuffer();
            logisticsPostalAddress.Street = entity.Street;
        }
    }

    To see if that forces the update on the LogisticsPostalAddress table.

    Let me know if that works out.
