Hi Folks,
In this post, I'll show how to add a new action to
D365FO Odata entities which you may want to access in Logic apps or Microsoft
Flow. There could be two possible scenarios, either you have custom data entity
where you can directly add a method or you have standard data entity for that
you need to create extension class.
First, let's see how to add on the custom entity
(yes cause, it's straight forward 😉 ),
Add your method on data entity and add below
attribute
[SysODataActionAttribute("<MethodName>",
false)]
public static void
<methodName>(<parameters(optional)>)
{
}
Save, Synch and Build your changes. This method
should be available now on OData action in the Logic app or Flow.
Now the other part, how to add the same in Data
entity extension. Create a new class and add below attribute.
[ExtensionOf(tableStr(<data entity name>))]
final class <data entity name>_Extension
{
[SysODataActionAttribute("<MethodName>", false)]
public static
void <methodName>(<parameters(optional)>)
{
}
}
Pl make sure you use '_Extension' keyword for above
class, it's mandatory.
That's all for today. Try it and share your
feedback.

Hi Deepak
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering on which platforms you have tried/developed this code.
We're on 10.0.1, PU24, but using this approach we can't get the expected result. The new action does not appear in metadata.

Hey Atis,
ReplyDeleteI have tried this code with V8.0 and this should work with v10.x as well. Can you share some screenshot or reference where its not working.
Thanks
Hello Deepak,
ReplyDeleteWe tried the same approach of adding an action using entity extension class and it doesn't appear in LogicApp. We have created action on ExpenseJournalHeaderEntity. It has no standard action OOB. Do we need to do anything additional after adding action? We tried in 10.0 PU26
DB synch must help.
