Hi all,
Does anybody know if batch requests in CRM 8.2 on premise support reference params? Basically I'm trying to create records in the batch request that depend on records created earlier in the change set.
Per MS documentation "You can use $parameter such as $1, $2, etc to reference URIs used in an earlier changeset in a batch request. This section shows various examples on how $parameter can be used in the request body of a batch operation to reference URIs." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/webapi/execute-batch-operations-using-web-api
I have the following function to test
function testBatchRequestReferences() {
var data = [];
var account = { name: "Test Account - bulk entry references" };
var contact = { firstname: "Tester", lastname: "bulk entry" };
account["primarycontactid@odata.bind"] = "$1";
var d = new Date();
var batch = "batch_" + d.toString().replace(/ |:/g, "_").replace(/\(|\)/g, '');
var changeset = "changeset_" + d.toString().replace(/ |:/g, "_").replace(/\(|\)/g, '');
data.push("--" + batch);
data.push('Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=' + changeset);
data.push('');
data.push('--' + changeset);
data.push('Content-Type:application/http');
data.push('Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary');
data.push('Content-ID:' + 1);
data.push('');
data.push('POST ' + parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + '/api/data/v8.2/contacts HTTP/1.1');
data.push('Content-Type:application/json;type=entry');
data.push('');
data.push(JSON.stringify(contact));
data.push('--' + changeset);
data.push('Content-Type:application/http');
data.push('Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary');
data.push('Content-ID:' + 2);
data.push('');
data.push('POST ' + parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + '/api/data/v8.2/accounts HTTP/1.1');
data.push('Content-Type:application/json;type=entry');
data.push('');
data.push(JSON.stringify(account));
data.push("--" + batch);
data.push('Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=' + changeset);
data.push('');
data.push('--' + changeset + '--');
data.push('--' + batch + '--');
var payload = data.join('\r\n');
console.log(payload);
debugger;
//batch insert add all of the entries
$.ajax(
{
method: 'POST',
url: parent.Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + '/api/data/v8.1/$batch',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'multipart/mixed;boundary=' + batch,
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Odata-MaxVersion': '4.0',
'Odata-Version': '4.0'
},
data: payload,
async: true,
success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
console.log("added test entries");
console.log(data);
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus + " " + errorThrown);
}
});
}
the created payload is this
--batch_Wed_Nov_13_2019_16_20_48_GMT-0800_Pacific_Standard_Time

Not sure if I'm doing a mistake (doesn't look like it based on MS samples in the link above).
Can anyone please confirm?
Thank you
