BizMerchant.RetrieveAllTeams Method

The RetrieveAllTeams method retrieves all teams in the specified business unit hierarchy.

The team XML data that is returned is not in hierarchical format. Instead, it is a flat format, as shown in the following example:

Business hierarchy:

                 B0 - t01, t02
                /  \
  t11, t12 - B1     B2 - t21, t22

Returned XML data:

<teams>
   <team>t01 fields</team>
   <team>t02 fields</team>
   <team>t11 fields</team>
   <team>t12 fields</team>
   <team>t21 fields</team>
   <team>t22 fields</team>
</teams>

Syntax

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

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. The caller must have the prvReadBusinessUnit privilege to perform this action. See CUserAuth.

BusinessId

Specifies the ID of the business unit. This ID is specified by the platform and obtained at creation time.

ColumnSet

Specifies an XML string describing the fields you would like returned for each team. Passing "" or null returns all columns. The XML schema is described by team.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.

Return Value

Returns a String type that contains the XML data listing teams in the business unit. The fields that are returned for each team depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSet parameter. The XML schema is described by team.xsd.

Remarks

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#]
// It is assumed that the caller has the privileges to perform this action,
// 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.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

// BizMerchant proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizMerchant merchant = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizMerchant ();
merchant.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
merchant.Url = strDir + "BizMerchant.srf";

string strErrorMsg;
string strColumnSetXml;
string strResultXml;

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

   // Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
   strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>teamid</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>name</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>emailaddress</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";

   // Retrieve all of the teams that are associated with the merchant
   strResultXml = merchant.RetrieveAllTeams(userAuth, userAuth.MerchantId, strColumnSetXml);

} 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 );
}
