Sample: Retrieve multiple records using the OData endpoint with JavaScript

  • Article

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:

SDK/SampleCode/JS/RESTEndpoint/JavaScriptRESTRetrieveMultiple

If you just want to see how this sample works you can install (import) the JavaScriptRESTRetrieveMultiple_1_0_0_0_managed.zip managed solution included in the download files. If you install this managed solution and want to create the Web resources using the names below, your solution publisher customization prefix cannot be “sample” unless you uninstall (delete) the managed solution.

Requirements

You can view this sample in the configuration page for the solution after you install it.

Sample User Interface

This sample uses the following four Web resources:

  • sample_/JavaScriptRESTRetrieveMultiple.htm
    An HTML page that provides the user interface and functions to call the SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords function to retrieve data. This page is set as the configuration page for the sample solution.

  • sample_/Scripts/json2.js
    The content of json2.js is not included. This file is a public domain library you can download here.

    This library provides a global JSON object that is not available in Internet Explorer 7.

  • sample_/Scripts/SDK.REST.js
    This JavaScript library provides the SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords function as well as other functions for using the REST endpoint for web resources.

  • sample_/Styles/JavaScriptRESTRetrieveMultiple.css
    This Cascading Style Sheet file provides styles for sample_/JavaScriptRESTRetrieveMultiple.htm.

Note

The customization prefix ” sample_” is not used in code. These samples will work using the customization prefix from any publisher. However the relative path of the simulated Scripts and Styles folder must be included in the name of the Web resources.

Demonstrates

By default the number of records returned by the REST Endpoint is limited to 50 records. This sample shows how to retrieve multiple records without regard to this limitation.

This sample uses the following approach:

  1. The document.onreadystatechange event handler includes code to set various UI elements to global variables, set the retrieveAccounts function as the click event handler for the Retrieve Accounts button (btnRetrieveAccounts), and then call the click method for the btnRetrieveAccounts button.

  2. The retrieveAccounts function clears the accountGrid and retrieves the number of records to retrieve from the numberOfAccountsToRetrieve select control. This value is appended to the OData System query options to be passed to the SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords options parameter.

  3. The SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords method accepts the following parameters:

    • type: The Schema Name of the Entity type record to retrieve. In this example uses “Account” so that account records are retrieved..

    • options: A String that represents the OData System Query Options to control the data returned. In this example the account Name and Telephone1 attributes are set and a $top query option is set to a value above the 50 record limit that is the default.

    • successCallback: The function that will be passed through and be called for each page of records returned. This example uses the retrieveAccountsCallBack function.

    • errorCallback: The function that will be passed through and be called by a failed response. This example uses an anonymous function that displays the message of any error using the alert function.

    • OnComplete: The function that will be called when all the requested records have been returned. This example uses the accountsRetrieveComplete function.

  4. The SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords function prepares an XMLHttpRequest to retrieve the requested account records and sends the request.

    • Within the request onreadystatechange event handler, the first 50 results are passed back to the retrieveAccountsCallBack function as the successCallback. This function generates HTML rows for each record and appends them to the accountsGrid table.

    • If the total number of records requested using the $top query option has not yet been retrieved, the __next object contains a URL to retrieve the next set of 50 records. The URL is manipulated to extract just the query options and then passed into the SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords function. This self-referential function call repeats until the requested number of records is returned or there are no more records to return.

    • When the __next object is no longer returned with the results, the accountsRetrieveComplete function is executed as the OnComplete function. This function sets the total number of records returned and displays a success message.

  5. After the page loads with the default values you can request a different number of records using the Maximum Number of Accounts to Retrieve (numberOfAccountsToRetrieve) select control and send another request by using the Retrieve Accounts (btnRetrieveAccounts) button.
