Retrieve the Set of All Privileges in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript

This illustration shows how to retrieve the set of all privileges for an organization in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with RetrievePrivilegeSetRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).

Ok, here is what the code looks like!
First in C#:

RetrievePrivilegeSetRequest req = new RetrievePrivilegeSetRequest();
RetrievePrivilegeSetResponse resp = (RetrievePrivilegeSetResponse)service.Execute(req);


If you need help instantiating a service object in .NET within a plugin check out this post:
http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/04/instantiating-service-object-within.html

Now here is the Jscript nicely formatted by the CRM 2011 SOAP formatter. Available at: http://crm2011soap.codeplex.com/

Now in Jscript


This example is asynchronous, if you want to learn how to make JScript SOAP calls synchronously please visit this posthttp://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/07/using-jscript-to-access-soap-web.html

To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.RetrievePrivilegeSetRequest  function from your form jscript handler.
Thats all there is to it!

To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.RetrieveBusinessHierarchyBusinessUnitRequest  function from your form jscript handler.
Thats all there is to it!

Install Sample Data in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript With InstallSampleDataRequest

This illustration shows how to install the sample data that comes with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with InstallSampleDataRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).

Ok, here is what the code looks like!
First in C#:

InstallSampleDataRequest req = new InstallSampleDataRequest();

InstallSampleDataResponse resp = (InstallSampleDataResponse)slos.Execute(req);


If you need help instantiating a service object in .NET within a plugin check out this post:

Now here is the Jscript nicely formatted by the CRM 2011 SOAP formatter. Available at: http://crm2011soap.codeplex.com/

To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.UninstallSampleDataRequest  function from your form jscript handler.
Thats all there is to it!

I hope this helps!

Delete Old Audit Data in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript With DeleteAuditDataRequest

This illustration shows how to delete old audit data in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with DeleteAuditDataRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).

NOTE: I also included RetrieveAuditPartitionListRequest because it was included in the .NET example provided on MSDN, which is where I got the C# code I used below: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.crm.sdk.messages.deleteauditdatarequest.aspx  Please note that the RetrieveAuditPartitionListRequest may not be necessary unless you want to filter what audit data partitions are deleted based on some criteria (like end date) as all you need to set in the DeleteAuditDataRequest is the end date to not exceed when deleting data.  So if you just set it to DateTime.Now it will delete any and all ended audit data partitions.

Ok, here is what the code looks like!
First in C#:

RetrieveAuditPartitionListResponse partitionRequest =
    (RetrieveAuditPartitionListResponse)service.Execute(new RetrieveAuditPartitionListRequest());
AuditPartitionDetailCollection partitions = partitionRequest.AuditPartitionDetailCollection;

// Create a delete request with an end date earlier than possible.
DeleteAuditDataRequest deleteRequest = new DeleteAuditDataRequest();
deleteRequest.EndDate = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1);

// Check if partitions are not supported as is the case with SQL Server Standard edition.
if (partitions.IsLogicalCollection)
{
    // Delete all audit records created up until now.
    deleteRequest.EndDate = DateTime.Now;
}

// Otherwise, delete all partitions that are older than the current partition.
// Hint: The partitions in the collection are returned in sorted order where the 
// partition with the oldest end date is at index 0.
else
{
    for (int n = partitions.Count - 1; n >= 0; --n)
    {
        if (partitions[n].EndDate <= DateTime.Now && partitions[n].EndDate > deleteRequest.EndDate)
        {
            deleteRequest.EndDate = (DateTime)partitions[n].EndDate;
            break;
        }
    }
}

// Delete the audit records.
if (deleteRequest.EndDate != new DateTime(2000, 1, 1))
{
    service.Execute(deleteRequest);
    Console.WriteLine("Audit records have been deleted.");
}
else
    Console.WriteLine("There were no audit records that could be deleted.");


If you need help instantiating a service object in .NET within a plugin check out this post:
http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/04/instantiating-service-object-within.html

Now here is the Jscript nicely formatted by the CRM 2011 SOAP formatter. Available at: http://crm2011soap.codeplex.com/

Now in Jscript (first the RetrieveAuditPartitionListRequest)


Again, this is not necessary most likely, but it could be useful for filtering your delete based on end date.


This example is asynchronous, if you want to learn how to make JScript SOAP calls synchronously please visit this posthttp://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/07/using-jscript-to-access-soap-web.html

To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.DeleteAuditDataRequest function from your form jscript handler.
Thats all there is to it!

Clone a Contract in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript With CloneContractRequest

This illustration shows how to clone a contract in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with CloneContractRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).

Ok, here is what the code looks like!
First in C#:

CloneContractRequest req = new CloneContractRequest();
req.IncludeCanceledLines = true;

//specify contract we want to clone

Retrieve the Metadata for an Attribute in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript

This illustration shows how to retrieve metadata for an attribute in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with RetrieveAttributeRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).

Ok, here is what the code looks like!

RetrieveAttributeRequest req = new RetrieveAttributeRequest();
req.EntityLogicalName = "account";
req.LogicalName = "name";

RetrieveAttributeResponse resp = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)slos.Execute(req);

To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.RetrieveInstalledLanguagePacksRequest  function from your form jscript handler.
Thats all there is to it!

I hope this helps!
