Hello,
I need to schedule a custom workflow activity that delete all entity records and populate it again from external source.
I am going to use bulk delete but as far as I know it is executed asynchronously (an delete records in a batches) by the CRM, so it is not easy to understand when it is completed (in order to be started the population process). I made some research in google and found the following solution:
private void DeleteAllRecords(IOrganizationService _service)
{
BulkDeleteRequest request = new BulkDeleteRequest
{
JobName = "Delete All",
ToRecipients = new Guid[] { },
CCRecipients = new Guid[] { },
RecurrencePattern = string.Empty,
QuerySet = new QueryExpression[]
{
new QueryExpression { EntityName = "my_entity" }
}
};
BulkDeleteResponse response = (BulkDeleteResponse)_service.Execute(request);
Guid jobId = response.JobId;
deleteInProcess = true;
while (deleteInProcess)
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression { EntityName = "bulkdeleteoperation" };
query.Criteria.AddCondition("asyncoperationid", ConditionOperator.Equal, jobId);
query.Criteria.AddCondition("statecode", ConditionOperator.Equal, 3);
query.Criteria.AddCondition("statuscode", ConditionOperator.Equal, 30);
EntityCollection results = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
if (results.Entities.Count > 0)
{
deleteInProcess = false;
}
}
}
Is there a better solution?
Regards,
