ID3242: The security token could not be authenticated or authorized error in Report Designer (Dynamics 365, CRM 2016 Online)


While working on Report we suddenly started getting the below error

The strange thing was that the other reports that were using the same data source in the same Report Project were working properly.

Find few posts

Tried creating a new data source, entered credentials repeatedly but nothing worked, eventually restarted the SQL Server Data Tools (IDE) and it fixed the issue.

Recommended Field showing up as Required Field Issue in Dynamics 365


Hi,

Yesterday while doing the analysis of how the existing solution which uses legacy form rendering works for new form rendering, we found a weird issue.

The field which we were setting as recommended through JavaScript was appearing as required. However, its behavior was like recommended field only i.e. we can save the form without specifying value for it.

In left the fields in legacy form rendering and in right Turbo forms or new form rendering

If we inspect through debugger, it seems like the issue is in the image that is being set

We are still analyzing it.

Hope it helps..

Parallel.For vs ExecuteMultiple in Dynamics 365


Hi,

Thought of getting a rough idea on how much performance improvement we can gain if we are using Parallel.For and ExecuteMultiple.

Took a very simple scenario i.e. creating 10000 account records.

Normal For Loop 3242061 milliseconds à 54 minutes à 185 records per minute
Parallel.For 2160337 milliseconds à 36 minutes à 277 records per minute
ExecuteMultiple (single request with batch size of 1000) 494663 milliseconds à 8 minutes à 1250 records per minute

This clearly tells ExecuteMultiple far better.

The sample code that I used for Parallel.For

Hope it helps..
