CRMSalesPerson.RetrieveByTerritory Method

The RetrieveByTerritory method retrieves all salesperson objects that are assigned to a territory.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function RetrieveByTerritory(
  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal TerritoryId As String,
  ByVal ColumnSet As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveByTerritory(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  TerritoryId,
  string  ColumnSet
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveByTerritory(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  TerritoryId,
  String*  ColumnSet
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvReadUser privilege and access rights on the objects to be retrieved. See CUserAuth.

TerritoryId

Specifies the ID of the territory. See Remarks.

ColumnSet

Specifies an XML string describing the set of columns to be retrieved. Passing an empty string or null returns all columns (Nothing or "" in VB .NET). You can find the valid column names in systemuser.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.

Return Value

Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the set of salesperson objects requested. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSet parameter. This XML string is in the format

<systemusers> + systemuser1..N + </systemusers>

where the XML schema for each salesperson is described by systemuser.xsd.

Remarks

The XML string returned from this method may contain multiple objects. If no objects are returned the method simply returns an XML document for the object type with no data.

The XML string returned from this method does not contain elements for fields where the value is null or contains empty strings. This improves performance by not sending more XML data than is necessary from the server to the client.

You cannot pass a null string for the TerritoryId parameter.

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#]
// strServerName should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServerName = "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://" + strServerName + "/" + 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";

// CRMSalesPerson proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMSalesPerson  salesperson = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMSalesPerson();
salesperson.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
salesperson.Url = strDir + "CRMSalesPerson.srf";

string strErrorMsg;
string strTerritoryId = "{465FB749-DF3A-4105-KJ8D-603DB8726496}";

try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
   string strColumnSet = "<columnset>";
   strColumnSet += "<column>fullname</column>";
   strColumnSet += "<column>businessunitid</column>";
   strColumnSet += "</columnset>";

   // Retrieve the salesperson objects by territory
   string resultXml = salesperson.RetrieveByTerritory  (userAuth, strTerritoryId, strColumnSet);

}
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 );
}
