Recently while testing upgrade from ClickDimensions version 8.7.1 to 9.2.5 we ran into few JavaScript issues in Email Sends form. We had multiple Email Sends form for different business units.
To fix them we had to take the below steps
Add the following JavaScript in OnLoad on the form.
Add following fields on the form.

This one feature that I am going to pen down here, personally I have longing for it quite sometime now.
So before going into the HOW part of it, let’s understand the why part of it? When do I need show a Lookup dialog Programmatically? Well the answer is, numerous occasions. Like if you need to throw up a lookup dialog on change of field on the form OR you needed to throw the lookup dialog on click of a button on a web-resource.
All this time, we have achieved this but not in a supported way. Probably we may have ended up using or some method of rnal namespace. But all these are unsupported and mere workaround to this perennial problem.
Well, no more messing around. Microsoft has finally brought in the
So let’s see how it works.
Let’s take a not so good example here. Let’s say whenever…

Recently we had a requirement to Upsert Customer’s Spend related information from SQL DB to our CRM Online.
We had the spend captured per brand wise in the DB as shown below.
And in our CRM, we had one custom entity that had fields corresponding to each of these Brand as shown below
i.e. one section for each Brand and inside that section 5 fields corresponding to the columns in the SQL Table.
The GCR column of the table was the Alternate Key column in our custom entity which we used for Upsert.
Now to make sure we update only the corresponding Brand fields in CRM, we can make use of Conditional Split Transformation component.
Just after OLE DB source, add a Conditional Split component
Create one output per brand i.e. (select distinct Brand from the source table records) as shown below
Now add a CRM Destination Component and bind it to the corresponding output
And inside Columns section, map only the corresponding field of the selected Brand.
The finished package à

Hi,
Recently while working in a data integration task, we were evaluating the performance of using KingswaySoft’s Dynamics 365 Toolkit from within Visual Studio by trying out different possible combinations of batch size and threads.
The environment was CRM Online and had concurrent ExecuteMultiple max limit set to 20.
By default, it is set as 2 for online, but we can raise support ticket with Microsoft to get this limit increased. However, we need be very careful while using them as large number of ExecuteMultiple running in parallel might degrade the performance.
Below are the 2 settings that we played around in the CRM Destination Component
These are the results we got with different batch size and thread.
It clearly shows that having batch size as 100 gives the best result.
And this is what is recommended by KingswaySoft as well.

While running one of our package we got the below error in few of the records
“CRM service call returned an error: CRM service call returned an error: The server is busy and the request was not completed. Try again later. (Error Code: -2147180543, Detail Message: The server is busy and the request was not completed. Try again later.)”
“CRM service call returned an error: CRM service call returned an error: The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:01:59.7991956. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. (Error Type / Reason: Timeout)”
One way to get around this error is to increase the Timeout (secs) in the Service Timeout Setting of CRM Connection Manager.
We updated it to 600 seconds and the number of records that failed got drastically reduced.
Also make sure that following option is checked
Hope it helps..
Recently while inserting a custom entity (Transaction) records using the CRM Destination Component we realized that Contact’s lookup was not being set.
We were using Alternate Key to set the lookup as shown below
To get it working we had to uncheck the Remove Unresolvable References option from the Optional Settings of CRM Destination Component. It seemed that it ignored it, even though values were there for the GCR (alternate key field) in the input source.
I think it might not be working as expected in case if lookup is done using Alternate Key.
BTW, I would strongly recommend using KingswaySoft’s SSIS Integration Toolkit for any or all data integration tasks. It is definitely the best tool out there.
Give it a try à
