Fixed – Assembly must be registered in isolation error while trying to register plugin \ custom workflow activity in Isolation Mode None in Dynamics 365 On Premise

While trying to register our custom workflow activity from Isolation mode – Sandboxed to None for Dynamics 365 On Premise we got the below error

This was because the user through which we were trying to register the plugin in None Isolation Mode using Plugin Registration Tool was not having Deployment Administrator role.

Adding the user to that Deployment Administrator role through Deployment Manager fixed the issue.

Scribe Insight Limitation – XML Source doesn’t support repeating sibling nodes

Recently we were evaluating Scribe Insight as our Integration tool for one of our clients. The requirement was to read an xml and create records in Dynamics 365 CE.

The basic structure was something like below, with Account as the parent tag and Payment, Assets, Consumer as repeating child nodes of Account i.e. 1 – n.

However, to our surprise when we started defining the same structure in the XML Component within Scribe Workbench we got the below error message à

—————————

XML Component

—————————

Repeating nodes are not supported for cousins, siblings, etc. Multiple repeating nodes must be related linearly to repeating nodes that already exist. Thus, a new repeating node must be a grandparent, parent, child, grandchild, etc., to an existing repeating node.

—————————

Interestingly enough the same limitation doesn’t exist in Scribe Online. Had posted something similar few days’ back on that

https://nishantrana.me/2019/01/14/scribe-online-working-with-hierarchical-data-in-dynamics-365-ce/

As we wanted to go with something that works in On Premise setup we went ahead with SSIS Productivity Pack of KingswaySoft https://www.kingswaysoft.com/products/ssis-productivity-pack which had XML components that works perfectly well with this kind of schema or structure.

Hope it helps..

contextUserId is missing privilege ae5c41f0-e823-4cb9-b25a-8ef020201973 error in WebAPI

We were getting the below error while using impersonation in our WebAPI

2019-02-26_1044

Searching for the privilege id we got the following detail

{“@odata.etag”:”W/\”47875405\””,”overwritetime”:”1900-01-01T00:00:00Z”,”solutionid”:”fd140aad-4df4-11dd-bd17-0019b9312238″,”introducedversion”:”8.2.0.0″,”canbebasic”:false,”canbedeep”:false,”ismanaged”:false,”accessright”:32,”canbeglobal”:true,”privilegeid”:”ae5c41f0-e823-4cb9-b25a-8ef020201973″,”canbeentityreference”:false,”privilegerowid”:”1b218262-afac-4859-b9e0-c8c0f6550231″,”componentstate”:0,”canbelocal”:false,”versionnumber”:47875405,”canbeparententityreference”:false,”name”:”prvActOnBehalfOfAnotherUser“},

So the user was missing the Act On Behalf Of Another User privilege

Fixed – Copy Paste not working in Remote Desktop Connection – Windows 10

Copy and Paste which was working as usual suddenly stopped working one fine day.

Other common Windows issue –RDP not saving credentials

https://nishantrana.me/2018/10/28/fixed-windows-10-remote-desktop-rdp-not-saving-credentials/

Had the following setting enabled

Restarted the following process on the remote machine, but that also didn’t help.

Finally updating the following setting on the remote machine helped fix the issue

Go to command prompt – open Local Group Policy Editor

gpedit

Navigate to: Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Remote Desktop Services \ Remote Desktop Session Hosts \ Device and Resource Redirection \ Do not allow clipboard redirection

Although it was not configured so it should not have affected the setting, however explicitly set is as Disabled.

Restart the remote server. This fixed the issue. (do the same for the client machine as well if that doesn’t work).

Hope it helps..

{Advanced Customization}10 Tips to design CRM Views like a Pro

Nice tips !

MSDYNAMICSBLOG BY DEEPESH

Here are a set of 10 Tips to design CRM Views like a Pro:

Try to limit the number of columns on the View and limit the number of scrolls that are required to be done on the View. Usually, end users do not like to scroll more than 2 times even on the Web client. Also, more the number of columns, slower the view will load as it has performance implications.
In case views show All Records then out of box status field (Active/Inactive) makes sense to be put on the View. As an example, for “Active Accounts does not make sense to show status field since this is self-explanatory and applied at the filter level itself. The column space can be saved to add another relevant column.
Place generic fields such as Created On/ Modified On, Created By/Modified by towards the end of your View column definition. This…

These are functions to find one or more records in a table.

	Matches by a formula or a single string *	*Multiple formulas accepted*	*Returns multiple* *records or a single record*	*Returns the subset of the original dataset or one value*	*No record found*	*Function to check if no record found*
*Filter*	Formula	Yes	Multiple	Subset	Empty table	IsEmpty
*Search*	String	No	Multiple	Subset	Empty table	IsEmpty
*Lookup*	Formula	No	First Single	One value	Blank	IsBlank

*The formula is evaluated for each record of the table. Records that result in true are included in the result. Besides the normal formula operators, you can use the in and exactinoperators for substring matches.

Fields of the record currently being processed are available within the formula. You simply reference them by name as you would any other value. You can also reference control properties and other values from throughout your…
