Navigate to Environment >> Settings >> Data Management >> View Deleted Records to view the deleted records.

We can select the records and click on Restore to get the deleted records back

We can see the records removed from the Deleted Records view.

Below we can see the restored records – we can also see the Modified On updated.

The feature applies at the environment level, we cannot specify it for individual tables currently. Only the main deleted record and related records deleted via the cascaded relationship behavior will be restored. If a related record is deleted as part of custom business logic, it will not be restored.

Below let us delete the Contact record which has a case and an opportunity record associated.

On deleting the Case the child case and lead records also get deleted.

However, we do not see those records in the Deleted records list only the main (parent) Contact record.

On restoring the deleted contact restores the child case and opportunity record also.

The selected system job could not be deleted. Only completed system jobs can be deleted – Delete Recurring Bulk Deletion Jobs (Dynamics 365 / Dataverse)

While trying to delete a Recurring Bulk Deletion Job we would get the below error.

“The selected system job could not be deleted. Only completed system jobs can be deleted”

The way we can delete them is first to Cancel them.

Next is to update the recurrencestarttime column value to 9999-12-31 for it.

We can use our wonderful XrmToolBox Plugin – Bulk Data Updater for it.

This updates the Postponse Until value in the background.

Now if we try deleting it, we will be able to delete it successfully.

Fixed – Action Failed: A record with matching key values already exists (DuplicateRecord)– Power Automate / Dataverse

Recently while testing one of our old existing flows, we got the below error

Action ‘Create_Child_Log_Record’ failed: A record with matching key values already exists.

{

“error”: {

“code”: “0x80040237”,

“message”: “A record with matching key values already exists.”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.ErrorDetails.ApiExceptionSourceKey”: “Plugin/Microsoft.Crm.ObjectModel.CustomBusinessEntityService”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.ErrorDetails.ApiStepKey”: “38200c13-a28e-ee11-be36-002248933483”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.ErrorDetails.ApiDepthKey”: “1”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.ErrorDetails.ApiExceptionMessageName”: “DuplicateRecord”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.ErrorDetails.ApiExceptionHttpStatusCode”: “412”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.ErrorDetails.SqlExceptionMessage”: “Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint ‘PK_childBase’. Cannot insert duplicate key in object ‘dbo.bew_logBase’. The duplicate key value is .”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.HelpLink”: “http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398563&error=Microsoft.Crm.CrmException%3a80040237&client=platform”,

“@Microsoft.PowerApps.CDS.InnerError.Message”: “Cannot insert duplicate key.”

}

Basically on Create or Update of the Parent Record it was creating a corresponding child log record, recording changes in the status field of the parent record.

The issue was in the Create Child Log record step, here it was setting the Primary Key Field / GUID field of the Child Log record being created with the GUID of the Parent record.

This worked for the 1st record, but when trying to create any new record with the same parent’s GUID, it was throwing the duplicate exception as it would be the same parent GUID getting specified.

On clearing that field, and letting the system generate the GUID, the flow ran successfully.

Hope it helps..

Fixed- Flow not getting triggered (Callback Registration)– Power Automate / Dataverse

Recently in one of our test environments, the out the box flow – “Deserialization of Inspection Definition” wasn’t getting triggered even when it was in the On state.

This was because the “CallbackRegistrationExpanderFilter” operation was failing with the below error.

Unexpected failure during ValidateUserAccessCached. Ex: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault]: The specified user(Id) is disabled. Consider enabling this user. Additional Details: User IsDisabled=True, IsLicensed=True. ImpersonatingSystemUserId. (Fault Detail is equal to Exception details:

ErrorCode: 0x80040225

Message: The specified user(Id = xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxx) is disabled. Consider enabling this user. Additional Details: User IsDisabled=True, IsLicensed=True. ImpersonatingSystemUserId=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxx)

TimeStamp: 2024-05-20T21:50:42.6724270Z

More on Callback Registration Expander Job – https://rajeevpentyala.com/2021/01/30/callback-registration-expander-system-jobs-waiting-for-resources/

This was because the flow’s corresponding Callback Registration record’s Owner was a user whose account was now disabled in CRM.

So the option to fix was to Turn off and Turn On the flow, which will delete the old callback registration record and will create a new one with the user who is turning off / on the flow. Updating the owner of the flow will not work here, as it won’t update the existing callback registration record.

Also we had another observation, if a callback registration is owned by a user who is a proper / enabled user in CRM, simply turning off and on the flow using a different user account will not delete the existing callback registration record and create a new one with that particular user as the owner. In this case we will have to explicitly delete the existing callback registration record.

Hope it helps..

Fixed – Resource not found for the segment action error – Power Automate / Dataverse

Recently we got the error for one of our flows – Resource not found for the segment ‘dow_ArtefactMoveNotesAttacmentToBlob’.

The flow was running fine with no errors a couple of days back.

On trying to edit the flow we can see it not listing the action in the Perform an unbound action step, instead giving “Request to XRM API failed with error: ‘ Message:Code:InnerError:’.

Eventually, as the error message suggests, we realized that the dev team had unregistered the action and registered a new action in its place. Updating the action to use the correct / new action fixed the issue for us.

The error could also show up if the action is in the disabled state.
