Sample: Bulk delete exported records

  • Artikkeli

This sample shows how to perform a bulk deletion of records that were previously exported from Microsoft Dataverse by using the Export to Excel option.

SDK for .NET: Bulk delete exported records sample code

How to run this sample

  1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
  2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
  3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you do not specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the dataverse/App.config file.

What this sample does

The BulkDeleteRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to create the bulk delete request.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

Setup

  1. Checks for the current version of the org.
  2. Query for a system user to send an email after bulk delete request operation completes.
  3. The BulkDeleteRequest creates the bulk delete process and set the request properties.
  4. The CheckSuccess method queries for the BulkDeleteOperation until it has been completed or until the designated time runs out. It then checks to see if the operation is complete.

Demonstrate

The PerformBulkDeleteBackup method performs the main bulk delete operation on inactive opportunities and activities to remove them from the system.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the sample data that is created in Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the tables and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
