Posted on by PB_ 5

We are migrating Emails from Azure SQL database to Email entity in D365 CE using Azure Data Factory (Copy Data). While creating the Activity party record for the emails, we are getting the below error.

Does anybody know how to resolve this?

ErrorCode=DynamicsOperationFailed,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=Dynamics operation failed with error code: -2147219456, error message: The 'Create' method does not support entities of type 'activityparty'.

    Hi Leah,

    Thanks for your response.

    We are migrating Email records from Azure SQL database to D365 CE. In order to populate the To & From fields, we need to populate ActivityParty records.

     // Create the 'From:' activity party for the email

               var fromParty = new ActivityParty

               {

                   PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, userId)

               };

               // Create the 'To:' activity party for the email

               var toParty = new ActivityParty

               {

                   PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, contactId)

               };

               Console.WriteLine("Created activity parties.");

               // Create an e-mail message.

               var email = new Email

               {

                   To = new ActivityParty[] { toParty },

                   From = new ActivityParty[] { fromParty },

                   Subject = "SDK Sample e-mail",

                   Description = "SDK Sample for SendEmail Message.",

                   DirectionCode = true

               };

               emailId = service.Create(email);

    Do you know how we can populate those fields without system allowing us to create those records? Do we need to pass that information in specific field like in Kingsway soft migration tool?

    Hi Partner,

    Email is one Activity entity, and it involves four activity party types:

    An activity party represents a person or group associated with an activity. An activity can have multiple activity parties.

    And Create is not supported in ActivityParty, the only supported methods is RetrieveMultiple, which is by-design.
