programmatic way to check which version is installed?

Question

Is there a way through javascript to see what version (or rollup) the crm organization/server is on? What I really want to know is if I am on UR11 or before.

I've tried:

1. Xrm.Page.context - but nothing about versions (did I miss something?)
2. Checking if (crmForm == null) (Since that was disabled as of UR12) The problem is that if the org enables HTC support then crmForm will not be null, and I need to know what version with or without HTC support enabled.

What I've done for now is put the onus on the solution installer to modify a javascript file that has the "isRollup12" variable to true or false, which is quite clunky.

Answer 1

There is a global JS variable you could check:

alert(APPLICATION_FULL_VERSION);
//on UR12 '5.0.9690.3236'
//on UR11 '5.0.9690.2839'
//and so on...

But this method isn't supported, so use at your own risk.

Answer 2

you can check if the getClientUrl function is defined, it's a new function included inside UR12.

var isRollup12 = false;
if (Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl !== undefined) {
   isRollup12 = true;
}
