  Hi Maryam,

  please check if any of your plugin is catching exception and and not processing it properly or hiding it?

  Thanks so much for the response.

  I have only on plugin running on contact, Which validate a value of a custom field if it is not empty. For the above issue the value of this field is empty as the contact is created automatically.

  Is it possible that I am missing any security setting?

  
  

  Thanks,

  Hi, Your plugin might be throwing an exception and losing the transaction context. Could you please post the section of code?. You could modify the section of code to insert a default value when the field is empty based on the business requirement. Regards Jithesh

  Hi,

  Below please find the code for the contact plugin. 

  Back to your point it should not through any error. If it does something is wrong with my plugin perhaps. Also there is no business rule to insert a default value .

  
  

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
  using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
  using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;
  
  
  namespace Contact.Validation
  {
      /
      public class ContactValidation :IPlugin
      {
  
          const string entityName = "contact";
  
          #region Iplugin Member
          public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
          {
  
              // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
              var context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
                  serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
  
              var serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
              var service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
  
              ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
              if (tracingService == null)
              {
                  throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Failed to retrieve tracing service in ContactValidation plugin. Please contact your administartior.");
              }
  
              //Verify message context
              if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
                  context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity &&
                  context.PrimaryEntityName == entityName)
              {
  
                  Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
  
                  //Check UniqueId
  
                  if (entity.Attributes.Contains("pcx_UniqueId"))
                  {
                      string UniqueId = entity.Attributes["pcx_UniqueId"].ToString();
  
                      tracingService.Trace("UniqueId is set to: " + UniqueId);  
  
                      Regex regex = new Regex(@"\d{9}");
                      if (!(regex.IsMatch(UniqueId)))
                      {
                          throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("The UniqueId must be a 9 digit number");
                      }
  
                      //Check Contact duplication 
                      var fetchXml = string.Format(@"
                                  <fetch mapping='logical' aggregate='true'>
                                  <entity name='contact'>
                                  <attribute name='contactid' aggregate='count' alias='count'/>
                                  <filter>
                                      <condition attribute='pcx_UniqueId' operator='eq' value='{0}'/>
                                  </filter>
                                  </entity>
                                  </fetch>", UniqueId);
  
                      EntityCollection queryResult = service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(fetchXml));
  
                      bool hasDuplicateUniqueId = (int)(((AliasedValue)queryResult[0]["count"]).Value) > 0 ? true : false;
  
                      if (hasDuplicateUniqueId)
                      {
                          tracingService.Trace("There is/are " + (int)(((AliasedValue)queryResult[0]["count"]).Value) + " contacts with the same UniqueId.");  
                          throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Another Contact already exists with the same UniqueId.");
                      }
                  }
              }
              else
              {
                  throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("ContactValidation plugin is not registered correctly. Please contact your system administrator.");
              }
  
  
          }
          #endregion Iplugin Member
      }
  }

  Hi Maryam,

  you have to debug the plugin to find what is happening. or look at the traces - to check where the exception is triggered. One possibility is the string is null and throwing exception

  Either

  // replace 
  if (!(regex.IsMatch(UniqueId)))
  // with
  if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(UniqueId) || (!(regex.IsMatch(UniqueId)))

  Or convert the uid to int.

  Int32 UniqueId = entity.GetAttributeValue<Int32>("pcx_UniqueId");

  and compare. 

  Regards,

  Jithesh

  Before you do this, can you disable the plugin and then try tracking the item again? This will tell you if it is in fact the plugin causing the issue and will save you having to debug.

  But this senario can not happen because in My code I am checking 

  if (entity.Attributes.Contains("pcx_UniqueId")) then perform the Logic

  Also if you look at the 3 errors that I post above none of them are very meaningfull to me.

  I wonder if I am missing any security configuration that is causing this issue?

  Also for debugging I need to have Visual studio on the client machine. I don't have at at the moment :(

  Thanks,

  You have already specified that the code works well when the value if field is empty. Why do you suspect security issue?

  please see the verified answer for the following post.

  similar to my reply( int used in my sample, you  can turn this to string if you wish)
