Dynamics CRM 2015 to 2016 Upgrade Issue

Posted on by 630

Hello,

I have this exception when trying to upgrade a Dynamics CRM 2015 organization to 2016 with SP1 version 

System.Exception: Error.ActionFailed Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.ImportDefaultDataAction ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Error while importing workflow {8b12a2c7-088c-49aa-93b3-b618e2b26ea4} name Opportunity Revenue Rule ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Error generating UiData for workflow:, id:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

After a lot of search, all people who had this issue are talking about old CRM dlls registered in GAC. But this is a totally new CRM 2016 installation and I searched the GAC and found only two CRM assemblies that are automatically registered in GAC 

Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy

Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.XmlSerializers

Please your help.

Thanks..

    The workflow that causes the problem is a business rule that comes in Dynamics CRM out of the box. It is called opportunity rule revenue. And it is not customizable.

    Hi Osama, have you checked if any of the workflows you have on the old CRM is the one that is causing the error, the messages says something about importing a workflow.

    I remember that CRM 2015 had a lot of issues with the BPF´s
