Updating Jobs - how do I find ObjectID?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TechLogic 25

I'm developing a logic app that needs to update one or more records in the Jobs entity in dynamics.

When updating a record in the entity, I'm required to provide an ObjectId which I'm not sure what is and where to find it. 

In my search I was able to find someone who said it consists of the company's data area id and an account code, separated by a comma. I'm unable to find either of those and I'm not even sure that it's what I need. 

Info/documentation is really sparse on this area so by all means, point me in direction of some documentation.

Where and how do I find the needed ObjectId for updating rows in a dynamics entity?

    Hi TechLogic,

    The ObjectId is the unique identifier of the object.

    What you need is the DataAreaID and JobNumber sans quotes.

    I've read these posts, but when I try to apply it I get: "Only 2 of 1 keys provided for lookup, provide keys for JobId".

    For testing purposes I get the record before I try to update and I'm passing the JobId from the "Get record" action to the "Update record" action. So as to why it say I'm not providing JobId, I don't know.

    EDIT: Spelling

    Thanks for the help.

    After reading your provided articles along with this one dynamicspedia.com/.../, I was able to get it to work. It seems that the job entity doesn't need to specify DataAreaID, only the JobId hence the "Only 2 of 1 keys provided" as it only needs one - the JobId.

    My second issue was that when I got it to work I wrongfully set Expiration and Effective to utcNow(), which obviously would immediately make the update and expire at the same time.

    So when setting Expiration to never, Effective to utcNow() and only using the JobId for updating the record, I finally got it to work.

    Thanks for the help
