Hi experts,

I have a workflow, plugin and Business rule with scope as Entity.

I would like my workflow to execute first then my plugin and last my business rules should execute.

Is this possible?

I know we can set execution order of the plugin and workflow but how do we set execution order of the business rules.

Thanks,

Bipin

Hello @bipinshan

As per OOB Behavior there is some place available to set Execution Order for Plugins or Workflow.

I tried Searching but unfortunately i cannot find a place to change the same for Business Rule

Note:

its like on Load of Page how come we cannot change JavaScript / Business Rule trigger first.

Lets wait for other comments too 🙂

Hi,

Please refer to this tool available on xrmToolBox: https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/plugins/MsCrmTools.SynchronousEventOrderEditor/

I'm not sure if we'll be able to manage the order for business rules with scoop entity.
If you really want to have full control over your executions, I recommend you to switch to Workflows and Plugins.

Good Luck !!

Yes you can control wich is executed fist with the XrmToolBox -MsCrmTools.SynchronousEventOrderEditor

in this case i changed the plugin to run after the Business rule :

This works and respect the order to get the plugin first set it -1 and if you want it after set to 2

this also can be defined when the plugin is created

Let me know if this helps.

I could be wrong, but I think the modified on date is the predictor of the order.

its either that or the order in which they were activated.

No, it is not possible to control the execution order between Workflow, Plugin, and Business Rule in the way you described.

Workflows always run after the database operation

Plugins run inside the transaction

Business Rules do not support execution order configuration

If strict ordering is required, the recommended approach is to implement the logic inside plugins and control the execution order using plugin step numbers.
