A managed solution cannot overwrite a Saved Query component on the target system that has unmanaged base instance error while importing a managed solution in CRM 2011


Hi,

While trying to import a managed solution I was getting the below error.

The reason being the SavedQuery component created by the Activity Feeds Solution in source and target environment has the same id. And it is unmanaged component in the target environment and the managed solution that we were trying to import has the same component as managed.

Commenting out all the savedquery from the customizations.xml and importing the solution back solved the issue

Hope it helps.

Cleared MB5 858 Managing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Implementations Exam


I took and cleared the MB5 858 exam today. It had 70 questions divided into 3 sections with 140 minutes to answer them.

I used following resources for preparation

The questions were more or less intuitive. Someone who implemented Sure Step methodology in the project and have gone through the above resources would be able to answer them easily.

Open Report in a new window from Action in SSRS


Hi,

While developing a SSRS report, initially we set the Action property of the text box with the following value that will open the CRM’s Account record

=Parameters!CRM_URL.Value & “?ID={“&Fields!accountid.Value.ToString()&”}&OTC=1″

It was working fine however when we were using the same report inside the Dashboard, the report was not showing up properly as it was inside the IFrame.

So we had to use window.open for the Action’s Expression to open the report properly in a new window from inside Dashboard’s iframe.

=“javascript:void(window.open(‘”+ Parameters!CRM_URL.Value + “?ID={“ + Fields!accountid.Value.ToString() +“}&OTC=1′ ,’_blank’))”

Hope it helps.

System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework while registering plugin in CRM 2011


Hi,

One of my colleagues was getting the above error while trying to register the plugin using plugin registration tool. This was because the plugin was copied from a network location and hence blocked. Right clicking the plugin assembly, selecting properties and then selecting unblock in the Security section of the General tab resolved the issue.
