Notes on code and the things I build.
Currently, I'm still focusing on how to improve bulk processing in Dataverse. After implementing User Multiplexing, we will learn another consideration that we can apply which is the total threads and chunks of data per thread. Of course, some variables such as network speed,...
I have an interesting question about how to get the Azure Key Vault Secret from the plugin. The official documentation about the RetrieveEnvironmentVariableSecretValue action states that it can only be triggered from Power Automate Flow. The problem with this step is that it...
We always love SQL4CDS by Mark Carrington. One of its features is using the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) Endpoint for reading data. On one of the cron jobs, I have a logic to aggregate the sum of the data. Although I was using SQL4CDS Engine to retrieve the data, I observed the...
Last week, we learned that bulk operation messages offer higher performance than ExecuteMultipleRequest. Today, we dig deeper with the sample of scenarios that I prepared so you can understand when you need to use ExecuteMultipleRequest vs bulk operation messages. Enjoy!...
This is another benchmark post; this time, we need to compare ExecuteMultipleRequest vs CreateMultipleRequest. For those who don't know ExecuteMultipleRequest allows us to basically mix operations (Create, Update, or Delete) and pass parameters to control if an error is raised...
I just realized creating ServiceClient is an expensive operation (I found one blog post that confirmed this problem even though this was an article from 2017). During one of the API call tests, almost half of the time was wasted on the creation of ServiceClient. Before, I always...
Have you ever wondered why we can't change the default view when clicking Add Existing in the Subgrid area on Model Driven Apps and at the same time you need to implement business logic to limit users to select the record based on a specific view (similar with this thread)? Fear...
On the default mechanism of Lookup control on Model Driven Apps, once the user clicks the value, it will navigate to the record form. And since we already had Xrm.App.sidePanes, it will look interesting to change the default behavior and open the record in the side pane. So,...
Based on part 1 which you can read here, I realized that creating a plugin to automate the approval process will be easier compared to creating Power Automate Flow. The main reason is, that if we need to use Flow, then we need to create multiple connection reference components...
Someone asked me about an interesting scenario which I think is also very common when we want to implement ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). He has multiple service accounts that will be the owner of all the solution components on each of the environments. For example, the...
