How to get data or retrieve data from Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 through SOAPui

Question

I know it may be duplicate question, but in 2015 release I am facing some issue while getting data.

I have read all blogs related to this subject, but could not make it.

I have followed below steps to get data.

1. Loaded project in SOAPui from http://{server}/{OrgName}/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc
2. Edited endpoint, Added /web after Organisation.svc
3. Added Authentication. (username,password,domain)
4. Added content-type, SOAPAction, Accept

Still I am getting Bad-Request error.

please help. If possible please give some Request sample.

Thanks.

Here's how to setup requests, make sure you're setup correctly:

1. Create a SOAP project pointing to http://<organization url>/XrmServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl (you'll have to authenticate)

2. Create a new request for w/e you need to do

3. In the request, set Authentication to NTLM (provide credentials)

4. In the request, you'll need three Headers like this (double-check them if you already have them there):

   4.1. SOAPAction - copy/paste it from the request interface properties

   4.2 Accept - application/xml, text/xml, */*

   4.3 Content-Type - text/xml; charset=utf-8 text/xml; charset=utf-8

5. Provide a well-formed request and go

For example, this is what a RetrieveEntityRequest looks like (this in particular will return the metadata of the account entity):
