Download the Endpoints Using the Dynamics CRM 2011 Developer Resources Page

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2011

The Developer Resources page in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Web application provides important resources for developers. Included on this page are the Web service endpoint URLs, a certificate for accessing Windows Azure, and other organization information that you'll need during development. You can access the page in the Web application by clicking Settings, clicking Customizations, and then clicking Developer Resources.

For the Organization Service and Organization Data Service sections in this topic, the example URLs include an OrganizationName. This refers to the organization that you specify in the URL when accessing the Web application. For example, for Contoso.crm.dynamics.com, the OrganizationName is Contoso. ServerName refers to the name of the server, including the port number, for example, myserver or myserver:5555.

Shows the unique name for your organization, which is needed when interacting with the discovery service. Note that this may not be the same as the name that is specified in the URL. This name can be found in the following properties:

  • Deployment Web Service: UniqueName

  • Discovery Web Service: UniqueName

  • Organization Web Service using early bound classes: Organization.UniqueName

You can also retrieve this from the discovery service by using the RetrieveOrganizationsRequest message.
