How to update an Opportunity via the SOAP API

[Anonymous]

Hey everybody,

My company utilizes Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The CRM instance pushes opportunity data into Marketo. From a separate application, I am trying to update the opportunity via the SOAP API, but having difficulty. I keep getting a response stating that the Opportunity is unchanged.
 

The id referenced in the request is captured by using getMObject in a previous request. My request using SyncMObjects looks like this:

$params = new \stdClass();

$mObj = new \stdClass();
$mObj->type = 'Opportunity';
$mObj->id = $id;

$attrib1 = new \stdClass();
$attrib1->name="Probability";
$attrib1->value="80%";

$attribList = array ($attrib1);

$costAttrib = new \stdClass();
$costAttrib->attrType="Tag";
$costAttrib->attrList = $attribList;

$mObj->typeAttribList= array($costAttrib);
$params->mObjectList = array($mObj);

$params->operation="UPDATE";

My response is this:
$success->result->mObjStatusList->mObjStatus->id=7923;
$success->result->mObjStatusList->mObjStatus->status="UNCHANGED";

I have tried a variety of different small changes, but keep getting the unchanged result. What am I missing? Am I missing a required attribute to update an opportunity?

Let me know when you can!

Thanks!

Can you please post the request XML this code generates?

I'm using PHP's SOAP client, but I believe it produces something like the following XML internally, I am only providing the information that would go inside the paramsSyncMObjects part of the SOAP message.

<mObjectList>
<mObject>
<type>Opportunity</type>
<id>7923</id>
<typeAttribList>
<typeAttrib>
<attrType>Tag</attrType>
<attrList>
<attrib>
<name>Probability</name>
<value>80%</value>
</Attrib>
</attrList>
</typeAttrib>
</typeAttribList>
</mObject>
</mObjectList>
<operation>UPDATE</operation>

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

the 'attrType' parameter is only valid when trying to update the Program object type, removing this should make it update normally.

Hey Kenny,

The request still went through, but I received the same response of $success->result->mObjStatusList->mObjStatus->id = 7923, and status of 'UNCHANGED'. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Phil
