1.-First Time I do Queries as it then I dont know how to get a cross join
2.-I understand this example is a inner join isn't it? I take it for this line "from="accountid" to="customerid"" this sees as a Inner Join
then how would it be a cross join?
3.- I copied this example on http://mscrmshop.blogspot.mx/2012/09/outer-joins-in-fetch-xml-queries-in.html
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="opportunity">
<attribute name="name" />
<attribute name="customerid" />
<attribute name="estimatedvalue_base" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
<link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="customerid" visible="false" link-type="outer" alias="accountid">
<attribute name="telephone1" />
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
Fetch XML does not support a cross Join.
There is another alternative solution suggested in the below link. Please see whether that can be useful for your case.

I am using this approach for paging using Fetch XML within Web API.
Web API works perfect when we use simple fetch and it returns pagging cookie along with results if there are more records but when we use complex(where we have link entities) Fetch XML it returns paging cookie but empty e.g.:
<b><cookie pagenumber="2" pagingcookie="" istracking="False" /></b>
Here you can see we have nothing in pagingcookie.
Fetch XML used for query:
<fetch mapping="logical" version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" count="10" page="1" >
<entity name="invoicedetail" >
<attribute name="invoicedetailid" />
<attribute name="uomid" />
<attribute name="quantity" />
<attribute name="manualdiscountamount" />
<attribute name="priceperunit" />
<attribute name="extendedamount" />
<filter>
<condition entityname="invoice" attribute="customerid" operator="eq" value="{5A8F8B46-2443-E511-80E3-3863BB351E10}" />
</filter>
<link-entity name="invoice" from="invoiceid" to="invoiceid" >
<attribute name="invoiceid" />
<attribute name="invoicenumber" />
<attribute name="description" />
<attribute name="totalamount" />
<order attribute="ss_postingdate" descending="true" />
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
If we remove linked entity it starts giving the exact paging cookie in the response that can be get using #Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.fetchxmlpagingcookie.
Is there any way to get the exact paging cookie in complex scenarios?
I've seen this happen before in the standard organization service. I would suggest just paging without the paging cookie - this resolved the issue for me in the organization service.
E.g. <fetch mapping="logical" page="1" count="50">
I need to present all contact that have connection to opportunity in dialog. So when some opportunity has Sales Team, Stakeholders, Owners, etc. Something like Active Connection Associate View. I need a FetchXml or other ways to find all the Contact that are in any way connected to current opened Opportunity.
Your fetchXML query will look quite like this :
<fetch mapping='logical' version='1.0'>
<entity name='myentity'>
<filter>
<condition attribute='myentityid' operator='eq' value='myvalue' />
</filter>
<link-entity name='secondentity' from='stsr_materialid' to='stsr_material_casinglookup' alias='c' link-type='outer'>
<attribute name='stsr_name' />
<attribute name='stsr_code_aisi' />
<attribute name='stsr_code_astm' />
<attribute name='stsr_code_din' />
<attribute name='stsr_code_e' />
<attribute name='stsr_code_en' />
</link-entity>
If you need more help, please provide more context.
While indexing data from a local folder on my system, i am using given below configuration.However the lastmodified attribute is getting indexed in the format "Wed 23 May 09:48:08 UTC" , which is not the standard format used by solr for filter queries .
So, I am trying to format the lastmodified attribute in the data-config.xml as given below .
<dataConfig>
<dataSource name="bin" type="BinFileDataSource" />
<document>
<entity name="f" dataSource="null" rootEntity="false"
processor="FileListEntityProcessor"
baseDir="D://FileBank"
fileName=".*\.(DOC)|(PDF)|(pdf)|(doc)|(docx)|(ppt)" onError="skip"
recursive="true" transformer="DateFormatTransformer">
<field column="fileAbsolutePath" name="path" />
<field column="fileSize" name="size" />
<field column="fileLastModified" name="lastmodified" dateTimeFormat="YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.000Z" locale="en"/>
<entity name="tika-test" dataSource="bin" processor="TikaEntityProcessor"
url="${f.fileAbsolutePath}" format="text" onError="skip">
<field column="Author" name="author" meta="true"/>
<field column="title" name="title" meta="true"/>
<!--<field column="text" />-->
</entity>
</entity>
</document>
</dataConfig>
But there is no effect of transformer, and same format is indexed again . Has anyone got success with this ? Is the above configuration right , or am i missing something ?
Your dateTimeFormat provided does not seem to be correct. The upper and lower case characters have different meaning. Also the format you showed does not match the date text you are trying to parse. So, it probably keeps it as unmatched.
Also, if you have several different date formats, you could parse them after DIH runs by creating a custom UpdateRequestProcessor chain. You can see schemaless example where there is several date formats as part of auto-mapping, but you could also do the same thing for a specific field explicitly.
I am creating report in SSRS for CRM. I have a table with Dataset for Appointment info and I noticed that it does not allow me to report on required attendees??? Is this true? If so is there a workaround around this? I basically want my report to show appointments details and of course who participated.
Any advice is much appreciated!
Below is the fetchXML I gathered from using Advanced Find in CRM 2013.
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="appointment">
<attribute name="subject"/>
<attribute name="statecode"/>
<attribute name="scheduledstart"/>
<attribute name="activityid"/>
<attribute name="instancetypecode"/>
**<attribute name="requiredattendees"/>**
<order attribute="subject" descending="false"/>
<link-entity name="account" from="accountid" to="regardingobjectid" alias="ae">
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="accountid" operator="eq" value="#name"/>
</filter>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
To get this information you will have to create another one datasource and retrieve information from ActivityParty entity. All items like requiredattendees, optionalattendees in appointment, from, to, cc, bcc in email, e.t.c. are stored inside ActivityParty entity.
We are storing an XML document of all the different costs in SQL Server 2008 r2. Now, certain prices need to be update based on a formula.
One approach to this would be to:
Shred the XML and access the values.
Do the calculation
Now rebuild the XML structure.
Is this the only way to do it? Or is there an easier way where we can access the values on the fly and update the entire XML in one go? For this kind of scenario, what is the best approach?
Here is the sample of the XML:
<ItemAttributeData>
<Section ID="469919" TypeID="61000002">
<Attributes>
<Attribute ID="3870" UniqueID="1c71212b-8395-4b43-a44d-9a63374c8c99" VALUE="2" />
<Attribute ID="3569" UniqueID="c0b754d3-e03e-4d4a-9bc1-dcb11c04535b" VALUE="2" />
<Attribute ID="1592" UniqueID="2609b344-88b2-44d6-be20-07b634705c30" VALUE="2" />
</Attributes>
</Section>
<Section ID="469920" TypeID="61000001">
<Attributes>
<Attribute ID="3702" UniqueID="7cabf9e8-4f60-4e1e-afe5-75b153e8c5eb" VALUE="1000001649" />
<Attribute ID="3870" UniqueID="595f8e2c-bccb-4fcb-81d4-303fcb7d44c4" VALUE="2" />
<Attribute ID="3868" UniqueID="2226f6c6-380a-4195-98f7-c6deec84e4e8" VALUE="2" />
<Attribute ID="3754" UniqueID="bf936c3f-fa96-49b9-8a62-46fb7e0009d5" VALUE="1000001600" />
<Attribute ID="2204" UniqueID="bdc78784-86ad-4567-bc06-40896d603eaf" VALUE="1" />
<Attribute ID="3874" UniqueID="8728249f-5e60-4938-a60d-208426fe11c8" VALUE="1" />
</Attributes>
</Section>
<Section ID="469921" TypeID="61000001" />
</ItemAttributeData>
You can use non standard XML update command replace value of. Like
DECLARE #myDoc xml
SET #myDoc = '<Root>
<Location LocationID="10"
LaborHours=".1"
MachineHours=".2" >Manu steps are described here.
<step>Manufacturing step 1 at this work center</step>
<step>Manufacturing step 2 at this work center</step>
</Location>
</Root>'
--SELECT #myDoc
SET #myDoc.modify('
replace value of (/Root/Location[1]/#LaborHours)[1]
with (
if (count(/Root/Location[1]/step) > 3) then
"3.0"
else
"1.0"
)
')
SELECT #myDoc
