Duplicate Sequence Number in CRM 2013

Posted on by Community Member

Hi All,

I am facing a weird issue in Opportunity entity.
In very random cases,when using save as functionality for product,duplicate sequence number is being assigned to the product.
My logic for assigning the sequence number is in a plugin.
I am not able to reproduce except i found that it is being generated through save as functionality.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ripal,

May I know how you are retrieving Max number?

If you got max number then add number and assign it. Please tell me how you are getting max number.

Thanks.

Are you properly using SQL locking to make sure that the plugin isn't firing twice and getting the same number before it's incremented? CRM plugins support the method, and it will guarantee your plugin gets a unique number.

Hi Ripal, Agree with Wayne that many custom Autonumber solutions do not handle concurrency very well. However I am happy to share my solution with you, or you can download from Celedon Partners or ADXStudio productivity Pack.

Hi All,

Thanks for your answers.

I am not using any auto number generation logic.

I am just simply retrieving the max sequence number through a query and then according to the method of generation of the Product,I am incrementing and assigning sequence number.

Yup, that will definitely give you duplicates, as you can retrieve the same max at the same time if you don't have a read lock on the field while it's getting updated.

RE: Duplicate Sequence Number in CRM 2013

Hi Ripal,

Can you try following code?

Actually I created two records with same sequence number then I created one more record with next sequence. So it will take sequence num and added 1 to Max number. There is no duplicate sequence number.

Try following code once

using (var xrm = new XrmServiceContext(service))
{
Account a = new Account();
var seqnum = xrm.AccountSet.ToList();
long? Sequence = 1000000;
if (seqnum.Count > 0)
{

Sequence = Convert.ToInt32(seqnum.Max(r => r.new_SequenceNumber) + 1);
if (Sequence < 1000000)
Sequence = 1000000;
service.Create(new Account
{
new_Name= "using Online",
new_SequenceNumber= (int)Sequence
});
}
}

Hope it helps you

Thanks.
