Web Services in MS CRM 4.0

Web Services

There are three types of Web Services use iin MS CRM 4.0 which are as following:

1. CRM Web Service:This is the "main" Web service. It handles the manipulation of an organization's transactional data.There are Six methods which are used for performing the operation on CRM Database i.e. Create,Update,Delete,Retrieve,Retrieve Multiple & Fetch.

2.CRM Discovery web Service:You can use this service to "discover" information about tenants (organizations) on a server (deployment). In some modes it will also issue security tickets.

3. Metadata Web Service:This service handles the manipulation of an organization's metadata (schema).It is used to perform read/write operation on CRM database for entities and their realtionship.

Using Web services is the standard way to connect to Microsoft Dynamics CRM and manipulate the data and schema of the system. Many assumptions you might have made with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, which is single tenant, must be reconsidered. Our Web service is a SOAP service, which we feel is a great fit for a complex business system such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
