Generic SQL error in CRM 2015 Online (and earlier)

Recently we were getting the Generic SQL Error in one of our Plugin which was registered in Create of Opportunity Line.

The scenario was that on qualifying the lead, opportunity was getting created and we had Async Plugin on Create of Opportunity that will create an Opportunity Line and had Sync Plugin on Create of Opportunity Line that was updating the parent Opportunity. This issue was occurring randomly.

We observed the following, that if both the Plugin are registered as Sync or Async the issue doesn’t occur. It also doesn’t occur if we have Opportunity Plugin on Create as Sync and the one on Opp. Line as Async.

The other way of solving the issue was to introduce delay before updating the Parent Opportunity from the child opportunity line create Plugin.

Hope this helps..

RetrieveMultiple performance on large datasets

Using TPL in CRM

Dreaming in CRM & Power Platform

EDIT (21/05/15): After DMing with @maustinjones, I have added stat for paged RetrieveMultiple as well. I have updated the post to include this.

EDIT (22/05/15): Updated post to reflect correct behaviour of no-lock when parallelising. Thanks @maustinjones. Please also refer to the follow up post -> http://dreamingincrm.com/2015/05/22/redux-retrievemultiple-on-large-datasets/ on why paging cookie, is the recommended approach.

MSCRM limits the maximum result size to 5000 records, when you use the RetrieveMultiple request. In order to overcome this and retrieve all the records, you’ll have to use paging. PFEDynamics team have also released an open-source library called PFE Xrm Core Library that utilises Task Parallel Library.

There is also ExecuteMultipleRequest that you can use to send bunch of requests in one go, and process the responses. This just wanted to document by findings, about the performance of these options:

Just using Parallel.ForEach
ExecuteMultipleRequest
PFE Xrm Core
Paged RetrieveMultiple

Writing Scripts for SubGrids with CRM 2015 Update 1

crmcooking

With the release of CRM 2015 Update 1 we can write supported scripts to get information from the subgrids.

Before CRM Online 2015 Update 1 the only unique method for the subgrid control was refresh.

As an Xrm.Page.ui control, GridControl also has all the standard control methods: getControlType, Label methods, getParent,Visible methods, setFocus, and Notification methods as well as refresh

OnLoad event

Add event handlers to this event to run every time the subgrid refreshes. This includes when users sort the values by clicking the column headings. Use the GridControl.addOnLoad and GridControl.removeOnLoad methods to manage event handlers, usually in the form Onload event.

Example :

Xrm.Page.getControl("Contacts").addOnLoad(<functionname>);

getEntityName

Use this method to get the logical name of the entity data displayed in the grid.

getGrid

Use this method to get access to the Grid available in the GridControl.

getViewSelector

Returns the
