Shared variable

Posted on by priyanka_24 70

Hello Guys,

Can anyone explain me the concept of shared variable in D365?

ExecutionContextObj.getSharedVariable(key)

ExecutionContextObj.setSharedVariable(key, value)

I have a requirement in which I have to make a subgrid say "Address" on Account form and using the concept of shared variable I have to pass value from Account to the subgrid record? Can anyone please explain how to implement this.

Thanks in advance :)

    I tried to explain what is get/set shared variable in JS here : community.dynamics.com/.../289043

    Also here is another blog : sliong.wordpress.com/.../crm-2011-execution-context-javascript-shared-variable

    if i understand your requirement correctly  - you need to update child records using some values from account record. To do this you can simply a write  simple javascript using WEB API aspsolutionkirit.blogspot.com/.../how-to-retrieves-all-child-contacts-of.html or simple plugin.

    Hi Rawish,

    I can update using web api but the requirement is to use the concept of shared variable to set value in child record?

    Okay, I have not seen the concept set/get sharedvariable being used for updating child record.

    During a event execution the formcontext is passed to various event handlers and within those event handlers you can make use of sharedvariable.

    To be honest - they are just to 'set' a variable in an event and later 'get' it  - cannot be used to CRUD operations as such.  

    the requirement doesnt make sense as all you have to do is retrieve the ID of the parent and do a simple retrievemultiple ap request and update records.

    Okay, can you demonstrate by giving a simple scenario for shared variable?

    Hi Priyanka,

    Looks like i am very bad at explaining. Let me try again.

    if you are aware of shared variable concept in dynamics CRM plugins where in you can set a variable and later use it in the plugins registered on the same event in dynamics crm.

    similar way a shared variable can be set and used amongst functions being called on same events in javascripts.
