Microsoft Dynamics 365 – Page 5 – Nishant Rana's Weblog

Fix – The FnO Integration solution install failed. HCMScheduling and HCMSchedulingAnchor solutions must be installed. See Field Service documentation for details (Dynamics 365 Field Service)

While trying to install Finance and Operations from Field Service Settings, we might encounter the following error.

“The FnO Integration solution install failed. Please contact your system administrator. HCMScheduling and HCMSchedulingAnchor solutions must be installed. See Field Service documentation for details.”

To fix it, we need to install the “Dynamics 365 Human Resources integration to URS” app.

However, while trying to install Dynamics 365 HR Integration to URS app, we got the following error –

HCMSchedulingAnchor

NotProvided

Unable to establish connection using data source: ‘Finance and Operations Virtual Data Source Configuration’. Failed to sync entity metadata. Ensure the data source is configured properly.

The fix was to install the Finance and Operations Virtual Entity app first.

After installing Finance and Operations Virtual Entity, we were able to install the Dynamics 365 HR Integration to URS app successfully.

That finally allowed us to install the FnO Integration (msdyn_FieldServiceFnOIntegration) in our Environment.

Hope it helps..

Fixed – The following solution cannot be imported: Dynamics365SupplyChainExtended. Some dependencies are missing – HCM Common (Dynamics 365)

While trying to install the Dual Write Supply Chain Extended Solution, we got the following error.

We had below apps already installed before installing the Supply Chain Extended Solution.

Dual-Write Application Core Solutions
Dual-write core Solution
Dual-write Dynamics 365 Human Resources
Dual-write Finance and Extended Solutions

Upon going through the documentation, we realized we were missing one dependent package.

We installed the Dynamics 365 HR Common Tables package first, and then on retrying the installation of Supply Chain package we didn’t get any error.

Hope it helps..

Resolve – This environment can’t be copied because your org (tenant) is over capacity. Request an extension (Dataverse / Dynamics 365)

When trying to overwrite another environment with a copy of Prod, the system prevented the operation due to exceeding tenant capacity limits. This copy operation is subject to environment and storage capacity constraints.

We raised a Microsoft Support Ticket and learned that we can resolve this issue by either purchasing additional storage or requesting free temporary storage to complete the copy operation.

We need to raise another support ticket for temporary storage, that includes below details

The amount of storage we need
The duration for which it should be available
The reason for the request

The maximum duration that can be requested is 6 months.

The maximum storage that can be requested is 200 % of what is purchased.

Thanks to Microsoft, within few mins of raising the support ticket we were provided the additional temporary storage.

We got our environment extended for 6 months with 200 GB additional capacity that allowed us to complete our copy environment.

Using Form fill Assist Toolbar to streamline data entry in Power Apps

We tried the AI Form Filling Assistance feature in model-driven Power Apps and found it very helpful. One part that we liked the most was the toolbar and file (preview). This makes it much easier to fill forms using information from uploaded documents.

To enable this feature, go to:

Environment → Settings → Features → Form fill assist toolbar (AI Form Fill Assistance)

Once enabled, we can simply upload or drag and drop a file — like a PDF, Word document, or image — and the assistant will read the file and suggest values for different form fields.

When we upload / drop a file like a PDF, Word, or image, the assistant reads the file and gives us suggestions to fill the form.

For example, if we upload the following file:

A close-up of a foreign passport

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

We can see that the assistant picks up values like First Name, Last Name, City, and Country, and populates them into our contact record.

Either we can accept all the suggestions using the Accept suggestions button on the tool bar or can select the suggested value for the individual fields by clicking yes next to it.

The assistant works at the tab level. For example, if we switch to the Details tab and upload the same image again, we might see fields like Birthday get populated — depending on what data is available and which fields are present in that tab.

The different file types supported are – .txt, .docx, .csv, .pdf, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp.

Let us now try uploading the below text file.

We can see it picking the first record and populating the details on the form.

This makes it simple and fast to enter data — especially when we are working with leads, contacts, or records that are usually based on data from documents or scanned forms.

Favorite your Actions and Connectors for quick retrieval in Cloud Flows (Power Automate)

With this new update in Power Automate, it’s now easier for us to find and use the actions and connectors we need. We can also quickly access tools and AI features while building flows. This helps save time and makes the flow-building experience smoother.

Here is a screenshot of the new connector and action pane in Power Automate, below we have added Dataverse connector and some of its action as favorites.

Earlier, when we clicked on the plus sign (+) to add a new action in our flow, it opened a big list of actions and connectors. It was hard to find the ones we used often, and we had to scroll a lot.

Now, with the new design, things are much easier. We can do the following:

– Mark any connector or action as a ‘Favorite’. These favorites will always show up at the top in a new Favorites section.

– Quickly see useful AI tools like ‘Run a prompt’ or ‘Process documents’ in a special AI section.

– Easily find basic tools like Control, Data Operation, and JSON under the Built-in tools section.

This change helps us find what we need faster. It’s especially useful if we often use the same connectors like Microsoft Dataverse or Excel.

Hope it helps..

How We Reclaimed Storage from the WebResourceBase Table in Dataverse

While reviewing our Dataverse environment’s storage usage, we noticed something surprising—over 13 GB of our file capacity was being consumed by the WebResourceBase table alone. This table typically stores JavaScript files, HTML web resources, images, and other files tied to customizations in Dynamics 365. However, the volume was unexpectedly high, prompting us to investigate further.

We started by examining the capacity usage charts available under:

Power Platform Admin Center > Resources > Capacity > File Usage

It was evident that the WebResourceBase table was consistently occupying around 13,027 MB (13 GB), far more than any other table.

Realizing that this wasn’t just normal customization data, we raised a support request with Microsoft to understand what was happening behind the scenes.

After a quick investigation, Microsoft Support responded with the following:

“Upon review, we have found that the WebResourceBase table is indeed occupying a significant amount of storage—13.027 GB. There are instances of ‘orphaned’ WebResourceBase records, which can occur due to solution uninstalls or as leftover artifacts from other entities that depend on WebResources. To address this issue, we can run a script to remove these orphaned web resources, which will help in reducing the storage used in your environment.”

These “orphaned” records are essentially detached or unused web resources—files that are no longer tied to any solution or customization but remain in storage. They commonly appear in environments where unmanaged solutions are frequently installed and removed.

Upon our approval, Microsoft executed a backend script to safely identify and remove these orphaned entries.

Post-Cleanup Results –

Before: 13,027 MB

After: 10009MB

Recovered: 3,018 MB (~3 GB)

This led to around a 24 percent reduction in the file capacity used by the WebResourceBase table.

Microsoft also confirmed that no further reduction was possible at this time—the remaining content is either actively referenced or structurally required by the platform.

Hope it helps..
