Posted on by ali shoja 227

hi

I am getting the below exception while upgrading MS CRM 2015 to MS CRM 2016 in the view log file of the Import wizard.

By using below query I found the which entity is causing the issue,

It returns the entity name "KnowledgeBaseRecord":

select * from MetadataSchema.Entity where EntityId = '80078999-5cd1-ea11-80ce-0050569d457e'

The dependent component Entity (Id=1eda6b9d-8419-e411-8e13-0024e8412450) does not exist.
Failure trying to associate it with EntityRelationshipRole (Id=80078999-5cd1-ea11-80ce-0050569d457e) as a dependency.
Missing dependency lookup type = PrimaryKeyLookup.

how can i resolve this  issue? 

Thanks

    Hi Ali,

    Id=1eda6b9d-8419-e411-8e13-0024e8412450, it seems like, this is the lookup field which got removed from the knowledgebase entity. But the relationship which got created because of this , still exist. So, you need to remove this relationship from your development evironment or add the field in the target enviroment to create the relationship

    Hello Ali,

    You would need to fix it the issue in CRM 2015 first before upgrading and to resolve the issue, please refer to #point 1 under resolution section on this article - support.microsoft.com/.../there-was-an-error-calculating-dependencies-for-this-component-missing
