Get IdentifyRef fileds data from TFS workitem - azure

I have a code that gets a WI Type [Code Review Response]. When trying to get the Created By field of the WI
field = {[System.CreatedBy, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.WebApi.IdentityRef]}
or Reviewed By, or Closed By field of the WI, I am getting the string Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.WebApi.IdentityRef and not the user name.
It seems there is another, lower level object in it that holds the user data...
How can i get into the user name and details?
For example, when I trying the following code:
WorkItem linked_WI = witClient.GetWorkItemAsync(linked_WI_ID).Result;
//set WI object to the linked WI
string linked_WI_Type = linked_WI.Fields["System.WorkItemType"].ToString();
if (linked_WI_Type == "Code Review Response")
{
string codereview_closed_status = linked_WI.Fields["Microsoft.VSTS.CodeReview.ClosedStatus"].ToString();
string codereview_reviewer = linked_WI.Fields["Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ReviewedBy"].ToString();
}
I am not getting the reviewer name but again the identity reference (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.WebApi.IdentityRef) as string.
How can I loop into the Idefntify Ref object and get the user name?

Try DisplayName property of IdentityRef object:
var person = (IdentityRef)linked_WI.Fields["Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ReviewedBy"];
string codereview_reviewer = person.DisplayName;

Putting string after a where clause in a soql query in salesforce

I have the filter logic parsed and put as a string in a variable called "where_clause". I have to use this where_clause in a query to fetch data.How can I use a string of this type after the where part of the query?I am working on salesforce with custom objects.
I suggest you check Dynamic SOQL.
In particular
String myTestString = 'TestName';
List<sObject> sobjList = Database.query('SELECT Id FROM MyCustomObject__c WHERE Name = :myTestString');
If you have your Custom Object as MyCustomObject__c
String myTestString = 'TestName';
List<MyCustomObject__c> sobjList = (List<MyCustomObject__c>)Database.query('SELECT Id FROM MyCustomObject__c WHERE Name = :myTestString');

Exporting Business Account attributes with Acumatica API

Our Business Accounts in Acumatica have 13 custom Attributes for our main Business Account Class. I've been able to save values to the Attributes successfully, based on Acumatica's example "Adding Records to the Business Accounts and Opportunities Forms". But I have not been able to figure out how to retrieve the values with an Export.
First, I tried using a format similar to how the field was specified when saving them.
Public Function GetCustomerAttributes(ByVal customerID As String) As String()()
Dim customer As CR303000Content = m_context.CR303000GetSchema()
m_context.CR303000Clear()
Dim idFilter As Filter = New Filter()
idFilter.Field = customer.AccountSummary.BusinessAccount
idFilter.Condition = FilterCondition.Equals
idFilter.Value = customerID
' SIMILAR TO EXAMPLE FOR SAVING
Dim awdField As Field = New Field()
awdField.ObjectName = customer.Attributes.Attribute.ObjectName
awdField.FieldName = "AWD Number"
Dim searchfilters() As Filter = {idFilter}
Dim searchCommands() As Command = {awdField}
Dim searchResult As String()() = m_context.CR303000Export(searchCommands, searchfilters, 0, False, False)
Return searchResult
End Function
I thought this would return one result with the value for our attribute named "AWD Number". Instead, it returned 13 results, one for each attribute, and the value of each one was blank. I changed the FieldName to customer.Attributes.Attribute.FieldName and then it started returning the name of each attribute. So I thought if I added another field for the value, then I might get the name and value in separate results, like this:
Public Function GetCustomerAttributes(ByVal customerID As String) As String()()
Dim customer As CR303000Content = m_context.CR303000GetSchema()
m_context.CR303000Clear()
Dim idFilter As Filter = New Filter()
idFilter.Field = customer.AccountSummary.BusinessAccount
idFilter.Condition = FilterCondition.Equals
idFilter.Value = customerID
Dim awdField As Field = New Field()
awdField.ObjectName = customer.Attributes.Attribute.ObjectName
awdField.FieldName = customer.Attributes.Attribute.FieldName
Dim awdValue As Field = New Field()
awdValue.ObjectName = customer.Attributes.Attribute.ObjectName
awdValue.FieldName = customer.Attributes.Attribute.Value
Dim searchfilters() As Filter = {idFilter}
Dim searchCommands() As Command = {awdField, awdValue}
Dim searchResult As String()() = m_context.CR303000Export(searchCommands, searchfilters, 0, False, False)
Return searchResult
End Function
I did get a 2-item array back for each of the 13 results, but the value in the second field was still blank.
Does anyone know how I can get the values? I don't really care if I have to get them one at a time, but I'd prefer to get them all at once with their names or codes so that I don't have to rely on the indices always staying the same. Below are images of the debugger running on my second example and view in Acumatica. Thanks!
Your first attempt is correct, however you're not using the right object name and field name. The system will dynamically add fields to the primary object (view) of the screen, in this case the object name represented by customer.AccountSummary.BusinessAccount.ObjectName variable (I suggest you use the debugger to see what this value equals too - good learning exercise).
The attribute field name will use the same naming convention as used in How To Retrieve An Attribute Field In StockItems In Acumatica API?. The naming convention is _Attributes. The attribute ID is not the attribute name; I don't see your configuration but I doubt in your case the Attribute ID is "AWD Number". To summarize, the code will look like:
Dim awdField As Field = New Field()
awdField.ObjectName = customer.AccountSummary.BusinessAccount.ObjectName
awdField.FieldName = "AWDNumber_Attributes"
In your example, by putting the Attributes.Attribute.ObjectName object, the system will iterate through all values inside this table, and then return for every row the fields you want. I'm not exactly sure why you're not seeing all the attribute values in this case, but I think you should be fine with the example above.

The Requested Resources was not found or you do not have sufficient permissions to view it

Dynamics crm when retrieving value and updating it into another entity it showing like
The Requested Resources was not found or you do not have sufficient permissions to view it
i specified update ids like
enobj.Id=(Guid)context.OutputParameters["id"];
message:create
service :update on another entity
this is my code:
Query Expression query = new Query Expression();
query.EntityName = en.LogicalName;
query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("new_amount");
var x = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
Entity enobj = new Entity("new_product");
int i = 0;
foreach (var item in x.Entities)
{
i = i + (int)item.Attributes["new_amount"];
enobj.Attributes["new_grandtotal"] = i;
}
enobj.Id=(Guid)context.OutputParameters["id"];
// en.Id = enobj.Id;
enobj.Id = en.Id;
service.Update(enobj);
message:create
service :update
i have two entites product and productlineitems
in productlineitems iam creating a record with the field amount 50 after creating that value.iam updating on product entity.
again i create productlineitem 2 with the value some 90.iam adding 50+90 =140
again lineitem 3 with the value. iam taking that on product entity
message:create --- productlineitems
service :update --- product
I think you are trying to update Product with Product Line Id. Try the following:
Replace
enobj.Id = en.Id;
With
// set the field name (key) based on what you got in system
enobj.Id = (Guid)en["new_productid"];
Also, Calling Context is set to Current user. So make sure that user have permissions to update Product.

Creating a case in plugin, want to use its ticketnumber immediately

I have a plugin where i am creating a new case and I want to send an email out as it is created including its ticketnumber. I have attempted just to call this in the plugin but it is coming back saying that it is not present in the dictionary. I know this field is populated using CRM's own autonumbering so what i'm guessing is happening is that my plugin is firing and creating the case but then i'm trying to use this field before the autonumber has completed.
So is there a way that i can get my plugin to "wait" until this field is available and then use it?
Thanks
EDIT: Code below:
string emailBody = entity.Attributes["description"].ToString();
int bodyLength = emailBody.Length;
int textStart = emailBody.IndexOf(">") + 1;
int newLength = bodyLength - (textStart + 7);
string description = emailBody.Substring(textStart, newLength);
//create complaint
Entity complaint = new Entity("incident");
complaint["description"] = description;
complaint["ts_case_type"] = 717750001;
complaint["ts_registration_datetime"] = DateTime.Now;
complaint["ownerid"] = Owner;
complaint["customerid"] = Organisation;
Service.Create(complaint);
As a side I would suggest sending the email with a workflow if possible, it will be far easier to maintain in the long run and quicker to implement in the short.
In any case to answer your question, from what you have here you need to update your code to retrieve the ticketnumber once you have created the incident. You can do this with a Retrieve message.
For example:
//Create the complaint
Entity complaint = new Entity("incident");
//This is the information that is being sent to the server,
//it will not be updated by CRM with any additional information post creation
complaint["description"] = description;
complaint["ts_case_type"] = 717750001;
complaint["ts_registration_datetime"] = DateTime.Now;
complaint["ownerid"] = Owner;
complaint["customerid"] = Organisation;
//Capture the id of the complaint, we will need this in a moment
Guid complaintId = Service.Create(complaint);
//complaint["ticketnumber"] <-- The server does not populate this information in your object
//Retrieve the ticketnumber from the incident we just created
Entity complaintRetrieved = service.Retrieve("incident", complaintId, new ColumnSet("ticketnumber"));
//Get the ticketnumber
String ticketNumber = (String)complaintRetrieved.Attributes["ticketnumber"];
Like James said in comment, if you just want to send email with some case properties, it is best to do that with workflow (on case create).
In your plugin, ID is generated, and you can get it with:
entity.Attributes["ticketnumber"]

Query on object id in VQL

I'm currently working with the versant object database (using jvi), and have a case where I need to query the database based on an object id.
The problem is I'm running some performance tests on the database using the pole position framework, and one of the tests in that framework requires me to fetch an object from the database using either an object reference or a low level object id. Thus, I'm not allowed to reference specific fields in the employee object, but must perform the query on the object in its entirety. So, it's not allowed for me to go "select * from Employee e where e.id = 4", I need it to use the entire object.
What I'm trying to achieve is something along the lines of
Employee employee = new Employee("Mr. Pickles");
session.commit();
FundVQLQuery q = new FundVQLQuery(session,
"select * from Employee employee where employee = $1");
q.bind(employee);
q.execute();
However, this throws an EVJ_NOT_A_VALID_KEY_TYPE error. Does anyone know the correct way of doing this?
Sure you figured this out (post was months ago). What you want to do is use the GetObjectId first, to get the VOD Id of the object, then query the DB;
id = session.GetObjectId(employee);
This is how I did the whole roundtrip object → OID → object:
First you get the OID with TransSession.getOidAsLong.
TransSession session = ...;
Employee employee = new Employee("Mr. Pickles");
long oid = TransSession.getOidAsLong(employee);
session.commit();
Once you have the object ID, just grab the object from its Handle.
TransSession session = ...;
Employee employee = (Employee)session.returnHandleFromLong(oid).handleToObject();
No VQL needed.
Usually keys are integers and not strings. You are creating an Employee using just his name, perhaps the correct identifier to use is his employeeId. I need some more information on the table to know for sure.
You can try this,
FundVQLQuery vql = FundVQLQuery (session,
"select selfoid from Employee where name = $1");
vql.bind ("Mr. Pickles");
HandleEnumeration e = vql.execute ();
while ( e.hasmoreHandles() ) {
Handle handle = e.nexthandle();
}
It will return all Employees with the name "Mr. Pickles", Then loop through them.
