Hi all,

I don't usually post on here, however we have renewed a self-signed cert on our Dynamics Application Server and are attempting to run the CertificateReconfiguration script with the export of the updated certificate and are running into issues.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Set-CrmCertificate : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Is this meant to update the certificate in the db.Certificates table (designated as the S2STokenIssuer?  Have tried to find something on the internet for best guidance on changing the Certificate in MMC, then updating SharePoint integration - any ideas will be welcome.

Just to mention we are using on-premise solutions, not cloud.

Custom event details:

Hey guys,

I have a rather unorthodox question regarding plugin programming and excel templates in CRM.

Our customer wants to generate an Excel file from several different entities which are referencing to each other hierarchically in several 1 to many relationships.
I know from first experiences I've collected that I can only construct views for Excel templates with very limited possibilities.
The current model that we have right now looks something like this:

The customers wants to trigger the export on Entity A and that export shall collect data from Entities B, C, D and E and generate an Excel file with several calculations.
And to make it a bit more tricky, the "Many" part of the relationships means that there may be several records from which shall be collected.

So going over the possibilities in CE/CRM, I decided to create a custom entity in order to combine all the necessary records by reference on one record.
So when the customer clicks on a button in Entity A, my Plug-In runs through all these relationships and creates a custom entity record containing all needed records from Entities B,C,D and E.
Imagine it looking like this:

I thought that this might help me creating a view in for my custom entity because that way I can directly access all fields of all Entities needed for the Excel file.
So now I have a subgrid for my custom entity on Entity A. By clicking the "create custom record" ribbon, all the referenced records are collected and filled into the custom entity record.
Now I tried to added all necessary fields from all these entities onto one single view of my custom entity and then create an Excel Template with calculations referencing all these fields.

The system accepted my template with many many fields and it seemed like it will work.

Unfortunately...…. when I try to do an export inside that SubGrid,the system quickly hits me with an "Query has exceeded the limit of fields" error, I have not even added 30% of the fields I need because I just wanted to test my idea.

Very long story, short:
I am now thinking of writing another Plug-In in order to workaround the limits of the system. That Plug-In shall retrieve the Excel template and fill in the data with the help of my custom entity.

My Question:
Has any one of you had any experience in creating a Plug-In that can retrieve an Excel Template from the system, fill in the data and then return it back to the user?
Or is there anything I am missing in the system? any possibility I have missed? Maybe some extension or tool that can help me accomplish/meet the requirement?

Or is my approach totally wrong and I should do something completely different.....

I turned on SharePoint Integration with Accounts in my system but before I did, users were attaching their documents via the Notes pane as attachments.  I want to know if there is a way to take all of these Attachments and convert them to Documents associated to the Account.  Has anyone been able to do this, perhaps with Flow?

I am having the following  issue

when USERS use " SET REGARDING " function in OUTLOOK 2016 to link an email to the CASE - CRM opens up LOOK UP RECORDS WINDOW - when the USER selects CASE entity  and " CASE ASSOCIATED VIEW " to search the CASE - it doesn't display any results but the same works for " Contacts " and " Organisations " 

Has anyone come across this problem ?

Is there way I can change a column title in a  sub grid  located on a D365 portals entity form without  using entity form meta data for the sub grid . The Reason for this is that I have a sub grid with multiple views and there are two fields which need to be titled differently base on the view selected.  Some example JavaScript would be great

Your input would be great

Hello,

I want to Migrate XTRF data (Accounts and Contacts)  to CRM Accounts and Contacts keeping the relationship intact.

Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi, I plan to upgrade the existing dynamics 365 V8 to V9 on premise. I was looking at the below new architecture and got confused, can I anyone explain that what "CRM extensions" is, and how is it going to affect the existing code, since I have customized entity, and case entity in use. 

Users have been adding Descriptions when they cancel orders, but we don't see this data being saved anywhere, I've check the description against the order and the related quote, neither are populated with anything.

I don't know where to look.  This pops on the saving of an opportunity product.

I'm wondering if there is significance to the fact that there is no error message and the variables in the message are not filled in.  The error log entry begins at the stack trace -- again, no error message:

ps- it is clearly a privilege issue as I don't get the error as sys admin

Hi,

I created a field in account entity and its automatically locked on the form.

I have checked the field properties and everything seems to be fine  lock by default is not checked and there is no JS to lock the field.

Please advise what could be the problem, Any help or guidance to resolve this is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am getting the following error message when I am trying to upload an SSRS Report to D365 Online. "The report server has RDLSandboxing enabled and the report contains custom code. Remove the Code element from the report definition." I have read other posts where they say it is not possible to use Custom Code in the Online version. How can I use Custom Code or what else can be done to replace Custom Code.

Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to create a new record with custom value?

I was not able to do it as there was no given insert value for the record. 

Thanks

Hi Guys, Not sure what I'm doing wrong here but it keeps on saying "Input string was not in a correct format."

 Guid Owner = ((EntityReference)preImage["ownerid"]).Id;
 Entity User = service.Retrieve("systemuser", Owner, new ColumnSet(true));

 int Max = (entity.Attributes.Contains("new_maximum") && entity["new_maximum"] != null) ? (Int32)entity["new_maximum"] : 0;

 int RecordCount = GetRecordCount(service,User);


                                if (Max < RecordCount)
                                {
                                    throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("You cannot assign more account to this user.");
                                }



 private int GetRecordCount(IOrganizationService service, Entity User)
        {
            string XML = @"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'><entity name='lead'><attribute name='fullname' /><attribute name='companyname' /><attribute name='telephone1' /><attribute name='leadid' /><order attribute='fullname' descending='false' /><filter type='and'><condition attribute='ownerid' operator='eq' value='{}' /><condition attribute='new_stage' operator='in'><value>40001</value><value>40002</value></condition><condition attribute='statecode' operator='eq' value='0' /></filter></entity></fetch>";
            EntityCollection records = service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(string.Format(XML, User.ToString())));
            return records.Entities.Count;
        }

please suggest

Hi All

Using CRM online

I have added the options for notes to a custom entity that originally did not have that feature. its all published and I am able to add/read notes (programmatically) for that entity. however the notes option in the form editor for that entities main form is not there.

Is there another step to get that option to show? is there something I am missing here?

Regards

Nick

Is there any way we can add users in field security profile having specific security role ?

Currently we can add only Users and Teams there.

Dears.

I have deployed Unified Service Desk using PAckage deployer, Installation was success.

But unified service desk option is not appearing in Settings Tab, not sure whats the issue

Hello everybody,

we are trying to implement Unified Service Desk 4.1 for Dynamics 365 (8.2.8) in our company and we are facing the following issue.

According to this tutorial we changed the key on which the USD client shall start to collect performance data:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-service-desk/admin/performance-data-collection-using-keyboard-shortcut?view=dynamics-usd-4&viewFallbackFrom=dynamics-usd-4.1

We even disabled the whole logging thing, saved and activated the whole thing in the audit settings section. The problem is: This takes no effect.

Still then one presses CTRL + ALT + Q the performance data collection dialog appears.

This is a huge problem for us as CTRL + ALT + Q is the same as ALT GR + Q and on a german keyboard layout ALT GR + Q is the shortcut for @, so no one is able to enter or edit a simple Mail address of  a customer. Did we miss anything? Can one assist with this?

Kind regards

René

Hi,
I'm very curious what I'm looking at here.

In our (365 on premise, 8.2) installation we have quite a few workflows running. Specially for more complex form validation, it's extremely useful.
I had seen it before, but now it's becoming more relevant to me. Dynamics uses two (at least) different layouts. Both these screenshots are from a message popping up when a synchronous workflow meets a specific rule and the workflow is sending its cancelling message:

When or why does Dynamics use these differences? The only thing I can come up with is that the right one origins from a system entity (account) and the left one from a custom entity, but that can't be the reason, can it?

Thanks and regards,
Jeroen

Hi everyone,

There seems to be an issue with the BULK EMAIL settings within a contact.
When I send out bulk emails from the marketing app, it also sends those emails to the contacts where the BULK EMAIL option is set to 'DO NOT ALLOW'.
It does not do anything.

Who can help and/or has the same problem?

Thank you
