"</s:Envelope>";
ExecuteRequest(request, "Create");
}
function ExecuteRequest(_XML, Message) {
try {
var _ResultXML = null;
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("POST", Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web", false);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services/IOrganizationService/" + Message);
xmlhttp.send(_XML);
_ResultXML = xmlhttp.responseXML;
var errorCount = _ResultXML.selectNodes('//error').length;
if (errorCount != 0) {
var msg = resultXml.selectSingleNode('//description').nodeTypedValue;
alert(msg);
_ResultXML = null;
return _ResultXML;
}
else {
return _ResultXML;
}
}
catch (Err) {
alert(Err);
return;
}
}
Pass current userid, accountid and roleid to CreateConnectionRecord function.
Hope this helps………!!!
