RetrieveDuplicate WebAPI

Posted on by JoeO 230

Hi, im attempting to use the RetreiveDuplicate WebAPI without much success. First off, to confirm my understanding, the RetrieveDuplicate WebAPI confirms whether a specific record is a duplicate (based on an existing Duplicate Detection Rule). If this correct?

I tried it in many different ways, i get: `"message": "Resource not found for the segment 'RetrieveDuplicates'.",`

Im doing something like the below:

https://<ServerURL>/OrgName/api/data/v8.2/RetrieveDuplicates(BusinessEntity=@BE,MatchingEntityName=@MEN)?@BE={'@odata.type':'Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.new_LogicalCollectionName','new_recordid':'DF6FC529-CF4A-EB11-8118-00155D1B8835'}&@MEN='new_LogicalCollectionName'

    I figured the problem. Since the lookup is type Customer the format is:

    "parentcustomerid_account@odata.bind" = "/accounts(xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx),

    Hi Bipin,

    I did try this and unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I have got the below error.

    The property 'xxx' does not exist on type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type or mark the type as open type."

    HI,

    You need to pass in below format -

    "msft_emergencycontact@odata.bind" = "/contacts(b46c359b-bb2c-ec11-b6e6-6045bd72faf4)"

    msft_emergencycontact -> Lookup field schema name

    contacts-> Lookup Target Entity in plural form

    Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!

    Hi Folks, I have been able to use the RetrieveDuplicates API however, I am trying to figure out if we can pass lookup value to it as a param?

    Hi Clofly,

    That was actually one of the first things i checked. I even disabled/re-enabled, then unpublished/re-published. Same issue. I've just noticed however that im not even getting the duplicate record pop-up when creating a (for example) duplicate contact. I think ill open a PSS ticket.

    Hi Joe,

    Have you ever disabled duplicate detection of system? 

    From my test, when I disable the option in Settings > Data Management > Duplicate Detection Settings, all DD rules will be unpublished accordingly, then it will also throws 500 error if I execute the function.

    Therefore, please check whether the option is enabled and all of DD rules in your environment are in published status.

    Regards,

    Clofly

    Hi Joe,

    Are you using Dynamics 2016?

    According to the article:

    https://www.xrmcoaches.com/2016/03/dynamics-crm-sdk-8-0-2-is-available/

    RetrieveDuplicates function was added with update roll 1, please check whether the function is supported in your current version.

    Regards,

    Clofly

    Hello,

    I see no mistakes in your code. I believe you will have to do the troubleshooting on your side to figure out what exactly is wrong.
