CRM 2013: Updating a Entity form from WFA plugin

I have created a dll (build with C# code) and registered it through the plugin registration tool on to my CRM.
I am using this plugin (dll) as the first step of an Work Flow (Process) for "on create". The plugin is getting value for one of the fields (attributes) from another system - which is working fine. Because I can see the field populated when
I hit refresh on the page. But I was wondering if there is a way where I can refresh the whole entity form right from the dll (C# code) or from the work flow - so that, the user does not have to hit refresh.
Thanks

I would take a
look at Xrm.Page.data.refresh(). It sounds like just what you are trying to do. I'm not entirely clear if you are using a plugin or a custom workflow activity, but another option is to run the workflow as synchronous and then the user will see
any updates your workflow makes without needing to refresh (easy).

Updating a field for a number of forms from an external table

Good Day All;
This one I could not find in the help section.
I have designed a number of forms that all use the same “rates of pay” (there are 4 categories) for calculating. I was told to expect that a few more forms will be required and these new forms will also be using the same “rates of pay”
Currently I am using “switch” to insert the “rates of pay” when the user selects a category from a dropdown.
Is there a way I can update all the forms from an external “table” instead of having to update each form individually?
Thanks All
Chomp

Hi,
If the form is Reader enabled with Acrobat, then that is going to cut out data connectons.
You should have a look at John Brinkman's blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_2.html. Two parts.
Also there is an example of inter-form communication here, but it may be too clunky: http://assure.ly/qQivbm.
Good luck,

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!

SSRS: CRM Entity Form not getting open from Custom Reports

Clicking the specific record on report is not redirecting to the corresponding entity record form on ms crm 2013.
The expression we used on action to open the url is-
=IIF(IsNothing(Parameters!CRM_URL.Value), system.DBNull.value, Parameters!CRM_URL.Value & "?ID={" & Fields!Contract_GUID.Value.ToString() & "}&LogicalName=ubs_contracts")
When we try to redirect , IE says - cannot display the webpage.
Please suggest.

URL should be
http://servername/orgname/main.aspx?id={ Fields!Contract_GUID.Value.ToString() }&pagetype=entityrecord&etn=ubs_contracts

Update the database structure from entity Framework Model

Hello !
I'm using VB.net , EF6 with SQL server 2008R2 database.
This is the situation :
I have created the application. Using wizard I have created the Entity model from an existing database.
A client start using this application using this database on his computer.
After some month , I made some modifications on the database and I have updated the model on my application .
Now I have a new .exe file that has the new model from the new database.
I put the new .exe file on the client computer.
Now on his computer : The .exe file has the new database model , but the sql server database has the old structure.
I want to know : Is possible to update the database structure from the entity model on application ?
I want to add a command on application that can make ( if is possible ) this update , so the database become up to date according to entity model ?
Thank you !

Hello,
From your description, it seems that you want to apply a migration for a database first approach, unfortunately, as far as I know, EF Migrations is a product targeted at Code First and doesn't support Database First operations. A workaround I know is to
use update-scripts. If your database structure would be changed frequently, it is recommended to use the Code First approach which would have a better workaround for migrations, for details, you could refer to this
video,
and with the
Entity Framework Power Tools, it is easy to create a code first based project form an existing database.

Exporting data from CRM 2013

Hi All,
Please let me know the best/fast approach to export all the Contacts, Activities and Opportunities data from Dynamics 2013 online application?

Hello Silky,
I found out a project on codeplex "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Bulk Update and Export tool" which may suit your exact needs. However this only supports CRM 4.0. Did some more research and found that a blog has been written for Using Bulk Data Export
tool of CRM 4.0 with CRM 2011. I am providing both the links below.

Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

Hi,
I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily.
I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary. The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM. I have other systems with
Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
Are there any specific logs I should check in the client? If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with

CRM 2013 - Javascript - Open New Record Of A Different Entity

Hi
In my order form the user can input a address for a ship to address. They have the option to save this address via a decision box, if they click yes i'd like CRM to open a new form displaying the entity customeraddress so that the user can save the new address
to CRM, a added extra would be if the user doesn't have to re-input the data it does it for them
I've tried the following JavaScript code but had a bad error request when the window opened
var AccountGuid = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
var AccountName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("name").getValue();
var parameters = {};
parameters["title"] = "Save New Address";
parameters["casetypecode"] = "3";
parameters["customerid"] = AccountGuid;
parameters["customeridname"] = AccountName;
parameters["customeridtype"] = "account";
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("customeraddress",null,parameters);
Thanks, Shaun
S.Harrison

Okay so I put the following back in
parameters["title"] = "Save New Address";
Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("customeraddress",null,parameters);
And the error came
back which is as follows
Error
An error has
occured
Try this action again, if the problem continues, check the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community for solutions or contact......
Thanks, Shaun
Thanks for all your help

Exclude Excel 2013 interop from Lync 2013 updates

Is it possible to Exclude Excel 2013 interop from Lync 2013 updates? We have Excel 2010 installed and have custom COM applications that use Excel 2010 interop to automate it. When Lync 2013 is installed/updated it installs Excel 2013 interop and causes
the COM application to not recognize the Excel 2010 interop without manually deleting the Excel 2013 interop from the registry.

When you run setup.exe from Office 2013 installation media, you can customize installation and make Excel 201 not available to install.

SharePoint 2013: InfoPath Form value update in old forms

Hello Experts,
I have a SP 2013 site with InfoPath form published onto the list, few fields from this form is promoted to be saved as list colum value. Everything works as expected.
So far, we have approx 2000+ form saved in this list. With new change request, I need to promote another field (say XYZ) from existing form as list column. This XYZ field is present in the form from starting and all 2000 forms contains value in this
field.
My question - When new forms are saved, this XYZ value can be saved in list item but is there any way I can pull values from XYZ field from existing 2000 forms to be saved onto list item.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ankur
Please mark my answer if it helped you, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes there is.
You can use "Relink Documents" from your Current View dropdown in the Ribbon. But don't use this if you have any workflows connected to the library, they WILL RUN.
Instead, you can render the forms in "Open with Explorer" view. In the Ribbon, under the Library Tools, Library tab, in the Connect & Export section, click on
Open with Explorer. As the files render in the Explorer window, you will see the icons next to the file names change to the InfoPath icon. Wait for them all to change. If you have a lot of files, you can scroll down to expose the ones that have not
changed yet. When all the icons have rendered, shut the Explorer window and refresh your view, you will see the promoted columns contain the data that was in the form.
