Hi All,
Right now I'm trying to instal Microsoft Dynamics 4.0 CRM Connector. microsoft Dynamics 4.0 is running on Windows Server 2008.

Does anyone face this problem too ?

Br,
Heri

Hi Wish,
i´m the responsible for SAP CRM 7.0 in our company. Every year i´m visiting in germany the CRM EXPO where CRM manufactures present there systems and new features. My very personal point of view is that there are better CRM systems on the market as SAP CRM 7.0 - but not MS Dynamics.
If you have ABAP know how already in your company i recommend to choose SAP CRM - the enhancement possiblities without modification are huge in SAP CRM 7.0.
Please keep in mind that this is only my point of view from my experience.
If you post this question maybe in a Microsoft forum you will get other answers
Kind regards

ECC 6.0 integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Hi All
I am working on a ECC 6.0 integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. I need to send the customer master data, va01/va02, vl01n/vl02n/ vf01/vf02 to CRM system. One option I have is to send in the form of IDOC with TRFC - TCP/IP. But looks like this needs a middleware like Biztalk.
Is there a way I can send this data using a Internet service in ECC 6.0 ??? As this would cut the cost of the Biztalk.
I really appriciate your thoughts on this. We don't have XI either.
Thanks a lot
Van

HI Van Dan Jan,
We have just implemented integarion of SAP with Microsoft stack (Microsoft CRM, Share point and Axapta), But in all integration BizTalk as a middleware used.
There is two way requirements :
1. whenever Most of the control are at the Microsoft level like : Customer creation, Creation of orders, which need to be synchronus activity we have used RFC which internally calls BAPI. (So SAP adapter Configured at BizTalk). and whenever Biztalk receives request file from CRM or share point to there location they call SAP RFC's.
2. When DATA is needed from SAP to microsoft stack like to syncronize the missing transaction like customer pad and all.
Scheduled job at BizTalk end which call SAP to get the DATA via RFC mode :
In SAP we have two things
1. if DATA size is small (below 2 MB) like in last 1 hrs what are the sales contract created in SAP that need to updated in Microsoft other system than Biztalk will trigger a job at 1 hr interval or on deemand to get the detail which directly we pick from data base or using BAPI to get the detail via RFC.
2. If Data Size is large (more than 2 MB) like total transation happened in a day for all customers: then we wriiting the data in OS or application server and that job also get initiated from Biztalk end by sending any parameter to SAP.
advantage of using BizTalk is most of the control you can give it to them so they can run there job on deemand basis.
There is a something known as web service we can use to avoid Interfacing tool, but I dont have much Idea about that,
and please check how many interfacing point is there with SAP in your project, because if Interfacing points are more then I think it is not good to write a web services for so many things.
do let me know if you need further information.

Error while uploading report in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online

I have created a report using fetch-xml query for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. In this field, I have created a custom enity which has "Last Accessed Date Time" field of type "DateTime". This field stores the value in GTM. I am retrieving
the value of this field using fetch-xml query. Also, I want to calculate the difference between the current DateTime and the value (in the locale and not in GMT) of this field in "Hours Minutes Seconds" format. I
have written an expression for the same in reportas follows.
(IIF(((INT((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now))/60))>60), INT(((((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value),
DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now)))/60)) / 60), 0))
& "Hours"&
(IIF(((INT((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now))/60))>60), INT((((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second,DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value),
DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now)))/60) Mod 60), INT((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now))/60)))
& "Minutes" &
((DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value),
DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime(), DateTime.Now)) Mod 60)
& "Seconds"
This works fine in visual studio. But, when tried to upload the same report in CRM Online organization, it gives the following error.
Any idea how to solve this issue?

I have found the following useful link-
- support.microsoft.com/.../en-us
The error occurred because I have used some functions("Int", "DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Parse(Fields!new_lastaccesseddatetime.Value), DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime()") in my ssrs report which are not supported by CRM Online., though
it works fine in visual studio.

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.

Hi there,
If you already have two different Microsoft Online services accounts, then this is no easy task. If you sign up for two Microsoft Online services, using two different Microsoft Online services ID's, you basically need to choose which one to throw away, and
then do a migration from one to another.
If you have a lot of data in both of them, you could cross your fingers, and make a Service Request to Microsoft, hoping that they could do some magic for you, or at least tell you which migration track that's the easiest one.
The important part is that you first sign in to the service you want to keep, and then register for a new one using Sign in, in stead of Sign up. This way they are automatically liked to the same Windows Azure Active Directory tenant.
I hope I understood your question, and was able to help you here.

Hi
DeviceidManager.cs was causing the problem. I used simple codes and it worked.
string CrmConnection crmConnection = CrmConnection.Parse("Url=" + crmserver + "; Username=" + username + "; Password=" + password + ";");
OrganizationService serviceProxy = new OrganizationService(crmConnection);

How to Repair Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2013 once the update rollup or service pack is installed?

Hello,
I am going through the following Technet article:
Repair Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2013 (
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699749(v=crm.6).aspx )
The repair option asks for the original CRM DVD media location. The problem is that how the repair procedure knows about the service packs or update rollup files location?
My concern is that the repair procedure replaced the update DLLs (or other files installed by CRM service pack installer) by the RTM files in the original setup DVD.
Is there any special consideration for repairing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2013 once the Service Pack or Update Rollup is installed?
Thank you,

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 issues with Safari 7 in Mavericks

Is anybody having issues with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and Safari 7 on Mavericks? For me, it constantly crashes and Safari shows me a message, telling me that there was a problem with the webpage, and has been reloaded. This is constant, and I can not work. Someone?

Same here.

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.

Signed DocuSign documents are not updating in Microsoft Dynamics CRM record

My organization uses DocuSign with our Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online instance.
When we first applied the DocuSign solution, we could send documents using the Send with Docusign feature and a signed version would be automatically up[dated in the same CRM record when the process was complete.
Recently, the signed copies are not updating in the CRM.

We don't know. Better to ask over here.

Helix and Microsoft Dynamics - performance question

Dear all,
I'm testing Lenovo Helix to work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. A strange issue has occured during test: when the tablet is working on WiFi, MSD performance can be a bit sluggish. In the airplane mode, MSD gets a boost performing way better than when connected to the internet.
I have been browsing the internet for a while now and cannot find any explanation on this but found nothing. Don't know if the issue is tablet-related or MSD-related.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Pawel

I am assuming you are using MS CRM through outlook, not the browser.
So when you switch of your internet connection and have the offline client installed, it will revert to offline mode. Which can be faster because of:
1. Data is not traveling over the network, only to a local web server on your machine
2. The amount of data/plugins etc. you have localy is probably much lower, based on how you setup your offline filters
Try pinging the MS CRM server and see what the latency is. If it's higher than say 100ms this might be the cause of performance degredation. Of course it depends a lot on the implementation. If you have a lot of client side scripting / SL web resources which communicate with the server, the connection speed (latency) between you and the server will matter a lot.
In general if you are having performance issues with the Helix check what speed the CPU is running at. This machine, among other issues, has a tendency to get stuck at 0.6-0.8 GHz and not get any higher, which has a massive impact on performance.
This especially happens when you allow it to run out of battery juice (like keeping it at sleep for a longer period).
Solution is to do a hard reset of the tablet and the base through the small holes near the power ports.

URGENT- Are there adapters for any Microsoft Dynamics modules?

We would like to use Microsoft Dynamics instead of Oracle CRM. Are there any adapter for any Microsoft CRM or Dynamics modules to Oracle Apps ?

I don't think Oracle has any adapters for Microsfot CRM. Check with iWay(www.iwaysoftware.com). They may have something.
