Hi,

When workflow started I get a error:

'This workflow job was canceled because the workflow that started it included an infinite loop. Correct the workflow logic and try again. For information about workflow logic, see Help.'

Part of code:

AssociateRequest areq = new AssociateRequest();
areq.Target = new EntityReference("a24_assessment_questions", new Guid(question.Id.ToString()));
areq.RelatedEntities = new EntityReferenceCollection();
areq.RelatedEntities.Add(new EntityReference("systemuser", new Guid(evaluator.Id.ToString())));
areq.Relationship = new Relationship("a24_assessment_questions_systemuser");
organizationService.Execute(areq);

If someone knows have to solve this , please help me..

Thanks in advance..

All is well as long as your business needs are fulfilled :). It is Ok to use context.Depth to avoid infinite loop.

Every time a running plug-in or Workflow issues a message request to the Web services that triggers another plug-in or Workflow to execute, the Depth property of the execution context is increased. If the depth property increments to its maximum value within the configured time limit, the platform considers this behaviour an infinite loop and further plug-in or Workflow execution is aborted.

The maximum depth (8) and time limit (one hour) are configurable by the Microsoft Dynamics 365 administrator using the PowerShell command Set-CrmSetting. The setting is WorkflowSettings.MaxDepth.

Hi,

In plugin I have :

base.RegisteredEvents.Add(new PluginEvent()
{
Stage = eStage.PreOperation,
MessageName = MessageNames.Associate,
PluginAction = ExecutePluginLogicConcatUserAssociate
});

When I put this part of code in plugin step:

if (context.Depth > 1)
{ return; }

Everything works well. I don't know it is good idea with this part of code ?

Hi,

Code:

public class AssignEvaluatorToAssessmentQuestionActivity : CodeActivity
{
[Input("EvaluatorReference input")]
[ReferenceTarget(SystemuserEntity.EntityName)]
public InArgument<EntityReference> EvaluatorReference { get; set; }

[Input("EvaluatorReference assessment question")]
[ReferenceTarget(AssessmentQuestionEntity.EntityName)]
public InArgument<EntityReference> AssessmentQuestion { get; set; }

protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
{
ITracingService tracingService = context.GetExtension<ITracingService>();
IOrganizationService organizationService = CrmHelper.CreateOrganizationService(context);

EntityReference question = this.AssessmentQuestion.Get(context);
EntityReference evaluator = this.EvaluatorReference.Get(context);

tracingService.Trace(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "Received ref. for evaluator with id {0}", evaluator.Id));

try
{
AssociateRequest request = new AssociateRequest();
EntityReference mon1 = new EntityReference("a24_assessment_questions", new Guid(question.Id.ToString()));
EntityReference mon2 = new EntityReference("systemuser", new Guid(evaluator.Id.ToString()));
request.Target = mon1;
request.RelatedEntities = new EntityReferenceCollection { mon2 };
request.Relationship = new Relationship("a24_assessment_questions_systemuser");
organizationService.Execute(request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
tracingService.Trace(ex.ToString());
throw;
}
}
}

Process:

Thanks in advance..

What is the rest of the code, and what are the workflow steps, and triggers ? If this AssociateRequest would cause the workflow to fire again (for example, if you had a plugin on the Associate message that updated one of the related entities, and that update triggered the workflow), then the infinite loop detection is doing its job
