^{Originally posted by **sibircevs** April 5, 2023} Hi, I would like to have a counter which will be unique for a particular customer. Entity must get and update the legacy system. Orchestration part: ``` const entityId = new df.EntityId("outgoingPaymentCounter", clientId); const paymentCounter = yield context.df.callEntity(entityId, "add", clientId); ``` Entity: ``` module.exports = df.entity(async function (context) { var currentValue = context.df.getState(() => 0); var updateOperation = ''; switch (context.df.operationName) { case "add": const clientId = context.df.getInput(); context.log(`[outgoingPaymentCounter] clientId = '${clientId}'`); try { const resultArr = await getCounter(context, clientId); currentValue = resultArr[0]; updateOperation = resultArr[1]; currentValue++; await saveCounter(context, clientId, currentValue, updateOperation); } catch (e) { context.log.error(`[outgoingPaymentCounter] entity error: ${e.message}`); break; } context.df.setState(currentValue); context.df.return(currentValue); break; } context.df.setState(currentValue); }); async function getCounter(context, clientId) { get the value from the legacy system }; async function saveCounter(context, clientId, currentValue, updateOperation) { save the value into the legacy system }; ``` Error: ``` 2023-04-05T14:15:06Z [Error] @outgoingpaymentcounter@LV120303-20311: Function 'outgoingpaymentcounter (Entity)' failed with an error.

@sibircevs can you provide more details? The following will be required:

• Which version of the Durable Functions NPM package are you using?
• Can you share the contents of your host.json file so we can see what version of extension bundles you're using?
• If running locally, which version of the Azure Functions Core Tools are you using? func --version

@cgillum

Hi, I'm sorry for the late response. I modified async functions getCounter and saveCounter and the problem disappeared. Now, I am not aware of what exactly was fixed. I guess, you can close this issue.

@sibircevs glad to hear you got it working, though it’s too bad we don’t understand the root cause. I’ll close this for now but @davidmrdavid may want to take a look in case there might be a bug we should fix in the SDK.
