Fatal error during installation- Microsoft Dynamics CRM Report Authoring Extension Setup.


Hi,

Was getting the below error while trying to install

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Report Authoring Extension (with SQL Server Data Tools support)

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40343g

The solution was to delete the following registry key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\0EF1E6B4EFCDA2649B26A424D56DAACD

 

After deleting the key the installation was successful.

“The formula is empty” exception while importing solution in CRM 2015


Got this error while trying to import a managed solution.

It was giving this error for Calculated fields.

On checking these fields in the source CRM realized that these fields were missing Action in them.

Adding appropriate action to them and then exporting and importing the same solution worked fine.

Hope it helps..

Query execution time of 60 seconds exceeded the threshold of 10 seconds warning in CRM 2013.


Query execution time of 60 seconds exceeded the threshold of 10 seconds warning in CRM 2013.

We were getting the below warning in one of our test environment

On analyzing figured out that one of the plugin was using retrieve with ColumnSet(true) option i.e. retrieving all the columns of the entity which was not required in this case.

Fetching only the required columns fixed the warning.

The other option could have been indexing or increate the value for LongQueryThersholdInSeconds column in ServerSetingProperties table of MSCRM_Config.
