Hi,
I'm trying to use JavaScript (on the account entity) to create a new case. I really didn't have a good guess as to how I should try to do this, but I've been able to find plenty examples online where someone was trying to create a new Account using
JavaScript. Should be simple enough to alter that code to do it with a case (incident) instead. Right? It seems not. I'm getting an error I can't figure out.
I will mention first that I've got json2, and jquery-1.5.min included.
Here's the function that I'm calling, which fails:
// JScript source code
function createDemographicCase() {
var context = Xrm.Page.context;
var serverUrl = context.getServerUrl();
var ODATA_ENDPOINT = "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";
var incident = new Object();
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Specify the ODATA entity collection
var ODATA_EntityCollection = "/IncidentSet";
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Define attribute values for the CRM object you want created
incident.Title= "Demographic Change";
incident.OwnerId = "939E11B8-8713-E411-A4E2-005056B32356";
incident.New_ContactType = "1";
incident.SubjectId= "8AC1C653-8DFD-E511-A878-005056B32ED4";
incident.StateCode = "0";
incident.OwnerIdType = "8";
incident.CustomerId = "7B70229A-D285-DE11-BC81-0050568F7B78";
//Parse the entity object into JSON
var jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(incident);
//Asynchronous AJAX function to Create a CRM record using OData
$.ajax({ type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datatype: "json",
url: serverUrl + ODATA_ENDPOINT + ODATA_EntityCollection,
data: jsonEntity,
beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
//Specifying this header ensures that the results will be returned as JSON.
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
},
success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {
alert("success");
var NewCRMRecordCreated = data["d"];
alert("CRM GUID created: " + NewCRMRecordCreated.IncidentId);
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("failure");
}
});
}
(The hard coded values are all valid.... so long as I'm handling those GUIDs correctly, but I believe I am. I will be passing parameters into the function to set various fields later. I just assigned those fields like this because they're the "required"
fields - though I also don't believe I actually need all of them set for this to work. The original code for creating an Account worked, without setting all the required fields).
Anyway, the error this will return is: "Error processing request stream. The request should be a valid top-level resource object."
I'm assuming that with the case entity in particular I'm missing something that's required? Anyone have any ideas?
