Synchronous methods to create, update and delete the records for the Account entity through JSON. These methods works synchronously.<\/p>\n

Create Records<\/strong>: To create the record into the CRM, you need to create an object for that record. After that you need to create the object of the XMLHttpRequest<\/strong> and open this request through \u201cPOST<\/strong>\u201d method and need to call the send method with this jsonEntity<\/strong> (create from the target record).<\/p>\n

function createRecord( ) {
\nvar account = new Object( );
\naccount.Name = “Create Sample”;
\naccount.Telephone1 = “555-0123”;
\naccount.AccountNumber = “ABCDEFGHIJ”;
\naccount.EMailAddress1 = “someone1@example.com<\/a>“;<\/p>\n

var jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(account);
\nvar createRecordReq = new XMLHttpRequest( );
\nvar ODataPath = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl( ) + “\/XRMServices\/2011\/OrganizationData.svc”;
\ncreateRecordReq.open(‘POST’, ODataPath + “\/” + “AccountSet”, false);
\ncreateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application\/json”);
\ncreateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “application\/json; charset=utf-8”);
\ncreateRecordReq.send(jsonEntity);<\/p>\n

var newRecord = JSON.parse(createRecordReq.responseText).d;
\n\/\/Alert the Id of the created record
\nalert(“Id is: ” + newRecord.AccountId);
\n}<\/p>\n

Update Record<\/strong>: Update record request is same as the create but for the Update we need to set the Additional request header for the Method in the XMLHttpRequest<\/strong>. Here we have added the \u201cMERGE<\/strong>\u201d method. As shown below.
\nupdateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“X-HTTP-Method”, “MERGE”);<\/p>\n

And when we open the request, we need to pass the guid of the record. As given in the below script.<\/p>\n

function updateRecord( ) {
\nvar account = Object( );
\naccount.Name = “Update Name of this Account”;
\nvar jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(account);
\nvar updateRecordReq = new XMLHttpRequest( );
\nvar ODataPath = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl( ) + “\/XRMServices\/2011\/OrganizationData.svc”;
\nupdateRecordReq.open(‘POST’, ODataPath + “\/” + “AccountSet” + “(guid'” + “E72B45B9-58E0-E011-B700-00155D005515” + “‘)”, false);
\nupdateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application\/json”);
\nupdateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “application\/json; charset=utf-8”);
\nupdateRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“X-HTTP-Method”, “MERGE”);
\nupdateRecordReq.send(jsonEntity);<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n

Delete Record<\/strong>: This is same as update request but here we need to call the Method delete and call send method with the null<\/strong> parameter.<\/p>\n

function deleteRecord( ) {
\nvar deleteRecordReq = new XMLHttpRequest( );
\nvar ODataPath = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl( ) + “\/XRMServices\/2011\/OrganizationData.svc”;
\ndeleteRecordReq.open(‘POST’, ODataPath + “\/” + “AccountSet” + “(guid'” + “E72B45B9-58E0-E011-B700-00155D005515” + “‘)”, false);<\/p>\n

deleteRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application\/json”);
\ndeleteRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “application\/json; charset=utf-8”);
\ndeleteRecordReq.setRequestHeader(“X-HTTP-Method”, “DELETE”);
\ndeleteRecordReq.send(null);<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n
