<# .SYNOPSIS Remove a Data Entity from Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations .DESCRIPTION Removes a Data Entity, defined by the EntityKey, using the OData endpoint of the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations .PARAMETER EntityName Name of the Data Entity you want to work against The parameter is Case Sensitive, because the OData endpoint in D365FO is Case Sensitive Remember that most Data Entities in a D365FO environment is named by its singular name, but most be retrieve using the plural name E.g. The version 3 of the customers Data Entity is named CustomerV3, but can only be retrieving using CustomersV3 Look at the Get-D365ODataPublicEntity cmdlet to help you obtain the correct name .PARAMETER EntityKey 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 CrossCompany Instruct the cmdlet / function to ensure the request against the OData endpoint will work across all companies .PARAMETER Tenant Azure Active Directory (AAD) tenant id (Guid) that the D365FO environment is connected to, that you want to access through OData .PARAMETER Url URL / URI for the D365FO 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:\> Remove-D365ODataEntity -EntityName ExchangeRates -EntityKey "RateTypeName='TEST'","FromCurrency='DKK'","ToCurrency='EUR'","StartDate=2019-01-13T12:00:00Z" This will remove a Data Entity from the D365FO environment through OData. It will use the ExchangeRate entity, and its EntitySetName / CollectionName "ExchangeRates". It will use the "RateTypeName='TEST'","FromCurrency='DKK'","ToCurrency='EUR'","StartDate=2019-01-13T12:00:00Z" as the unique key for the entity. It will use the default OData configuration details that are stored in the configuration store. .NOTES Tags: OData, Data, Entity, Import, Upload Author: Mötz Jensen (@Splaxi) #> function Remove-D365ODataEntity { [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSUseShouldProcessForStateChangingFunctions", "")] [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string] $EntityName, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string[]] $EntityKey, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [switch] $CrossCompany, [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 } process { Invoke-TimeSignal -Start Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Building request for removing data entity through the OData endpoint for entity named: $EntityName." -Target $EntityName $keyBuilder = [System.Text.StringBuilder]::new() $null = $keyBuilder.Append("(") foreach ($item in $EntityKey) { $null = $keyBuilder.Append("$item,") } $keyBuilder.Length-- $null = $keyBuilder.Append(")") [System.UriBuilder] $odataEndpoint = $URL $odataEndpoint.Path = "data/$EntityName$($keyBuilder.ToString())" if ($CrossCompany) { $odataEndpoint.Query = $($odataEndpoint.Query + "&cross-company=true").Replace("?", "") } try { Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Executing http request against the OData endpoint." -Target $($odataEndpoint.Uri.AbsoluteUri) Invoke-RestMethod -Method DELETE -Uri $odataEndpoint.Uri.AbsoluteUri -Headers $headers -ContentType 'application/json' } catch { $messageString = $((ConvertFrom-Json $_).Error.InnerError | ConvertTo-Json) Write-PSFMessage -Level Host -Message $messageString -Exception $PSItem.Exception -Target $EntityName Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Stopping because of errors." -Exception $([System.Exception]::new($messageString)) -ErrorRecord $_ return } Invoke-TimeSignal -End } } |
