Introduction:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

While working on Dynamics 365, we get a chance to work on lot many things.<\/p>\n

At times you work on C# or JavaScript or SSRS or SSIS. Having knowledge of so many languages, frameworks, or technologies could be taxing.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we face errors while developing something and don\u2019t have control over how it could be fixed.<\/p>\n

One such thing was executing Action using Web API.<\/p>\n

Prior to v9.0 update, if we tried executing Actions, having combination of complex and simple output parameters would result in errors like, Resource not found for the segment ‘ActionName’ <\/strong>or Request message has unresolved parameters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In order to understand what complex and simple parameters are, please check a very well explained blog<\/a> written by Andrew Butenko.<\/p>\n

Now, in v9.0 we don\u2019t have to worry about the combinations of the output parameters.<\/p>\n

Irrespective of the combination of the output parameters, we are able to execute the Action.<\/p>\n

Code Snippet:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
function executeAction(accountId, actionName, clientUrl) {\n    var functionName = \"executeAction >>\";\n    var query = \"\";\n    try {\n\n        \/\/Define the query to execute the action\n        query = \"accounts(\" + accountId + \")\/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.\"+actionName;\n\n        var req = new XMLHttpRequest();\n        req.open(\"POST\", clientUrl + \"\/api\/data\/v9.0\/\" + query, true);\n        req.setRequestHeader(\"Accept\", \"application\/json\");\n        req.setRequestHeader(\"Content-Type\", \"application\/json; charset=utf-8\");\n        req.setRequestHeader(\"OData-MaxVersion\", \"4.0\");\n        req.setRequestHeader(\"OData-Version\", \"4.0\");\n\n        req.onreadystatechange = function () {\n\n            if (this.readyState == 4 \/* complete *\/) {\n                req.onreadystatechange = null;\n\n                if (this.status == 200) {\n                    \/\/success callback\n                    var result = JSON.parse(this.response);\n\n\n                } else {\n                    \/\/error callback\n                    var error = JSON.parse(this.response).error;\n                }\n            }\n        };\n        req.send(JSON.stringify(data));\n\n    } catch (e) {\n        throwError(functionName, e);\n    }\n}\n<\/pre>\n
Conclusion:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
We can combine simple and complex output parameters and still execute the Action through Web API in Dynamics 365 v9.0<\/p>\n
