I have created a plugin for the entity Contacts, however when a lead is set to "Qualify" and create new account and contact is selected, my plugin is firing which is causing a error message to appear
Within my plugin I did include the following
if (entity.LogicalName == "contact")
Which I believed would stop this from happening
Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations of action to take to prevent this, as switching my Contact plugin to only execute on Update isn't an option
As you have mentioned that you are getting an error The given key is does not exist in the current context. I would recommend you to debug the plugin to check which key is missing and put that code in if condition if its possible in your scenario.
if(!entity.Contains("keyName"))
{
entity.AddAttibute("keyname");
}
Or you can check if originatingleadid is not null. If Messagename is Create and originatingleadid have value then contact is created from lead.
If (context.MessageName.ToLower() == "create"
&& entity.Contains("originatingleadid") && entity["originatingleadid"] != null)
{
// Do Nothing
return;
}
else
{
// Run your plugin code
}

I'm currently building a new moodle plugin. I'm using add_moduleinfo and update_moduleinfo. To add a new attandance atictivity in a course and update it later on.
Sadly I'm facing the issue that update_moduleinfo always throws an "invalid course module id" error. I already checked the cm entry in my database to ensure im using the right module instance.
I dont really know what to do.
$cm = get_coursemodule_from_instance($moduleName, $activityID, $course->id);
$moduleinfo = update_moduleinfo($cm, $moduleinfo, $course); <-- Error
Thats how I try to update the entry.
I also found that post. Didn't help anything.
Moodle - Invalid course module ID
I found the issue myself:
$moduleinfo->introeditor['format'] = FORMAT_HTML;
$moduleinfo->introeditor['text'] = "INTRO TEXT";
$moduleinfo->coursemodule = $cm->id;
list($cm, $moduleinfo) = update_moduleinfo($cm, $moduleinfo, $course, null);
In order to use this function the above mentioned properties need to exist in order to perform a update.
I'm writing an auto number plugin for MS Dynamics CRM 2015. It works on the creation of an opportunity, when a new number needs to be generated. The current number is stored in another entity, which is retrieved at the time of creating the opportunity and then adds 1. The auto number entity is then updated with the new number (except it isn't as this isn't working at the moment).
At the moment the number is retrieved and 1 is added to it and is used in the opportunity correctly. However, as the update to the auto number entity does not occur when another opportunity is created it gets the same number as the previous one.
Here's my plugin code so far:
protected void ExecuteGenerateOpportunityAutoNumber(LocalPluginContext localContext)
{
if (localContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("localContext");
}
IPluginExecutionContext context = localContext.PluginExecutionContext;
IOrganizationService service = localContext.OrganizationService;
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
if (entity.LogicalName == OPPORTUNITY_ENTITY_NAME)
{
if (!entity.Attributes.Contains(OPPORTUNITY_REF_ID))
{
try
{
string newId = RetrieveAndUpdateLastId(service);
entity.Attributes.Add(OPPORTUNITY_REF_ID, newId);
}
catch (FaultException ex)
{
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("GenerateOpportunityAutoNumber plugin error: ", ex);
//tracingService.Trace("GenerateOpportunityAutoNumber plugin error: {0}", ex.Message);
}
}
}
}
}
The RetrieveAndUpdateLastId method code is below:
private string RetrieveAndUpdateLastId(IOrganizationService service)
{
lock (lastIdentifierLock)
{
string result = null;
ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet();
cols.AddColumns(LAST_REF_LAST_VALUE, LAST_REF_PRIMARY_KEY);
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression();
query.ColumnSet = cols;
query.EntityName = LAST_REF_ENTITY_NAME;
EntityCollection ec = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
if (ec.Entities.Count >= 1)
{
foreach (Entity identifier in ec.Entities)
{
if (identifier.Attributes.Contains(LAST_REF_LAST_VALUE))
{
int? lastValue = identifier[LAST_REF_LAST_VALUE] as int?;
if (lastValue != null)
{
string newValue = (lastValue.Value + 1).ToString().PadLeft(7, '0');
result = String.Format("SN{0}", newValue); //This is clearly happening as I'm getting the next number back.
identifier[LAST_REF_LAST_VALUE] = lastValue.Value + 1;
//Tried this also:
//identifier.Attributes.Remove(LAST_REF_LAST_VALUE);
//identifier.Attributes.Add(LAST_REF_LAST_VALUE, lastValue.Value + 1);
service.Update(identifier); //This doesn't seem to be happening.
break;
}
}
}
}
return result;
}
}
No error is thrown but the update of the auto number just isn't happening. I've checked the user I'm running this as has the required update privileges on the auto number entity as well. Any ideas?
UPDATE
After debugging I found that it was throwing an error that the Principal user is missing the prvWrite privilege. This would explain why the update isn't happening, but now raises another issue. I've setup the plugin to run as a specific user (one with the correct privileges), but the Guid of the 'Principal user' in the error was of the calling user. Why would it run as the calling user when I've set it up to use a specific user?
UPDATE 2
I think I may have found the issue but wonder if anyone else can confirm / shed some more light on this. It seems that according to this, the issue may lie with the user not being in a specific AD group, specifically
User account (A) needs the privilege prvActOnBehalfOfAnotherUser,
which is included in the Delegate role.
Alternately, for Active Directory directory service deployments only,
user account (A) under which the impersonation code is to run can be
added to the PrivUserGroup group in Active Directory. This group is
created by Microsoft Dynamics CRM during installation and setup. User
account (A) does not have to be associated with a licensed Microsoft
Dynamics CRM user. However, the user who is being impersonated (B)
must be a licensed Microsoft Dynamics CRM user.
For my purposes I think the user I'm trying to run as needs to be in PrivUserGroup in AD (which it's not), otherwise it defaults to the calling user.
UPDATE 3
I've been able to identify 2 fundamental problems. The first is as explained above, in that the context always runs as the calling user. The 2nd is that when either giving the calling user system admin privileges OR creating the IOrganizationService with a null parameter it still doesn't update. HOWEVER, and this seems very odd, these 2 scenarios DO work when profiling the plugin. Why would this be?
UPDATE 4
It seems I may have resolved the issue, though I'm not certain (hence why I've not written an answer as yet). As per the documentation we've added the user to be impersonated into the PrivUserGroup. The plugin now works. However, I don't understand why this is needed. Also, is this best practice in this scenario or have I done something that should never be done?
On a related note I also unregistered the plugin before deploying it this time, so I'm now wondering if this solved this issue. To confirm I've now removed the user from the PrivUserGroup in AD, but this takes some time (not sure exactly how long) to filter through apparently. If it still works then it looks like this actually resolved it. Do you normally need to unregister a plugin before re-deploying it to make sure it works?
UPDATE 5
Ok, so this if my final update. I'm not marking this as the answer as I'm not 100% certain, but it appears that removing the assembly using the plugin registration tool may have done the trick. From everything I've read you shouldn't need to unregister a plugin to redeploy, so my perhaps my assembly was corrupt somehow and by removing it and creating it again using the new assembly solve the issue. Unfortunately I don't have the original assembly to test with.
I would suggest to debug your plugin. Following article contains a video that describes how to debug plugins using Plugin Debugger and Plugin Regitration Tool - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/devkeydet/archive/2015/02/17/debug-crm-online-plugins.aspx
Updated How to have 2 instances of IOrganizationService for user context and system:
Open Plugin.cs file.
Locate following code:
internal IOrganizationService OrganizationService
{
get;
private set;
}
Add following code after:
internal IOrganizationService SystemOrganizationService
{
get;
private set;
}
Find following code:
// Use the factory to generate the Organization Service.
this.OrganizationService = factory.CreateOrganizationService(this.PluginExecutionContext.UserId);
Add following code after:
this.SystemOrganizationService = factory.CreateOrganizationService(null);
Use this instance of IOrganizationService in the place where you need higher level of privileges.
May be, This has been discussed many times. But, I am not clear on how #javax.annotation.nullable and notnull works in Eclipse. I have the below code in eclipse.
if(null != getApplicant()){
name = getApplicant().getName(); //Potential null pointer access
}
Wherein, getApplication() is annotated with #Nullable.
In the above code, I have verified against null before accessing it. But, still I get error here by compiler. The same code works fine Intellij. (Most of the developers in my team use this :().
Kindly tell me how can I get this #javax.annotation.Nullable and #javax.annotation.Notnull worked in eclipse in similar way to Intellij. I dont want to change my IDE just for this different behavior.
There's no assurance to the compiler that calling getApplication() the second time returns a non-null result as it did the first time. Store it in a local for the test and then use that within the if block.
Eclipse warns you, that the second method access could potentially return null. Example code to reproduce nullpointer:
public class A {
int numberCalls;
Applicant getApplicant() {
if (numberCalls++ > 3)
return null;
else
return new Applicant();
}
}
I would suggest to implement your call like this:
Applicant applicant = getApplicant();
if(null != applicant){
name = applicant.getName(); //not anymore Potential null pointer access
}
I want to create a reusable sub processes in jbpm 6, but I cant't see any processes in Called Element pop up. It doesn't load any process information. Please can anyone give me the reason for this situation?
I'm not sure I completely understand your question/issue. However, I have successfully used reusable suprosses in JBPM 6.1.0.Final and eclipse.
These are steps:
Create a resuable subprocess with and ID. Make note the ID for steps 2-5.
Drag and Drop a "Call Activity" Activity to the bpmn
Edit the properties of the "Call Activity" - click on "Call Activity" and go to eclipse properties tab.
Click on "pencil" edit icon:
Enter the reusable subprocess id in edit window and type reusable subprosses id and hit o.k.
You should be able to run you bpmn and see the execution of subprocess.
I've just hitted this error today at work, using 6.1.0.Final. If process id has underscores it will not show in workbench called activity popup. Look at the sources:
Asset<String> processContent = ServletUtil.getProcessSourceContent(p, profile);
Pattern idPattern = Pattern.compile("<\\S*process[^\"]+id=\"([^_\"]+)\"", Pattern.MULTILINE);
Matcher idMatcher = idPattern.matcher(processContent.getAssetContent());
if(idMatcher.find()) {
String pid = idMatcher.group(1);
String pidcontent = ServletUtil.getProcessImageContent(processContent.getAssetLocation(), pid, profile);
if(pid != null && !(packageName.equals(processPackage) && pid.equals(processId))) {
processInfo.put(pid+"|"+processContent.getAssetLocation(), pidcontent != null ? pidcontent : "");
}
}
That regex used to get process id will not match "_". Check that your process id is valid.
I am trying to get a plugin registered on the case ("incident") create post synchronous event to successfully call the CloseIncidentRequest. I have the CloseIncidentRequest working successfully on the case update post event but on the create I keep getting the "Need to start a transaction before commit" exception.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue, or has anyone got this running on the case create post event? I have seen posts around changing from synchronous to asynch - and if I change the plugin to run asynch, that does work - but ideally I want this to run this synchronously, so that the user can see that the case has been resolved when pressing save.
private const int IncidentResolutionStatus_Closed = 2;
private const int IncidentStatusCode_ProblemSolved = 5;
Entity resolution = new Entity("incidentresolution");
resolution["subject"] = "Case Resolved";
resolution["incidentid"] = new EntityReference("incident", IncidentId);
resolution["timespent"] = timespent;
resolution["statuscode"] = new OptionSetValue(IncidentResolutionStatus_Closed);
CloseIncidentRequest closeincidentRequest = new CloseIncidentRequest()
{
IncidentResolution = resolution,
Status = new OptionSetValue((int)IncidentStatusCode_ProblemSolved)
};
service.Execute(closeincidentRequest);
Try resolving the case manually (through the CRM interface) and you probably will get the same error (like me).
If so it's not related to your plugin code (or SDK), but on some missing information when you created the case.
Check if on the case you are trying to resolve there is no missing required field. In my case the error was that the Client name was null (there was a client record but its name was null) and it was causing the error.
