DYNAMICS 365 HOW TO EXECUTE FETCHXML QUERIES IN WEB.API JAVASCRIPT

If you're working with Dynamics 365 and require retrieving data through WebAPI calls, FetchXml might be the best option for more complex queries. It is easily generated using Advanced Find and is more readable, allowing the use of joins and aggregations. This post focuses on executing FetchXml queries using Xrm.WebApi in JavaScript. It outlines the steps needed:

• Prepare the FetchXml query that you want to execute.
• Prepare the JavaScript function to execute the WebAPI request.
• Use the specified function to retrieve the user roles.

The function includes encoding the FetchXml query with the encodeURIComponent function to retrieve records. Additionally, specify that the query being executed is in fetchXml format and use the Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords request.

This tutorial serves as a quick guide for those wanting to execute complex queries using FetchXml in Dynamics 365. It also offers readers more insight into how WebAPI calls can be used to retrieve data using OData queries.

Hope this tutorial helps!
