Dynamics 365 supports 43 base languages, and sometimes you need the right one for the trial. In theory, it’s as easy as 1-2-3: Un Clément “French but not Tanguy” Olivier was having no luck provisioning a trial instance in his langue maternelle: For a client demo, I had to create a new Trial instance (on […]
Problem Another week, another challenge from Guido “Future Olive Farmer” Preite: I created a plugin for one Online instance (version 8.2.2.1862), I created a class library project with .NET 4.5.2 and with nuget I installed the Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies version 9.0.2.3 I registered the plugin and I always get this error: Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, […]
Problem Guido “Future Olive Farmer” Preite was not having any luck importing a solution: This is the situation: Sandbox is 9.0.2.441, Production is 9.0.2.197. From the sandbox we exported a solution as managed, when we import to production we get the following error: this solution package cannot be imported because it contains invalid xml… The […]
Even the best of us occasionally make the wrong choice when provisioning Dynamics 365 Portals, especially when Customer Self-Service seems like an obvious all-encompassing choice. Except that it is not. Take, for example, the case of Feridun “Best Twitter Handle for CRM MVP” Kadir: Problem I have a D365 instance with the customer self-service portal […]
Mini Truckstop Today we have a stop with two Vikings (different countries though): Jonas “The Shuffler” Rapp and Marius Agur Hagelund Lind Jonas – Question Recently we have found a new (?) problem at a customer, where emails are incorrectly “connected” to the wrong sender. By what rule/rules does Dynamics 365 chose which record to […]
Today’s tip comes from Nicholas Hayduk. (You can be a tipster too, just send your revelation to jar@crmtipoftheday.com.) We recently had a customer who added an SSL certificate to their Adxstudio v7 Portal and now wanted to use the HTTPS version as their main URL. Since their site was hosted in an Azure Web App, […]
When Scott “Mr Ribbon Workbench” Durow was delivering his “Typescript or Die” presentation at CRMUG EMEA last month, he stunned the audience by showing his phone right on the screen without any pairing. He tricked everyone, of course; I don’t believe he even has an iPhone. Turns out, Google Chrome has a not-so-obvious menu when […]
As was mentioned in the Tip 1058, the most simple and easy way to deal with TLS 1.2 in your code is to recompile it with .net 4.6.2+. As David “Xrm.Tools” Yack discovered, it may not work for some of the existing projects. The issue is that, when the framework version changes in Visual Studio […]
We have not done a mini truckstop for a while so it’s good to bag one at the beginning of the year. Question It’s a first time for Greg “Stealth MVP” Olsen to ask the MVP crowd a question. We have Hierarchy Security setup and working well for an enterprise customer, but not sure how […]
There are a few obnoxious special, from a customizer point of view, entities in Dynamics 365. Quote Product, Order Product, Invoice Product, to name but a few. These entities have some artificial limitations around what can be customized. For example, new views cannot be created; NEW button just isn’t there! Sometimes we are so immersed […]
