<# .SYNOPSIS Update a Data Entity in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement .DESCRIPTION Updates a Data Entity, defined as a json payload, using the OData endpoint of the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement platform .PARAMETER EntityName Name of the Data Entity you want to work against The parameter is Case Sensitive, because the OData endpoint in D365CE is Case Sensitive Remember that most Data Entities in a D365CE environment is named by its singular name, but most be retrieve using the plural name E.g. The account Data Entity is named "account", but can only be retrieving using "accounts" Use the XRMToolBox (https://www.xrmtoolbox.com) to help you identify the names of the Data Entities that you are looking for .PARAMETER Key The key that will select the desired Data Entity uniquely across the OData endpoint The key would most likely be made up from multiple values, but can also be a single value .PARAMETER Payload The entire string contain the json object that you want to import into the D365CE environment Remember that json is text based and can use either single quotes (') or double quotes (") as the text qualifier, so you might need to escape the different quotes in your payload before passing it in .PARAMETER Tenant Azure Active Directory (AAD) tenant id (Guid) that the D365CE environment is connected to, that you want to access through OData .PARAMETER Url URL / URI for the D365CE environment you want to access through OData .PARAMETER ClientId The ClientId obtained from the Azure Portal when you created a Registered Application .PARAMETER ClientSecret The ClientSecret obtained from the Azure Portal when you created a Registered Application .PARAMETER EnableException This parameters disables user-friendly warnings and enables the throwing of exceptions This is less user friendly, but allows catching exceptions in calling scripts .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Update-D365CeODataEntity -EntityName "accounts" -Key "accountid=4b306dc7-ab04-4ddf-b18d-d75ffa2dba2c" -Payload '{"address2_city": "Chicago"}' This will update a Data Entity in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement using the OData endpoint. The EntityName used for the import is "accounts". It will use the "accountid=4b306dc7-ab04-4ddf-b18d-d75ffa2dba2c" as key to identify the unique Account record. The Payload is a valid json string, containing the needed properties that we want to update. It will use the default OData configuration details that are stored in the configuration store. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $Payload = '{"address2_city": "Chicago"}' PS C:\> Update-D365CeODataEntity -EntityName "accounts" -Key "accountid=4b306dc7-ab04-4ddf-b18d-d75ffa2dba2c" -Payload $Payload This will update a Data Entity in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement using the OData endpoint. First the desired json data is put into the $Payload variable. The EntityName used for the import is "accounts". It will use the "accountid=4b306dc7-ab04-4ddf-b18d-d75ffa2dba2c" as key to identify the unique Account record. The $Payload variable is passed to the cmdlet. It will use the default OData configuration details that are stored in the configuration store. .NOTES Tags: OData, Data, Entity, Update, Upload Author: Mötz Jensen (@Splaxi) .LINK Add-D365CeODataConfig .LINK Get-D365CeActiveODataConfig .LINK Set-D365CeActiveODataConfig #> function Update-D365CeODataEntity { [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSUseShouldProcessForStateChangingFunctions", "")] [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string] $EntityName, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string] $Key, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [Alias('Json')] [string] $Payload, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [Alias('$AADGuid')] [string] $Tenant = $Script:ODataTenant, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [Alias('URI')] [string] $URL = $Script:ODataUrl, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string] $ClientId = $Script:ODataClientId, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string] $ClientSecret = $Script:ODataClientSecret, [switch] $EnableException ) begin { $bearerParms = @{ Url = $Url ClientId = $ClientId ClientSecret = $ClientSecret Tenant = $Tenant } $bearer = New-BearerToken @bearerParms $headerParms = @{ URL = $URL BearerToken = $bearer } $headers = New-AuthorizationHeaderBearerToken @headerParms $apiPath = Get-PSFConfigValue -FullName "d365ce.integrations.api.version" } process { Invoke-TimeSignal -Start Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Building request for the OData endpoint for entity named: $EntityName." -Target $EntityName [System.UriBuilder] $odataEndpoint = $URL $odataEndpoint.Path = "$apiPath/$EntityName($Key)" try { Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Executing http request against the OData endpoint." -Target $($odataEndpoint.Uri.AbsoluteUri) Invoke-RestMethod -Method Patch -Uri $odataEndpoint.Uri.AbsoluteUri -Headers $headers -ContentType 'application/json' -Body $Payload } catch [System.Net.WebException] { $webException = $_.Exception if(($webException.Status -eq [System.Net.WebExceptionStatus]::ProtocolError) -and (-not($null -eq $webException.Response))) { $resp = [System.Net.HttpWebResponse]$webException.Response if($resp.StatusCode -eq [System.Net.HttpStatusCode]::NotFound){ $messageString = "It seems that the OData endpoint was unable to locate the desired entity: $EntityName, based on the key: <c='em'>$key</c>.
