Update PreOperation Plugin Gets Called Multiple Times

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Radi 19

We see that Update PreOperation Plugin gets called multiple times.

Scenario - Quote is updated by adding a Product Line. We see that there is only one update in audit log.

UpdateTestPlugin Code is very simple one, to get the tracing service and add attributes from entity.

Code below.

ITracingService tracingService =
                 (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));

            // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.  
            IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
                serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

            // The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.  
            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
                context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                // Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.  
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

                // Obtain the organization service reference which you will need for  
                // web service calls.  
                IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory =
                    (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
                IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

                try
                {
                    // Plug-in business logic goes here.  
                    tracingService.Trace("inside update test plugin");
                    Entity entityFromContext = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                    foreach (String key in entityFromContext.Attributes.Keys)
                    {
                        tracingService.Trace($"{key} " + "value " + entityFromContext.Attributes[key]);
                    }

                }

                catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
                {
                    throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in FollowUpPlugin.", ex);
                }

                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    tracingService.Trace("FollowUpPlugin: {0}", ex.ToString());
                    throw;
                }
            }

    public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
	{
		ITracingService tracingService =
			 (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
		// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.  
		IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
			serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

					lineEntity["tax"] = new Money(12);
					Money money1 = (Money)lineEntity["amount"];
					lineEntity["extendedamount"] = new Money(12   money1.Value);
					updateLineEntityList.Add(lineEntity);

	}

	private EntityCollection GetLineItems(Entity entity, IOrganizationService service)
	{
		QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression(Tables.QUOTE_PRODUCT);
		string[] columns = { "extendedamount","tax","amount" };
		var columnList = new List();
		columnList.AddRange(columns);

		query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(columnList.ToArray());

    Hi,

    Thank for looking into this.

    Here is the updated code. I added this code as a plugin, and ran it as a PreOperation Plugin On the Quote Update.

    What I wanted to achieve is below -

    On each Quote Save, will get all the quotedetails for the given quote,

    for each quote detail

    set quotedetail tax as 12 and extendedamount as amount 12

    on quote which I got from context, set the totaltaxamount as quotedetailcount*12 5

    There are two issues, I am seeing with this -

    1. This plugin is getting called multiple times

    2. I couldn't able to save the quotedetail records using the relatedEntities. How I can do this.

    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

    Hi partner,

    Please format the code to make it easy to read.

    Where did you put your code?

    ITracingService tracingService =
                 (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));

            // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.  
            IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
                serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

            // The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.  
            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
                context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                // Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.  
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

                // Obtain the organization service reference which you will need for  
                // web service calls.  
                IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory =
                    (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
                IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

                try
                {
                    // Plug-in business logic goes here.  
                    tracingService.Trace("inside update test plugin");
                    Entity entityFromContext = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                    foreach (String key in entityFromContext.Attributes.Keys)
                    {
                        tracingService.Trace($"{key} "   "value "   entityFromContext.Attributes[key]);
                    }

                }

                catch (FaultException ex)
                {
                    throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in FollowUpPlugin.", ex);
                }

                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    tracingService.Trace("FollowUpPlugin: {0}", ex.ToString());
                    throw;
                }
            }
