Web API Conditional Operations Sample

  • Статья

 

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

This group of samples demonstrate how to perform operations that are conditionally based upon the version of the entity record contained on the Dynamics 365 server and/or currently maintained by the client. For more information, see Perform conditional operations using the Web API. This sample is implemented as a separate project for the following languages:

Web API Conditional Operations Sample (C#)

Web API Conditional Operations Sample (Client-side JavaScript)

The Dynamics 365 Web API follows the conventions of the OData v4.0 protocol, which uses ETags to implement resource version control. Web API conditional operations depend upon this versioning mechanism.

This topic explains the structure and content of the samples at a higher, language-neutral level. It details the HTTP requests and responses, and the associated program output, where applicable. Review the linked sample topics above to obtain language-specific implementations and related details about how to perform the operations described in this topic.

Demonstrates

This sample is divided into three principal sections, listed in the following table. Each section contains a set of related Web API operations which are discussed in greater detail in the associated conceptual section of the topic Perform conditional operations using the Web API .

Limit upsert operations

The following sections contain a brief discussion of the Dynamics 365 Web API operations performed, along with the corresponding HTTP messages and associated console output which is the same for each language implementation. For brevity, less pertinent HTTP headers have been omitted. The URIs of the records will vary with the base organization address and the ID of the record assigned by your Dynamics 365 server.

Sample data

The sample creates the following record before the principal code sections are executed.

Entity type

Client-assigned properties

Server-assigned properties

account EntityType

Name: Contoso Ltd.
Revenue: 5000000
Telephone: 555-0000
Description: Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.

ID: 14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08
Initial Etag: W/"628448"

Conditional GET

This section of the program demonstrates how to perform conditional retrievals in order to optimize network bandwidth and server processing while still maintaining the most current record state on the client. More information: Conditional retrievals

  1. Attempt to retrieve the account Contoso Ltd. only if it does not match the current version, identified by the initial ETag value that was returned when the account record was created. This condition is represented by the If-None-Match header.

    HTTP Request

    GET http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08)?$select=name,revenue,telephone1,description HTTP/1.1
If-None-Match: W/"628448"
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified

    Console output

    Instance retrieved using ETag: W/"628448"
Expected outcome: Entity was not modified so nothing was returned.

    The response value, 304 Not Modified, indicates that the current record is the most current, so the server does not return the requested record in the response body.

  2. Update the account by modifying its primary telephone number property.

    HTTP Request

    PUT http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08)/telephone1 HTTP/1.1
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "value": "555-0001"
}

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

    Console output

    Account telephone number updated.

  3. Re-attempt the same conditional GET operation, again using the original ETag value. This time the operation returns the requested data because the version on the server is different (and newer) than the version identified in the request. As in all record retrievals, the response includes an ETag header that identifies the current version.

    HTTP Request

    GET http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08)?$select=name,revenue,telephone1,description HTTP/1.1
If-None-Match: W/"628448"
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
ETag: W/"628460"
{
  "@odata.context":"http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/$metadata#accounts(name,revenue,telephone1,description)/$entity",
  "@odata.etag":"W/\"628460\"",
  "name":"Contoso Ltd",
  "revenue":5000000.0000,
  "telephone1":"555-0001",
  "description":"Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.",
  "accountid":"14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08",
  "_transactioncurrencyid_value":"0d4ed62e-95f7-e511-80d1-00155da84c03"
}

    Console output

    Instance retrieved using ETag: W/"628448"
{
  "@odata.context": "http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/$metadata#accounts(name,revenue,telephone1,description)/$entity",
  "@odata.etag": "W/\"628460\"",
  "name": "Contoso Ltd",
  "revenue": 5000000.0,
  "telephone1": "555-0001",
  "description": "Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.",
  "accountid": "14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08",
  "_transactioncurrencyid_value": "0d4ed62e-95f7-e511-80d1-00155da84c03"
}

Optimistic concurrency on delete and update

This section of the program demonstrates how to perform conditional delete and update operations. The most common use for such operations is in implementing an optimistic concurrency approach to record processing in a multi-user environment. More information: Apply optimistic concurrency

  1. Attempt to delete original account if and only if it matches the original version (ETag value). This condition is represented by the If-Match header. This operation fails because the account record was updated in the previous section, so as a result, its version was updated on the server.

    HTTP Request

    DELETE http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
If-Match: W/"628448"
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
OData-Version: 4.0
{
  "error":{
    "code":"","message":"The version of the existing record doesn't match the RowVersion property provided.", . . .
    }
}

    Console output

    Expected Error: The version of the existing record doesn't match the property provided.
        Account not deleted using ETag 'W/"628448"', status code: '412'.

  2. Attempt to update the account if and only if it matches the original ETag value. Again, this condition is represented by the If-Match header and the operation fails for the same reason.

    HTTP Request

    PATCH http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
If-Match: W/"628448"
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
  "telephone1": "555-0002",
  "revenue": 6000000
}

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
OData-Version: 4.0
{
  "error":{
    "code":"","message":"The version of the existing record doesn't match the RowVersion property provided.", . . . 
  }
}

    Console output

    Expected Error: The version of the existing record doesn't match the property provided.
        Account not updated using ETag 'W/"628448"', status code: '412'.

  3. Re-attempt an update, but instead use the current ETag value obtained from the last record retrieval in the previous section.

    HTTP Request

    PATCH http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
If-Match: W/"628460"
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json
{
  "telephone1": "555-0003",
  "revenue": 6000000
}

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

    Console output

    Account successfully updated using ETag: W/"628460", status code: '204'.

  4. Confirm the update succeeded by retrieving and outputting the current account state. This uses a basic GET request.

    HTTP Request

    GET http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08)?$select=name,revenue,telephone1,description HTTP/1.1
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
ETag: W/"628461"
OData-Version: 4.0
{
  "@odata.context":"http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/$metadata#accounts(name,revenue,telephone1,description)/$entity",
  "@odata.etag":"W/\"628461\"",
  "name":"Contoso Ltd",
  "revenue":6000000.0000,
  "telephone1":"555-0003",
  "description":"Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.",
  "accountid":"14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08",
  "_transactioncurrencyid_value":"0d4ed62e-95f7-e511-80d1-00155da84c03"
}

    Console output

    {
  "@odata.context": "http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/$metadata#accounts(name,revenue,telephone1,description)/$entity",
  "@odata.etag": "W/\"628461\"",
  "name": "Contoso Ltd",
  "revenue": 6000000.0,
  "telephone1": "555-0003",
  "description": "Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.",
  "accountid": "14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08",
  "_transactioncurrencyid_value": "0d4ed62e-95f7-e511-80d1-00155da84c03"
}

Controlling upsert operations

This section of the program demonstrates how to perform conditional PATCH operations, limiting upsert operations to perform as either update-only or insert-only operations. More information: Limit upsert operations

  1. Attempt to insert, without updating, the primary telephone and revenue properties for this account. The If-None-Match header with the value of * represents this upsert condition. This operation fails because this account record still exists on the server (unless it was concurrently deleted by another user or process).

    HTTP Request

    PATCH http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
If-None-Match: *
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
  "telephone1": "555-0004",
  "revenue": 7500000
}

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
OData-Version: 4.0
{
  "error":{
    "code":"","message":"A record with matching key values already exists.", . . .
  }
}

    Console output

    Expected Error: A record with matching key values already exists.
        Account not updated using ETag 'W/"628448", status code: '412'.

  2. Attempt to perform the same update operation without creation. To accomplish this, the conditional If-Match header is used with a value of *. This operation succeeds because the record exists on the server.

    HTTP Request

    PATCH http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
If-Match: *
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
  "telephone1": "555-0005",
  "revenue": 7500000
}

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

    Console output

    Account updated using If-Match '*'

  3. Retrieve and output the current account state with a basic GET request. Note that the returned ETag value has changed to reflect the new, updated version of the account record.

    HTTP Request

    GET http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08)?$select=name,revenue,telephone1,description HTTP/1.1
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
ETag: W/"628463"
OData-Version: 4.0
{
  "@odata.context":"http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/$metadata#accounts(name,revenue,telephone1,description)/$entity",
  "@odata.etag":"W/\"628463\"",
  "name":"Contoso Ltd","revenue":7500000.0000,
  "telephone1":"555-0005",
  "description":"Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.",
  "accountid":"14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08",
  "_transactioncurrencyid_value":"0d4ed62e-95f7-e511-80d1-00155da84c03"
}

    Console output

    {
  "@odata.context": "http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/$metadata#accounts(name,revenue,telephone1,description)/$entity",
  "@odata.etag": "W/\"628463\"",
  "name": "Contoso Ltd",
  "revenue": 7500000.0,
  "telephone1": "555-0005",
  "description": "Parent company of Contoso Pharmaceuticals, etc.",
  "accountid": "14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08",
  "_transactioncurrencyid_value": "0d4ed62e-95f7-e511-80d1-00155da84c03"
}

  4. Delete the account with a basic DELETE.

    HTTP Request

    DELETE http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

    Console output

    Account was deleted.

  5. Just as in step 2, attempt to update the account if it exists. Again, this condition is represented by the If-Match header with a value of *. This operation fails because this record was just deleted. However, if this If-Match header was absent, then the resulting basic upsert operation should successfully create a new record.

    HTTP Request

    PATCH http://[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08) HTTP/1.1
If-Match: *
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{
  "telephone1": "555-0006",
  "revenue": 7500000
}

    HTTP Response

    HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: application/json; odata.metadata=minimal
OData-Version: 4.0
{
  "error":{
    "code":"","message":"account With Id = 14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08 Does Not Exist", . . .
  }
}

    Console output

    Expected Error: Account with Id = 14e151db-9b4f-e611-80e0-00155da84c08 does not exist.
Account not updated because it does not exist, status code: '404'.

There is no need to cleanup sample data because the one account record was already deleted in step 4.
