CREATE OR UPDATE (UPSERT) RECORDS USING ALTERNATE KEYS IN DYNAMICS 365 SDK
If you're working with Dynamics 365 SDK and need to create or update records using alternate keys, this post is for you. The post walks you through the process of updating records based on an alternate key and includes sample code to accomplish this task.
The alternate key in focus, for this post, is set on the "Account Name (name)" field of the account entity. To achieve the UpddateRequest, the code leverages the UpsertRequest feature to update key attributes in record fields. The sample code includes key attribute collections, target objects, and try-catch blocks to handle error exceptions.
The post also highlights the exception errors you may encounter when implementing the update process. You'll receive an exception when the specified key value or no key is added to the entity.
If you're struggling with alternative key updates in Dynamics 365, this post offers an excellent starting point to help you get started on the right path.
Hope this helps!
