  1. POCRM 2011 Post Operation Plugin - Primary entity does not exist when attempting to save a referenced entity
    text
    copied!<p>I am attempting to create a plugin for an onsite Dynamics CRM 2011 installation.</p> <p>I have registered the plugin as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Message: Create</li> <li>Primary entity: Contact</li> <li>Stage of execution: Post-operation</li> <li>Execution mode: Synchronous</li> <li>Execution order: 1</li> </ul> <p>Plugin code as follows:</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) { var pluginExecContext = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext)); var orgServiceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory)); var orgService = orgServiceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(pluginExecContext.UserId); var orgServiceContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(orgService); var tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService)); if (pluginExecContext.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &amp;&amp; pluginExecContext.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity) { var target = (Entity)pluginExecContext.InputParameters["Target"]; if (target.LogicalName != Contact.EntityLogicalName) return; try { var customerServicesUser = orgServiceContext.CreateQuery(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName) .Where(x =&gt; (string)x["fullname"] == "Customer Services").FirstOrDefault(); if (customerServicesUser == null) throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("No Customer Services user exists."); var sendEmail = new cdi_sendemail { cdi_fromrecordowner = false, cdi_contactid = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, pluginExecContext.PrimaryEntityId), cdi_fromid = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, customerServicesUser.Id) }; tracingService.Trace("PostContactCreate plug-in: Creating the cdi_sendemail entity."); orgService.Create(sendEmail); } catch (FaultException&lt;OrganizationServiceFault&gt; ex) { throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in the PostContactCreate plug-in.", ex); } catch (Exception ex) { tracingService.Trace("PostContactCreate plug-in: {0}", ex.ToString()); throw; } } } </code></pre> <p>When I profile the plugin using the pluginregistration tool and debug the fault exception I get the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Contact With Id = abbc7e0a-20a0-e111-a36e-005056860004 Does Not Exist.</p> </blockquote> <p>Which I sort of understand as the plugin is executing within a SQL transaction that has yet to commit. The "FollowupPlugin" within the CRM SDK samples, which also creates a referenced entity, states that it needs to be registered asynchronously, which would also make sense as that allows the SQL transaction to commit.</p> <p>So I guess my question is, how do you create a referenced entity in a synchronous plugin?</p>
