从CRM Dynamics 2011插件连接到SQL

Question

Hi All I posted a question earlier regarding, how to set an active contract to draft, but doing my research I found out it can either been done going straight into SQL doing the update or do it by copying the contract and then make an update. I had to go for option one. I'm trying to access my database and update the table, but get a SQL generic error from the plugin. My code to access the database from the plugin (I usually use Entity Framework to connect):

string strConn = "Data Source=serverName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;IntegratedSecurity=SSPI";

SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
connection.ConnectionString = strConn;
connection.Open();
command.Connection = connection;
command.CommandText = "Update ContractBase set StateCode = 0,StatusCode = 1 "
  + "where ContractId = ACC70D43-DEBA-E111-8610-00155D041E80";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();  

Is there anything else I need to consider when I connect to the database from the plugin? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Would the SetStateRequest message not be the appropriate way of setting the state and status? or am I missing something?

I am not sure if this is too late but you can create a SSIS package that stores CRM data in to SQL table. Create a simple plugin that on create or update fires of this SSIS package.

You will have to run this plugin with none isolation mode as the sandbox isolation will not allow file access (package).
