Example

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.

// Create a condition for a bulk delete request.
// NOTE: This sample uses very specific queries for deleting records
// that have been manually exported in order to free space.
QueryExpression opportunitiesQuery = BuildOpportunityQuery();

// Create the bulk delete request.
BulkDeleteRequest bulkDeleteRequest = new BulkDeleteRequest();

// Set the request properties.
bulkDeleteRequest.JobName = "Backup Bulk Delete";

// Querying activities
bulkDeleteRequest.QuerySet = new QueryExpression[]
{
    opportunitiesQuery,
    BuildActivityQuery(Task.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(Fax.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(PhoneCall.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(Email.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(Letter.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(Appointment.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(ServiceAppointment.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(CampaignResponse.EntityLogicalName),
    BuildActivityQuery(RecurringAppointmentMaster.EntityLogicalName)
};

// Set the start time for the bulk delete.
bulkDeleteRequest.StartDateTime = DateTime.Now;

// Set the required recurrence pattern.
bulkDeleteRequest.RecurrencePattern = String.Empty;

// Set email activity properties.
bulkDeleteRequest.SendEmailNotification = false;
bulkDeleteRequest.ToRecipients = new Guid[] { currentUserId };
bulkDeleteRequest.CCRecipients = new Guid[] { };

// Submit the bulk delete job.
// NOTE: Because this is an asynchronous operation, the response will be immediate.
_bulkDeleteResponse =
    (BulkDeleteResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(bulkDeleteRequest);
Console.WriteLine("The bulk delete operation has been requested.");

         ' Create a condition for a bulk delete request.
' NOTE: This sample uses very specific queries for deleting records
' that have been manually exported in order to free space.
Dim opportunitiesQuery As QueryExpression = BuildOpportunityQuery()

' Create the bulk delete request.
Dim bulkDeleteRequest As New BulkDeleteRequest()

' Set the request properties.
bulkDeleteRequest.JobName = "Backup Bulk Delete"

' Querying activities
         bulkDeleteRequest.QuerySet = New QueryExpression() {
             opportunitiesQuery,
             BuildActivityQuery(Task.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(Fax.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(PhoneCall.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(Email.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(Letter.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(Appointment.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(ServiceAppointment.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(CampaignResponse.EntityLogicalName),
             BuildActivityQuery(RecurringAppointmentMaster.EntityLogicalName)
         }

' Set the start time for the bulk delete.
bulkDeleteRequest.StartDateTime = Date.Now

' Set the required recurrence pattern.
bulkDeleteRequest.RecurrencePattern = String.Empty

' Set email activity properties.
bulkDeleteRequest.SendEmailNotification = False
bulkDeleteRequest.ToRecipients = New Guid() { currentUserId }
bulkDeleteRequest.CCRecipients = New Guid() { }

' Submit the bulk delete job.
' NOTE: Because this is an asynchronous operation, the response will be immediate.
         _bulkDeleteResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(bulkDeleteRequest), 
             BulkDeleteResponse)
Console.WriteLine("The bulk delete operation has been requested.")

Remarks

Message Availability

For this message to work, the caller must be connected to the server.

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute method, which returns an instance of the BulkDeleteResponse class.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have read access rights on the entity records that are specified in the request class. The caller must also have Delete Privileges for the entity types being deleted. For a complete list of the required privileges, see BulkDelete Privileges.

Notes for Callers

By default, a system administrator has the BulkDelete privileges for bulk deletions. Other users must be granted the BulkDelete privileges before they can perform a bulk deletion.

When a record is deleted, all its child records are also deleted. The entire deletion fails if the caller does not have delete privileges or access rights to perform bulk deletions for any of these records.

The deletion order of the related records depends on the cascade configuration for each entity relationship. For a description of how actions on a parent record can affect related records, see Entity Relationship Behavior.

Supported Entities

You can delete in bulk the records of an entity that supports the BulkDeleteRequest message, including custom entities.

The following table shows the default entities that support this message. For the listed entities, the caller must be connected to the server for this message to be available.
