Following code can be used to merge records using JavaScript and WebApi:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 |
var target = { leadid: "E5975EA3-531C-E511-80D8-3863BB3CE2C8"//Use contactid, accountid or incidentid to merge other entities }; target["@odata.type"] = "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lead";//use contact, account or incident for other entities var subordinate = { leadid: "ED975EA3-531C-E511-80D8-3863BB3CE2C8"//Use contactid, accountid or incidentid to merge other entities }; subordinate["@odata.type"] = "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lead";//use contact, account or incident for other entities var updatecontent = { leadid: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"//Use contactid, accountid or incidentid to merge other entities }; updatecontent["@odata.type"] = "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lead";//use contact, account or incident for other entities var parameters = {}; parameters.Target = target; parameters.Subordinate = subordinate; parameters.UpdateContent = updatecontent; parameters.PerformParentingChecks = true; var context; if (typeof GetGlobalContext === "function") { context = GetGlobalContext(); } else { context = Xrm.Page.context; } var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("POST", context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/Merge", true); req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0"); req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); req.onreadystatechange = function () { if (this.readyState === 4) { req.onreadystatechange = null; if (this.status === 204) { //Success - No Return Data - Do Something } else { var errorText = this.responseText; //Error and errorText variable contains an error - do something with it } } }; req.send(JSON.stringify(parameters)); |
Is there an example of this using OData API for Java ?
I am constructing ClientEntity objects which get parsed to InputStream and sent to web api. This library attaches {fieldname@odata.type, fieldname:fieldvalue}
Not sure how to pass in this request using OData
Hello Vicky,
I’m afraid that I’m not an expert in Java to suggest.
Thanks,
Andrew
