Manually launch workflow on all records in CRM 4 ?
Posted by EuroMaverick on December 21st, 2007


Hello people,

I have a field on the contact records in CRM 4 that I would like to clear.

I have made a little workflow, that nicely clears the field on the record
and that I can manually call. This works fine.

Now: is there a way to manually launch this workflow so that is executed on
all records at once and not only to the onces I have selected (and thus are
limited to only 250 at a time) ?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions !

Regards,

Mav.

p.s.: This is the best way to clear a field, right ? Or are there any other
suggestions ?

This is a good question. I've been doing migrations recently from ACT to CRM
4 and I wrote a few C# applications to automate doing specific things. Sure
you could use other available tools, but what i'm saying is that the object
model is pretty nifty.

I'm not sure though about manually executing the workflow across a target
number of entities. I'll look into this a bit.

However if you want I can give you a sample on connecting to MS CRM
Webservice for either 3.0 or 4.0 that would do the job. Let me know.

Thanks
