I had to call an on demand workflow through a custom button click inside the ribbon. I thought of using launchOnDemandWorkflow function.

http://inogic.blogspot.com/2009/06/call-workflow-from-isv-button.html

But couldn’t really find a way of calling that function.

So thought of calling it through its url, which would be something like this

http://servername/orgname/_grid/cmds/dlg_runworkflow.aspx?

iObjType=10004

&iTotal=1

&sIds=%7b4BEBDCAF-8F66-E011-A475-00155D045711%7d%3b

&wfId=%7bF0ED25C7-5129-4297-8515-69DFFA0739FF%7d

function CallOnDemandWorkflow() {

var recordID = crmForm.ObjectId;

var url = “http://server/org/_grid/cmds/dlg_runworkflow.aspx?iObjType=10004&iTotal=1&sIds={“ + recordID + “}&wfId={F0ED25C7-5129-4297-8515-69DFFA0739FF}”;

window.open(url);

}

However I keep getting some JavaScript Error.

Finally found out the correct way of doing so.

function CallOnDemandWF() {

var a = new Array(crmFormSubmit.crmFormSubmitId.value);

var sIds = crmFormSubmit.crmFormSubmitId.value+“;”;

var sEntityTypeCode = “10004”; //Replace this with your entity type code

var sWorkflowId = “{F0ED25C7-5129-4297-8515-69DFFA0739FF}”; //Replace this with your actual workflow ID

var iWindowPosX = 500; //Modal dialog position X

var iWindowPosY = 200; //Modal dialog position Y

var oResult = openStdDlg(prependOrgName(“/_grid/cmds/dlg_runworkflow.aspx”)+“?iObjType=” + CrmEncodeDecode.CrmUrlEncode(sEntityTypeCode) + “&iTotal=” +

CrmEncodeDecode.CrmUrlEncode(a.length) + “&wfId=” + CrmEncodeDecode.CrmUrlEncode(sWorkflowId)+ “&sIds=” + CrmEncodeDecode.CrmUrlEncode(sIds) , a, iWindowPosX, iWindowPosY);

}

Bye.

I was getting the above error while uninstalling CRM 2011 Server beta.

Uninstalling Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 for Microsoft Office Outlook before uninstalling Server resolved the issue.

After restoring the database to the server, I got the following error while importing the organization using the Deployment Manager

The build version of the database that I was importing was different than the build version of the database of the organization that I already had there.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946594 ( to find the build version of the database)

The one we were importing had higher build version.

Than we installed the update for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Release Candidate

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2461082

Restarted the server and was able to import the organization successfully.

Hope it helps.
