MS Dynamics: retrieve the schema of entities to use it in SOAP? - soap

I'm trying to add some entities via a SOAP client, to MS Dynamics (online). My client is not a Microsoft client.
Do you know a way to retrieve the schema of Entities like Account, Prospect etc... I would like to know how . I really need to know it , for integration with different installations of Dynamics.
I'd like to know the fields and when to put a String a Boolean etc.
I use a Demo instance of MS CRM online, from scratch, I did not change anything
Thanks!!

You can get metadata about an entity or just one attribute on an entity by using a request. Here is a link to an example
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg594428.aspx

If you are looking to retrieve this information programmatically then follow Kevin Ross's answer above.
If you want to browse this information you can use the SDK Metadata Browser solution.
The Dynamics CRM Metadata Browser is in the SDK (SDK\Tools\MetadataBrowser). You can download the SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40321.
Follow the README.DOCX that is in the SDK\Tools\MetadaraBrowser and you'll be able to see all the information necessary for manually building your SOAP calls.
Here is what it looks like:

Magento to salesforce integration

I have a magento ecommerce web application want to sync my data from magento to salesforce and vice versa
I thought this would be as simple as collecting their salesforce.com credentials to open a connection to salesforce.com and pull down their customer,product and contact.
But it does not look that easy! For one, I cannot find a global API. Apparently, each salesforce.com company has to "generate" their own WSDLs .Don’t have much idea on rest api, where I don’t have to generate wsdl for each different company.
I have done lots of research on this could not find any proper solution Most of the vendors are using soap api where I need to follow same process that is every time I need to generate WSDLs for each company…
Each company is different that's why you need to generate a different structure.
I would recommend this solution: https://products.crunchyconsulting.com/crunchy-products/crunchy-magforce.html with some customizations available if you ask for it.

What are the ways available to connect iOS app to fetch data from or via microsoft dynamics crm 2011? [duplicate]

I'm looking to interact with my Microsoft Dynamics CRM system from my iPhone, performing tasks such as pulling down, updating, creating and deleting records.
Is this possible? If so, can anyone link me to any good resources on the matter or provide me with any information you feel would be relevant?
Many thanks,
Jack
Yes this will be possible and there are at least some relevant pointers in the CRM SDK (Development from Non-.NET Clients in Microsoft Dynamics CRM) however general support and anecdotal information is sparse (in fact the referenced topic and it's links are all that exist in an official sense).
You will be accessing via the SOAP endpoint and the link to the WSDL for that is exposed via the CRM UI (Settings > Customizations > Developer Resources).
I'd start with downloading the CRM SDK and reading the topics I linked to.
Caveat - I know nothing of Objective-C or IOS
I don't know anything about this, but maybe that'll help: http://www.cwrmobility.com/
If your looking to develop something yourlself, this might help: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13621
It is possible, you'll need to use the web services API.
MSDN web services API docs
It uses JScript, so on the iPhone, you should use NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection to retrieve the data coming back.
Here is another link for using JSON, as iOS has a JSON parser built in now

SugarCrm Synchronization with other applications

I am new to SugarCRM, i have created SugarCRM's web to lead form on my website which is having four fields i.e. frist name, last name, address and phone . On submit this info get updated in SugarCRM in Leadlist. Now the requirement is whenever any update happens on SugarCRM, I have to update other data source, in this case marklogic. I want to keep same data on sugar and marklogic.
Whenever any update triggers the SugarCRM it should send some webservice or other method with updated information to marklogic, so that marklogic data should be in sync.
How can I do that? Any suggestion would be a great help.
Thanks.
Check out the new REST interface in MarkLogic 6, specifically the CRUD APIs. Using these you should be able to pretty easily make webservice updates to the database without writing any xQuery.

How do I retrieve incident work items from BMC Remedy ARS via the SOAP interface?

I'm using the Helpdesk_Query_Service method from the HPD_IncidentInterface web service in BMC Remedy ARS 7.5 to retrieve incident data. I can get the top-level incident data as expected, but I don't see any way to retrieve associated work items. The ITSM Integrations guide is extremely light on details. How do I get the work items out?
You need to create webservice for the form where the data is. Ie if the work item information is in the form HPD:WorkLog then you will need to create a webservice for this form.
Once the webservice has been created (and you've mapped the fields across) you can begin consuming it. The webservice will also appear on your list of webservices.
I am not 100% sure but the Remedy 7.5 out of the box installation does not have allot of ready-made webservices.
