Coded UI automation support for MIcrosoft Dynamic CRM 2013

Hi,
I have been checking for a UI automation tool for Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2013. Even though it is mentioned as coded UI fully supports Dynamic CRM, I was not able to automate CRM with VS2013, VS2015 Preview. Please reply if you have any workaround to make
it possible to automate UI testing of CRM 2013 using coded UI.
Regards,
Vinu chandran.

Hi Vinu,
According to your description,
could you please tell me what version of VS you use to test your coded UI test?
In addition, I did some search and don’t find any information about CRM2013 support for Coded UI test.
Based on this article:
Supported Configurations and Platforms for Coded UI Tests and Action
Recordings, Dynamics CRM web client is fully supported. Even though I am not sure whether it includes CRM2013, I suggest you should use VS to drag the crosshair
on the control to check the control can be identified by Coded UI Test.
In addition, since the issue is related to the Microsoft Dynamic CRM, I suggest you can ask the issue to
Microsoft Dynamic
CRM forum, may be you will get better support.
As you said that you are not able to automate coded UI test with VS2015 Preview, because VS2015 Preview is still a preview version
instead of final released version, I suggest that you should submit this feedback to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx,
Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously.
After you submit the feedback, you can post the link here which will be beneficial for other members with the
similar issue.
Thanks for your understanding.

KB3008923 Makes Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2013 add/change javascript in Form Dialog impossible - Fix is use CHROME or remove update.

After KB3008923 was installed on my computer we found out that in Microsoft Dynamic Crm 2013
we could not change Form Script or add Form scripts as the dialog adding/maintaining this did not work
any more. The dropdown box is empty and the function and parameters are gone.
Fix is to remove KB3008923 or use CHROME until Microsoft fixes it!

Microsoft Dynamic CRM Data Archiving solution

Hi,
How can i archive data in dynamic CRM.

If this process is available in dynamic CRM or how can i create this tool for the same.
Please suggest me for this.
Thanks

Hi Narendra,
Recently i implemented the Data Archiving in CRM 2011 in supported way.
We identified the entities where the volume of data is very high over the period like case, opportunity, activity, system jobs, lead etc.
I am using "SSIS Integration Toolkit v5.1 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM" from KingswaySoft to create and delete the data.
I created a new organization same as main organization. In new organization i create the closed case, opportunity, activity, lead from main organization and once done i delete them from main organization. This exercise we execute in every 3 months. We always
delete the completed system jobs from main organization. And we provided the access to new organization only to few admin users just for reporting purpose.

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

Fetch-Xml based report (to count User Access in the last 6 months ) for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online

Hi,
I have created a User Access report for CRM on-premise using SQl query in the following format. One row corresponds to one user in organization. Currently, I am using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online trial version and have two users in my organization.
I want to the same report for CRM Online environment. Only Fetch-Xml based custom reports are supported by CRM online environment hence this SQL query cannot be used.
I have already written fetch-xml query to retrieve user access records ("audit" entity records) in "last-x-months" (where x = 1,2,3,4,5,6) as below.
I am able to retrieve the records with "last-x-months" condition at a time, for example, the last-2-months in my fetch-xml query only.
For, example, when I retrieve the records in the last-2-months, it also includes the records in the last month. I want to count the records in the 2nd month only that is the difference between these two. The difference will be my 2nd column.
Similarly, I want the other columns.
For the case in the above example, I have created the two separate datasets to get the record-count for the last month and last-2-months. But, I am not able to use the two datasets in the same table in my report and hence not able to calculate the difference.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi,
I have modified my Fetch-XML query to retrieve all the required User Access records and removed aggregation and counting and grouping from the query as well. Did grouping and counting in SSRS. Now the report works fine as shown in the above picture.

Flex automation support for Firefox 3.6.8

Hi There,
I have been using flex automation plugin for a while which comes with Flex Builder 3.0. Where it is mentioned that flex only supports automation with IE browser. Is the same comment applicable with Flas Builder 4 automation plugin. or is it supporting other browsers other than IE from Flash Builder 4 like Firefox.
Thanks,

Live Office support for Microsoft 2010

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum- not sure where i would ask this.
My customers are starting to use office 2010 and are having problems with office 2010.
Does anyone have an idea of when office 2010 will be supported?
Thank you,
Dave

Please check note 1446026 http://service.sap.com/notes.
XI 3.1 will probably provide support for MS Office 2010 starting from SP4 (This is NOT XI 4.0)

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Google Chrome not populating popups working correctly with pop ups.

If incorrect forum, just alert and move. I am having an issue with hosted Microsoft Dynamics 2013 and Google Chrome latest release, 31. This just started with the hosted version of Dynamics CRM 2013, Chrome had been working correctly with
our earlier version of CRM.
When users on latest version of Chrome, 31, login to Dynamics CRM 2013, everything looks fine. Issue is specifically, for sales folks, when they open a client record, and where the client info is located, there is a standard date and time and tiny
little calendar you can pull up if you click on it. When the user clicks on the tiny little calendar, they DO get a pop up, but the pop up is blank. And, there is no error message at all. Nothing freezes, nothing bad happens at all, except
for the salesperson, who live and die by their calendars and ability to schedule appointments and see exiting appointments.
This is not some in house coding issue. It is a generic CRM phone call record that has this issue.
Again, no errors, nothing crashes, but Dynamics CRM 2013 is useless to Google Chrome users in house because of this. Which, in a support position, is terrible. Users who got an upgrade, have their favorite interface rendered useless. And these
are sales folks. And, I did all settings according to what I was able to find for CRM 2010 and Chrome, for when pop ups do not work, and all settings were already correct for pop ups, website is in trusted sites, etc, which is what I expected, since
everything worked on CRM 2010.
Any clues or ideas? Thank You.
Rick

Error while installing the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Report Authoring Extension set up

HI Experts,
I am trying to install Report Authoring extension tool to work with MS CRM 2015 online reports but unable to install, getting below error even though I am having VS 2013, SQL Server 2014 and Data tools for VS 2013 installed on my machine.
Please help me to fix this issue.
When I double click the error getting below error.
Error : Business Intelligence Development Studio is not installed for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services.
When I click the details , getting below error.
Thanks
Baji Rahaman

The Report Authoring Extensions (any version) don't support VS 2013. Currently the Crm 2015 Report Authoring Extensions support VS 2012 and VS 2010, and the Crm 2013 Report Authoring Extensions supports only VS 2010.
By the way, the error you posted suggests you're trying to install the Crm 2011 Report Authoring Extensions

SCSM 2012 R2 Self Service Portal is supported on Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 or not

Hello,
I have a requirement to install Self Service Portal on one dedicated Server and found that Both the Web Content Server and SharePoint Web Parts can be installed on single Server. I want to use Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 Foundation Server as
it is free but it is not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
My query are -
Can we use Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 for the same purpose.
Can we install Both the Web Content Server and SharePoint Web Parts on One Computer for Self Service portal
I was referring the below link which says that Sharepoint 2013 is not supported, does it mean for Sharepoint foundation 2013 Sp1 is also not supported.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=24983
Please help.
Thanks,
Ankur

for background, there are actually three parts here. there is a SharePoint team site, there is the content distribution website, and there is the data access website. the data access and the content website are almost always collocated on the same servers,
since they are both IIS virtual directories. the sharepoint team site is packaged for 2010, but it's been
successfully installed on 2013 without problems.
you have a couple of options:
you can put all three web componets on the same server by using foundation 2010
you can put all three on the same 2013 server using the method above
you can put the two iisvds on a server and install the team site using the method above
you can install the content and data access services on a separate server, and then install a scrap foundation SharePoint and export out the team site and import it into your existing SharePoint site

Will VS 2015 offer any better javascript support for intellisense compare to 2013 or 2012?

Ive started using AngularJS and the intellisense or code completion features are kinda blah in 2012 and done appear to be much any better in 2013. Is there hope for 2015?
Other developers doing alot of front end work with javascript, especially with some of the newer frameworks are using tools like Webstorm for the front-end code and leaving VS for the back-end code. Id rather not use two different IDE's if possible.
Luckily, for now the front end code isnt that extensive on my projects, but that is starting to change.
eg.
