Forum Post: RE: CRM 2011 rollup 13 issues?

usgrant7 — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:06:00 GMT

I have a repeatable rollup 13 issue. KB2791312. 100% of my other Windows Updates succeed without error, but the updates for CRM Dynamics 2011 seem to hurl every time we get a rollup. My whole team, again, is dead in the water because a rollup doesn't work. Downloaded every manual update file there is, and tried to install them all, just to see if one would work. None of them do.

The i386 build does not work with an Intel 64 bit Windows 7 architecture. So my only other option is an AMD64? What??? Why isn't there an (x86) version of rollup 13? Why isn't this explained?

I have another issue. Being a member of the customer experience program I have been trying this install since it came out, 4/12/2013. But the Windows update gives me an FFFFFFFF error and when I trouble shoot it, it says its fixed. Then I error out the same way. We love CRM. We use it every single day. But we are consistently having installation issues with these rollups and no part of the "failure" puts us on anyone's map for follow up.

NVIDIA can get their updates right. So can other value centers. Why isn't this update capable of performing the same function?

When I click on the install "help with this error" there is no help.

When I search the error code, no links offer a practical solution to the KB2791312 error reported.

I did a search in this forum. No meaningful advice.

Can someone help us?

Forum Post: "Cannot access a disposed object." - SSRS

JoeRBS — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:51:00 GMT

Am receiving an error trying to preview a report in BIDS (using FetchXML queries pulled from advanced finds in CRM 2011). Everything is working fine until I add a 3rd dataset when I start to receive errors. The only tangible message is "Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'System.ServiceModel.Security.TransportSecurityProtocol'."

What does this mean?

Best check if there were any security implications associated with the extension i.e. additional security role.

kelvindavies11 — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:03:00 GMT

Hi guys, sounds like you already have a good idea of what you want. There are a number of approaches which you can apply:

Integrate product details with CRM

Real time integration with CRM - could develop a service which montors the SQL database (can be fired on SQL triggers) or any other input source. The service can monitor the input sources (when any CRUD operation is undertaken on the product details) and can create (any other CRUD command) the corresponding CRM product entities. This can easily be amended to integrate back into ERP( using Plug-ins, to identify changes to product details) i.e. 2-way integration.

Alternatively, create a custom web form which the user uses to display product details. This can have a button on it which can create a new reord (new_Product_Details), which stores the product details. This can then be associated with the user entity in crm (relationship - one to many). The problem with this approach is disconnected data and the reliablity of the information in CRM.

My personal recommendation would be to develop integration software which maintains the product details in CRM. It would not be overly complex and I am more than willing to help with the design and implementation if needed. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

Kind regards,

Kelvin

Blog Post: CRM 2011 native Import wizard - Dealing with humongous data files

Mani Ramachandran — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:55:00 GMT

While using the native CRM 2011 data import tool, the default file size that is acceptable is 8 MB. Yes, that is correct - 8MB. Not much, isn't it? Here are a few options to consider when the data to be imported exceeds the file import size.
Even though the default file import size in 8 MB, there is a supported way to increase the data file size to upto 32 MB, by making a change to the config database. But just increasing the file size is not enough, you also need to set the registry settings which would prevent a timeout due to the import running for a long time (I had some imports running for close to 2 hours). Here is a short description of the two registry entries that need to be added:

The OLEDBTimeout value
The unit of the OLEDBTimeout value is seconds. By default, the OLEDBTimeout value is 30 seconds. The OLEDBTimeout value controls the SQL time-out value that is used for a single SQL query. The increased OLEDBTimeout value is useful when the SQL server is overloaded. Additionally, the query takes a longer time to process.

The ExtendedTimeout value
The unit of the ExtendedTimeout value is milliseconds. By default, the ExtendedTimeout value is 1000000 milliseconds. The ExtendedTimeout value controls the ASP.NET time-out value that is used for import requests. The time-out value must be larger than the time for finishing the whole import process. The increased ExtendedTimeout value is useful when the import process takes a long time.

Now there might still be situations when the file size is bigger than 32MB. While researching how to break down the csv, I came across this really cool tool called CSV Splitter.

The CSV Splitter link will download a zip file that contains the compiled exe along with source code. To run the executable, you will need .Net Framework Version 1.1 installed.

Instructions:

1. Fill in necessary information:
CSV file: the path to the CSV that you wanted to split.
Number of lines: the maximum number of lines/rows in each splitted piece.
Max Pieces: limit the number of output files. '0' is unlimited.

2. Click "Split Now!". You can find the splitted pieces in the a new folder of the same directory of the CSV file.

When you open up the splitted pieces, you will notice that the first row still contains the right field names. Great time saver!

I think that was it. The issue was that I have a Lead form for the B2B group and a Form for the End-user group. The B2b group's form was not set for Enable fall back. Thanks.

Forum Post: RE: missing icons after apply RU12

KarlParsons — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:37:00 GMT

This is not fixed in Rollup 13, icons are still missing in all views/all entites. Previously sales persons flipping between Leads, Opps, Invoices, Accounts etc. could quickly see where they were in the system, this will cause many problems and many complaints.

Any further news on this issue?

Jeanne Harden — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:23:00 GMT

Josh - the Trace* keys do not exist in the MSCRM location on the CRM server. We have an application server and a SQL server - the MSCRM location does not exist on the SQL server. I think I would add the Trace* keys to the CRM server in that location - but just want to be sure before I do.

I got the location from the article - The Microsoft CRM server tracing registry entries are located in the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MSCRM

Hi Leonardo,

Basically when you export data you do it either in XML or XLS formats, so I would say that you can open such files in OpenOffice.

Thanks to all for your help.

It is indeed the problem with the relationship bahavior "reparent", which was set to "cascade all".

Now it would be nice to have a simple solution to remove the already created access rights to the owner of the accounts where they are not the owner of the opportunity.

Is this issue happening from the web client ?

If yes, is this issue happening for all the CRM users?

If yes, is this issue happening from multiple systems ?

if yes, is this issue happening from the CRM Server also?

If yes, Is this issue happening everywhere with in CRM while navigation>

If yes, did you see high CPU or Memory utilization into the CRM Server and into the SQL server ?
