Sample JavaScript Code to retrieve all the members of a Static Marketing List in CRM 2011


Hi,

We recently had a requirement to retrieve all the members of a particular static marketing list through Jscript. The difficult part was to fetch all the records in case of more than 5000 records. Here we had to repeatedly check the soap result to see if there are any more records and if so create the fetch xml query in runtime and again execute it till we get all the members.

This particular post was of immense help

// call this function and pass the id of the static marketing list to it
 function GetAllMembers(listGuid)
 {

 _oService='';
 _sOrgName = "";
 memberArray = new Array();
 morePages = 'true';
 pageNumber = 1;
 pageCookie = '';
 recordGuid='';
 XMLHTTPSUCCESS = 200;
 XMLHTTPREADY = 4;

 context = typeof (Xrm) == "undefined" ? GetGlobalContext() : Xrm.Page.context;
 var _sServerUrl = context.getServerUrl();
 if (_sServerUrl.match(/\/$/)) {
 _sServerUrl= _sServerUrl.substring(0, serverUrl.length - 1);
 }

 GetMarketingListMembers(listGuid);

}

function GetMarketingListMembers(listGuid) {

 fetchOnLoad(pageNumber, pageCookie, listGuid);

for (var i = 0; i < memberArray.length; i++) {

alert(memberArray[i]);
 // Iterates over numeric indexes from 0 to 5, as everyone expects
 }
 }

function fetchOnLoad(pageNumber, pageCookie, listGuid) {

 recordGuid = listGuid;

var sFetch = "<fetch mapping='logical' page='" + pageNumber + "' count='5000' paging-cookie='" + pageCookie + "' version='1.0'>" +
 "<entity name='listmember'>" +
 "<attribute name='entityid' />" +
 "<filter>" +
 "<condition attribute='listid' operator='eq' value='" + recordGuid + "' />" +

 "</entity>" +
 "</fetch>";
