I get an unknown error while fetching OrganizationData.svc service

hi

I just want to fetch the OrganizationData.svc in the browser, in the first call I use the admin username and password and then I get the so much annoying unhelpful error:

Request Error

The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.

it seems to be IIS error rather than CRM error. I have checked some trace files of CRM using Dynamics CRM Trace Reader and also have enabled tracing using Diagnostics tool for microsoft CRM, I have also enabled Dev errors using the latter tool. 

I have also put a web.config file inside the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\XRMServices\2011" folder withe below content to enable tracing and showing some errors but I still get the above damn error.

there is also nothing about the error in the event viewer (windows logs->application) of windows (win server 2008R2)...

            </source>
            <source name="System.IdentityModel">
                <listeners>
                    <add name="xml" />
                </listeners>
            </source>
        </sources>

        <sharedListeners>
            <add name="xml"
                 type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener"
                 initializeData="c:\log\Traces.svclog" />
        </sharedListeners>
    </system.diagnostics>
<system.serviceModel>

    <behavior name="debug">
      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

I'm really confused.

Any clue guys?

    hi,

    my problem is a little bit different since everytime i fetch the url i get the same error.

    by the way, is it related to the setting in the crm server about the url of the webservice.

    in the properties of the crm server in the crm deplyment manager, the url is CRMSERVER:80

  • RE: I get an unknown error while fetching OrganizationData.svc service

    hi,

    i am just fetching the below url in the IE browser after providing username/password and I get this error. I'm not getting this because of using a plugin and so on...

    http://server-ip-address/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc 
    or
    http://crmserver/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/

    hi supereric,

    if it is sandbox plugin you cant call the web service or web API from dat sandbox plugin... you can call the web service or web API from none plugin only.

    if this information is helpful for you please make it as verified

    Thanks
