Unhandled Exception with Custom workflow - Dynamics CRM CRM 2015

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 739

Dear Experts,

Recently I have faced a strange issue in Dynamics CRM 2015 On-Premise instance. 

Functionality:

We have a custom workflow that schedule to run daily, this will update an Entity1 record status. 

On Entity1 Status update, we have plug-in to update Entity2. 

On Entity2 Status update, we have plug-in to update Entity3.

On Entity3 Status update, we have plug-in to update Entity4 (Master Entity).

Basically, 3 level of Plug-ins. All these plug-ins registered as Synchronous. 

In this scenario, we have only 1 Master record and all the 55 records are trying to update this one record. 

Issue:

Custom workflow ran on 55 records at a time, first 15 records were completed as successful and other records went to waiting stage. Server Event viewer logged different types of errors and some of the errors summary as below:

Initial Error:

ServerName; CrmAsyncService.exe (1908); ACF75705; execution time:00:01:25.4526639/ServerName; Microsoft.Crm.Sandbox.HostService.exe (2764); D1FF8028; execution time:00:01:25.4526639; Plug-in Name, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cd55c642b9a72843:Plug-inName/ServerName; Microsoft.Crm.Sandbox.WorkerProcess.exe (4504); 539A2153; execution time:00:01:04.9520100/-

Error-1:

Inner Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.

Note: I have googled the issue and some blogs suggested to declare the "Server" object at Execute function level instead of Class level. I have verified, all the Plug-ins steps are registered at Execute function level only. 

Kindly let me know what is causing the error?

    This is likely caused by deadlocks in SQL Server.

    Here's a related thread: https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f858bd11-237f-41fa-8fca-83c78fee32a3/bug-crm-2011-executing-workflow-on-multiple-records-gives-sometimes-status-failed-or-waiting?forum=crmdevelopment

    If you're using QueryExpression in your plug-ins, check into setting NoLock to true, if this makes sense for what your plug-ins need to do.

    Since you're running on-premises CRM, you can use SQL tools to check for deadlocks. Check with your database admin for assistance.

    From your description of your plug-ins, I believe a redesign might be necessary. Can you post one of the plug-ins so we can look into this further?
