31/10/201310/05/2017 | by Andrew Butenko | 23 Comments

In CRM 2013 Microsoft released a really great feature – OOB integration with BingMaps. Unfortunately, the list of entities that support BingMaps control is limited to Account, Contact, Lead, Quote, Order, Invoice, Competitor, and System User.

I haven’t updated my VM to latest updates for a long time and I decided to do that today. After Rollup was installed, I saw message that said Rollup was not applied to one or several organizations. I ignored that message and tried to log into CRM. I got following error:

MS CRM 2011: Add new Deployment Administrator through SQL

21/01/2013 | by Andrew Butenko | 1 Comment

Here is a short script that has to be executed against MSCRM_Config db to add a new deployment administrator:

Declare @DomainName Varchar(Max)
Set @DomainName = 'Put new deployment admin login here'--i.e. 'ContosoAdministrator'

Declare @Id uniqueidentifier
Select @Id = Id From mscrm_config..SystemUser Where Name = @DomainName

if (@Id is null)
Begin
    Set @Id = NEWID()
    INSERT INTO mscrm_config..SystemUser(Id, Name, DefaultOrganizationId) 
    VALUES(@Id, @DomainName, '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')
End

INSERT INTO mscrm_config..SystemUserRoles(Id, SecurityRoleId, SystemUserId) 
VALUES(NEWID(), (Select Id From mscrm_config..SecurityRole Where Name = 'Administrator'), @Id)

Declare @DomainName Varchar(Max)

Set @DomainName = 'Put new deployment admin login here'--i.e. 'ContosoAdministrator'

Declare @Id uniqueidentifier

Select @Id = Id From mscrm_config..SystemUser Where Name = @DomainName

if (@Id is null)

Begin

Set @Id = NEWID()

INSERT INTO mscrm_config..SystemUser(Id, Name, DefaultOrganizationId)

VALUES(@Id, @DomainName, '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')

End

INSERT INTO mscrm_config..SystemUserRoles(Id, SecurityRoleId, SystemUserId)

VALUES(NEWID(), (Select Id From mscrm_config..SecurityRole Where Name = 'Administrator'), @Id)

So the only thing you need to do is to put a domain name of the new deployment administrator in a format DOMAIN\Login like Contoso\Administrator. This trick is 100% unsupported and can lead to a …

MS CRM 2011: Open new activity form with ‘Regarding’ field prefilled

11/01/2013 | by Andrew Butenko | 13 Comments

I had a task today to open a new task form with the Regarding field prefilled. Based on the SDK description, I tried to use following code to accomplish my task:

var params = {
    regardingobjectid: referenced record id,
    regardingobjectidtype: referenced record type name,
    regardingobjectidname: referenced record display name
};

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("task", null, params);

var params = {

regardingobjectid: referenced record id,

regardingobjectidtype: referenced record type name,

regardingobjectidname: referenced record display name

};

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("task", null, params);

Unfortunately, this code failed. I looked for some explanation and found it in the SDK in the same article I mentioned before. The …

All developers who developed JavaScripts for CRM read this article. But there is no info about getting data from fields of “Close dialogue” (like opportunity close). I’ve made a little research on this theme and here is the result:
