Hi, Guys!
There is a lot of info how to debug plug-in, it works.
In regular case I can "start profiling" and than get the profile to debug.
But I don't have a step. I created a new Message for Dataverse and going to call it outside or use Perform Unbounde Action in PA.
How to debug plug-in without a step?
I need a way how to create Profile.
Accepted Solutions
Ok. Screenshots revealed the mystery. You have to register the plugin step in "Post-Operation" mode to make it "debuggable". Check my article overall - https://butenko.pro/2022/01/03/debugging-custom-api-plugins-using-plugin-registration-tool/ and this screenshot in particular:
Update
Step appeared after I installed Power Plafform Tools for Visusual Studio.
New issue. The Profiling doesn't start
Error message:
Invalid plug-in registration stage. Steps can only be modified in stages BeforeMainOperationOutsideTransaction, BeforeMainOperationInsideTransaction, AfterMainOperationInsideTransaction and AfterMainOperationOutsideTransaction.
So I can't profile and get Profile to debug.
OK, I can create a new step and bound it to the special entity. The Event will pass context.
@a33ik , is there a way to pass my parameters to debug?
Maybe in Unsecure Configuration Tab?
@Max77 One option might be to try the 'Custom API Tester' plugin in the XrmToolBox, although it wouldn't be strictly debugging but might help you test it quickly using different parameters
1. I created Custom API according to this article https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/power-apps/developer/data-platform/custom-api
Plug-in registration tool -> Register New Assembly
Plug-in registration tool -> Register New Custom API -> choose the assembly, plug-in->Add input/ouput parameters
2. It's the sample from the article https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/power-apps/developer/data-platform/custom-api#write-a-plug-in-for-...
Ligic is in the plugin (Code)
3. I have a separate accounting system and want to make Exchange mecanism using plug-in.
The sample works.
After registering the Plug-in I can see this screen
I didn't create the step. It appeared after a few tests and trying to debug in Visual Studio.
I tried to create the step manualy -> Step creation blocked.
then the registration form became Disabled
Start Profiling doesn't work as I typed.

This Week: All About Subscriptions & Notifications We don't want you to a miss a thing in the Community! The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.) Subscribing to a Category When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe. You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save. Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively. Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe. Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board. Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area. Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu. From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format. You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes. A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
