CRMProcessController.SetStep Method
The SetStep method sets a step of a process instance manually. See Remarks.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub SetStep(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ProcessInstanceId As String,
ByVal ProcessStepId As String
)
[C#]
public void SetStep(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ProcessInstanceId,
string ProcessStepId
);
[C++]
public: void SetStep(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ProcessInstanceId,
String* ProcessStepId
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvWriteWorkflowProcessInstance privilege and access rights on the object to be modified. See CUserAuth.
ProcessInstanceId
Specifies the ID of the process instance.
ProcessStepId
Specifies the ID of the process step.
Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
The SetStep method bypasses the process logic by manually setting the process instance to the specified step. This can have unexpected results.
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
Example
[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";
// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";
// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMProcessController proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMProcessController processcontroller = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMProcessController();
processcontroller.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
processcontroller.Url = strDir + "CRMProcessController.srf";
string strErrorMsg;
try
{
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();
string strStepId = "{4AAD6AD1-244C-4270-86A2-046BF3CAC92F}";
string strProcessInstanceId = "{A8CB383D-C9F2-2344-34KE-4A59F7569432}";
// Set the step
processcontroller.SetStep (userAuth, strProcessInstanceId, strStepId);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
// Process the platform error here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch (Exception err)
{
// Process other errors here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message );
}
