Hi Folks,

I was not able get response from Web API. Below is my code...Can suggest me if anything is missing in the below piece of code..I searched for any errors, but couldn't find thing.

var currentUserId = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userId.substr(1, 36);
var userRoleResults = null;
var Buname = null;
var invokeUrl = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/systemusers(" + currentUserId + ")?$select=_businessunitid_value&$expand=businessunitid($select=name)";//,systemuserid&$expand=systemuserroles_association($select=name)
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", invokeUrl, true);
req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0 ");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0 ");

if (req.responseXML != null)
req.send();

req.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
req.onreadystatechange = null;
if (this.status == 200) {
retrieved = JSON.parse(this.response);
Buname = retrieved.businessunitid.name;
//Buname = retrieved.results[0].BusinessUnitId.Name;
}
else {
var error = JSON.parse(this.response).error;
throw error;
}
//req.send();
}
};

 alert(Buname);

The alert seems to be always be Null.

Thank you.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your quick reply, I followed your recommendation and changed to False instead of true. Also alert placed at the above mentioned position.

    However the status seems to be undefined, so not even getting into the loop to show the alert..I have added the snap for  your reference.

    Please suggest or recommend way to verify and fix this.

    Hello,

    Line

    req.open("GET", invokeUrl, true);

    says to me that your call is async - developer.mozilla.org/.../open

    That means that your alert will be executed before you will get the data back.

    You have 2 ways out:

    1. Put alert just after you set Buname like:

    Buname = retrieved.businessunitid.name;

    alert(Buname);

    2. Use sync calls instead.

    Good luck.
