How do you retrieve the appropriate dependency using RetrieveDependenciesForDeleteRequest

Posted on by cranialsurge

I'm trying to delete a managed solution but keep getting the following error:

The SdkMessageProcessingStep() component cannot be deleted because it is referenced by 1 other components. For a list of referenced components, use the RetrieveDependenciesForDeleteRequest.

Now the RetrieveDependenciesForDeleteRequest needs the type code for SdkMessageProcessingStep which is 92 and an objectId. But I don't know what this object id is because the error does not provide it. What is recommend approach to diagnosing such dependency errors?

Hi,

You can traverse solution to get it's component object type code , Did you check this sample code : msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg509063.aspx

On running this sample code, I get a list of dependencies for multiple component types. Is there any way to narrow this down to exactly why I am getting the message above while trying to delete a managed solution? Without being able to narrow this down somehow, it looks impossible to figure out what the problem is here.

Try to parse exception, you should be able to get some pointer for your specific component (which you are not able to delete) from exception and then should be able to filter result-set based on that component. I have not worked on this requirement but I am hoping you should be able to get that component, try to see what information you are getting in exception.

Hope it will help.

YOu mean try to parse the exception while deleting the solution via an SDK call instead of via the UI?

yes, put your code under try and catch blog and catch fault exception and try to parse it.

Unfortunately the exception that is thrown on trying to delete the solution is way too generic. All the faultexception returns is "Solution dependencies exist, cannot uninstall.". There is no additional info that is helpful anywhere either in the innerexception or the detail.

You can try executing the function by typing this into the browser address bar:

org************.crm*.dynamics.com/.../RetrieveDependenciesForDelete(ObjectId=CA2EED21-4E10-0466-08A6-83647CD4DD3E,ComponentType=1)

Note that the URL above is case sensitive. Replace the Object ID and component type with that of the one you want to get dependencies from.

If you're successful in executing this function, please mark as answered to help potential future readers.

Hi KhoaNguyen

Thanks for opting this solution. I want to delete a plugin assembly. Using plugin registration tool, I find the assembly ID, and assume I have to use this as an object id. Going through the SolutionComponentTable of Microsoft, I find Plugin Assemblies are of type 91.

However, using below link, ****dev.crm4.dynamics.com/main.as....../RetrieveDependenciesForDelete(ObjectId=e98a56e5-6cce-42bb-a7f8-fe0e24a6e848,ComponentType=91) I get an error message. Any clue where this is going wrong?

Thanks for your help.
