  Prefix added to relationships when importing customizations Reply Contact Hello, At one of our customers, we have three IT environments available for CRM: Development, Test/ Acceptance and Production. We made our customizations in an earlier stage at our own development environment. I'm experiencing some issues when importing these customizations on one of the new environments at our customer. They are all clean installs of CRM, when importing our customizations all goes well on Test/ Acceptance and Production. But on the Development server when importing the customizations, a new prefix has been added to all the custom N-1 and 1-N relationships. E.g. so if the name of the original relationship is cm_account_cm_relationship, when it's imported the name has turned into: Cm_cm_account_cm_relationship (we use 'Cm' as the prefix for our customizations). The strange thing is every environment has been setup in the same way, but this only happens at this Development server. SQL has been setup case insensitive, so that shouldn't do this magic. Hope someone can give me some advise on this. Thank you in advance. Regards, Roy

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Prefix added to relationships when importing customizations Reply Contact Hi Frank, Thanks for taking time. (I'm on the same project) "The strange thing is every environment has been setup in the same way, but this only happens at this Development server. SQL has been setup case insensitive, so that shouldn't do this magic." - Wono Besides what he mentioned at first and to answer your question: The prefix is equal on both systems.   Settings -> system settings -> customization:     Prefix = 'Cm'     Example = 'cm_entity' There's a Capital 'C' in the prefix, but you can't do anything about that. MS CRM auto-capitalizes the first char of the field. When making customizations the 'cm' is used as prefix. We still don't have a clue how one customization.xml is differently handled by two similary setted up MS CRM installations... More ideas?

Due time pressure we just dropped that development environment and created a new one. If you find a solution, let me know. Good luck! Regards, Jorn
