CRM Dynamics Update Option Set Values with data from another sql table - dynamics-crm-2013

Hi I am a bit stuck with regards to automatically updating a CRM Option Set value with data from another external SQL table, I have a requirement to update CRM option sets when a value in an external table is updates as a new value, I know that updating the MSCRM SQL db is not supported and I was wondering what would be a different way to do it in an automated way. Your help will be very grateful.

You can update specific values in a global or local option set by using UpdateOptionValueRequest
MSDN has an example of how to use this request:
// In order to change labels on option set values (or delete) option set
// values, you must use UpdateOptionValueRequest
// (or DeleteOptionValueRequest).
UpdateOptionValueRequest updateOptionValueRequest =
new UpdateOptionValueRequest
{
OptionSetName = _globalOptionSetName,
// Update the second option value.
Value = optionList[1].Value.Value,
Label = new Label("Updated Option 1", _languageCode)
};
_serviceProxy.Execute(updateOptionValueRequest);
//Publish the OptionSet
PublishXmlRequest pxReq3 = new PublishXmlRequest { ParameterXml = String.Format("<importexportxml><optionsets><optionset>{0}</optionset></optionsets></importexportxml>", _globalOptionSetName) };
_serviceProxy.Execute(pxReq3);
You would detect changes in the SQL and use a query similar to the above to update the option set.

How to add an array of datarows into an exisitng table inside my database

I'm a newbie so don't laugh :#
I'm working with 2002-2003 Microsoft access database.
Now, I want to add an array of DataRow into an existing table that I've in my database. Is there a way to do that? because right now I'm just adding the rows with a foreach loop
thank you
I think that the foreach-loop actually is the best way to do it.
foreach(DataRow row in yourRowArray)
{
dataTable.Add(row);
}
If you are using .Net Framework 3.5+ you can also use the DataRows CopyToDataTable() Method.
But you have to watch out because the Data in the DataTable is overwritten in this case.
DataTable table = yourDataTable;
DataRow[] yourRowArray = ...;
if(yourRowArray.Length > 0)
{
table = yourRowArray.CopyToDataTable();
}
I would recommend using the foreach-loop.
What you describe as array must be a saved file type i.e. excel or csv. Be sure it is a clean grid of data without extraneous non aligned rows.
Then you can link to that file with Access as a table. This is a manual step using the Access interface - in the ribbon it is the External area. This link remains good - allowing you to replace the excel/csv with a new one as long as the location path and structure of the file do not change.
Then you create an Append query to write all the records from this table into the table in your Access database.

Neo4J create temp variable within Cypher

So my Top-Level problem is I am trying to return whether a MERGE resulted in the creation of a new Node or not.
In order to do this I was thinking I could just create a simple temp boolean setting it to TRUE using ON CREATE
How I imagine it working:
MERGE(: Person {id:'Tom Jones'})
WITH false as temp_bool
ON CREATE set temp_bool = true
RETURN temp_bool
Obviously this does not work.
I am looking for a way to create arbitrary temp values within a Cypher query, and have the ability to return those variables in the end.
Thanks
You can do what you want, here's how (combination of my first answer, with #cybersam's addition). You just do it with a node property you create and then remove, instead of an unbound variable as you've been trying.
MERGE(tom:Person {id:'Tom Jones'})
ON CREATE set tom.temp_bool = true
ON MATCH set tom.temp_bool = false
WITH tom, tom.temp_bool AS result
REMOVE tom.temp_bool
RETURN result;
In simple merging cases like this where maximum one node could be created, a cleaner way to achieve what you are looking for could be checking the result stats. I case of using Bolt API you should check:
results.consume().counters.nodes_created = 1

Orientdb sql auto increment: id is always null (sql batch, update increment, variables)

I was looking at another question in stackoverflow regarding auto increment fields in orientdb, where one of the answers was to create our own vertex with counter field.
However, when I'm trying to execute the following code (both java api and console script batch), It is not working.
Do note however that the id is returned good (did some debug attempts, returning the id variable only), and the vertex is created.
However, the vertex id is always null (unless I set it explicit, that is).
The script:
script sql
LET id = UPDATE CCounter INCREMENT value=1 RETURN AFTER $current WHERE name='session'
LET csession = CREATE VERTEX CDate SET id=$id.result, meet_date='2015-01-01 15:23:00'
end
I tried playing around with $id and $current , but nothing seems to work.
Currently I am doing it in a 2-transaction mode; one to get the id, and another to create the vertex. I really hope there is a better way though.
P.S.
I am using version 2.0-M2
You should execute
LET csession = CREATE VERTEX CDate SET id=$id.value, meet_date='2015-01-01 15:23:00'
Note the $id.value in place of $id.result.
As stated in a comment to Lvca, the answer was:
(1) Change the field name. Id seems to be reserved (ish). It's probably possible to still bypass it and use a field named 'id', but I didn't want to mess around with it.
(2) From some reason, the result was a collection (shown as '[id]'). It took me some time to figure it out, but I just had to choose the first value from it.
(3) Also, there are 2 'values' here. One of the field ($current.value), and the second one(not sure where it's coming from).
Final solution that works:
script sql
LET id = UPDATE CCounter INCREMENT value = 1 RETURN AFTER $current.value WHERE name='session'
LET csession = CREATE VERTEX CDate SET data_id=$id[0].value, meet_date='2015-01-01 15:23:00'
end

Return newly inserted row without having to Submit to database

I need to find a way to get the newly insert row, without previously having to save to the database.
Is there a way? Or I need to keep the whole collection of row in a separated array?
Is this example I adding a row to the table tblConfig, but when I look back in the table the new row is not there.
tblConfig Config = new tblConfig { ID = Guid.NewGuid(), Code ="new config code" };
CTX.tblConfig.InsertOnSubmit(Config);
var Data = from dd in CTX.tblConfig select dd;
this.dataGridView1.DataSource = Data;
After some research , I'll do the work by attaching my LINQ query to a BindingSource object, witch will help me handle with insertion update and so.
Thanks for everyone, for your help :)
Hugo
Could you add that manually like this?
this.dataGridView1.DataSource = CTX.tblConfig.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly);

Excel "Refresh All" with OpenXML

I have an excel 2007 file (OpenXML format) with a connection to an xml file. This connection generates an excel table and pivot charts.
I am trying to find a way with OpenXML SDK v2 to do the same as the "Refresh All" button in Excel. So that I could automatically update my file as soon as a new xml file is provided.
Thank you.
Well there is quite good workaround for this.
Using OpenXML you can turn on "refresh data when opening the file" option in pivot table (right click on pivot table->PivotTable Options->Data tab).
This result in auto refresh pivot table when user first opens spreadsheet.
The code:
using (var document = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(newFilePath, true))
{
var uriPartDictionary = BuildUriPartDictionary(document);
PivotTableCacheDefinitionPart pivotTableCacheDefinitionPart1 = (PivotTableCacheDefinitionPart)uriPartDictionary["/xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition1.xml"];
PivotCacheDefinition pivotCacheDefinition1 = pivotTableCacheDefinitionPart1.PivotCacheDefinition;
pivotCacheDefinition1.RefreshOnLoad = true;
}
you need to determine "path" to yours pivotCacheDefinition - use OpenXML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool to look for it.
BuildUriPartDictionary is a standard method generated by OpenXML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool
protected Dictionary<String, OpenXmlPart> BuildUriPartDictionary(SpreadsheetDocument document)
{
var uriPartDictionary = new Dictionary<String, OpenXmlPart>();
var queue = new Queue<OpenXmlPartContainer>();
queue.Enqueue(document);
while (queue.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var part in queue.Dequeue().Parts.Where(part => !uriPartDictionary.Keys.Contains(part.OpenXmlPart.Uri.ToString())))
{
uriPartDictionary.Add(part.OpenXmlPart.Uri.ToString(), part.OpenXmlPart);
queue.Enqueue(part.OpenXmlPart);
}
}
return uriPartDictionary;
}
Another solution is to convert your spreadsheet to macroenabled, embed there a VBA script that will refresh all pivot tables.
This can happen on button click or again when user opens spreadsheet.
Here you can find VBA code to refresh pivot tables:
http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/pivot-table-refresh.htm
You can't do this with Open XML. Open XML allows you to work with the data stored in the file and change the data and formulas and definitions and such. It doesn't actually do any calculations.
Excel automation technically would work, but it's absolutely not recommended for a server environment and is best avoided on the desktop if at all possible.
I think the only way you can do this is following this type of method..
Save Open XML workbook back to a xlsx file.
Load the workbook using the Excel object model.
Call either
ThisWorkbook.PivotCaches(yourIndex).Refresh();
or
ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll();
although I was pretty sure RefreshAll would also work.
Use the object model to Save the workbook and close it.
Reopen for use with xml namespaces.
The solution provided by Bartosz Strutyński will only work if the workbook does contain pivot tables and they share the same cache. If the workbook does not contain pivot tables, the code will throw a NullPointerException. If the workbook contains pivot tables that use different caches (which is the case when data sources are different), only one group of pivot tables that use the same cache will be refreshed. Below is the code based on Bartosz Strutyński's code, free of the aforementioned limitation, and not relying on knowing the "path" of PivotCacheDefinition object. The code also inlines BuildUriPartDictionary, which allows avoiding enumeration of uriPartDictionary in case it’s not used somewhere else, and uses explicit types, to ease searching documentation for the used classes.
Dictionary<String, OpenXmlPart> uriPartDictionary = new Dictionary<String, OpenXmlPart>();
Queue<OpenXmlPartContainer> queue = new Queue<OpenXmlPartContainer>();
queue.Enqueue(document);
while (queue.Count > 0)
{
foreach (IdPartPair part in queue.Dequeue().Parts.Where(part => !uriPartDictionary.Keys.Contains(part.OpenXmlPart.Uri.ToString())))
{
uriPartDictionary.Add(part.OpenXmlPart.Uri.ToString(), part.OpenXmlPart);
queue.Enqueue(part.OpenXmlPart);
PivotTableCacheDefinitionPart pivotTableCacheDefinitionPart;
if ((pivotTableCacheDefinitionPart = part.OpenXmlPart as PivotTableCacheDefinitionPart) != null)
{
pivotTableCacheDefinitionPart.PivotCacheDefinition.RefreshOnLoad = true;
}
}
}
