I've created a plugin to create new records when a field changes on another record. I've set it all up but when I run it no records are created and CRM returns a SQL Timeout error. My code is below:
Entity contactSecurityRole = new Entity("sb_contactsecurityrole");
contactSecurityRole["sb_contactid"] = linkedContact;
contactSecurityRole["sb_contactportalsettingid"] = linkedContactPortalSetting;
contactSecurityRole["sb_portalsettingid"] = linkedPortalSetting;
contactSecurityRole["sb_portalsecurityroleid"] = linkedSecurityRole;
Service.Create(contactSecurityRole);
All the variables with a name starting "linked" are entity references to other entities, as the record is made up of lookup fields. I've done some checking and where it stops is where it comes to the actual Service.Create() part.
Can someone give me some tips on what to check so I can find why this is happening?
Update:
I've found the issue, and Greg was right it was a problem outside of the code I posted above. The issue was how I was setting up one of my "linked" variables, I was attempting to use a fetch request to retrieve a Guid for the record i needed to link to, from which I was setting up an entityreference.
The mistake I made was thinking that the fetch returned a Guid whereas it was actually returning an entityreference itself. So once I got that fixed the code ran through almost immediately. My guess was that because I was setting it up wrong, when it came to creating the entity CRM/SQL Server could enter the value so it returned the error.
Thanks for everybody's help with this
This will provide you some more clarity and the solution
I had this problem when I registerd the plugins in Sandbox in one of my CRM instances, which you should be doing, as its good practice. BUT try registering your plugins in non-Sandbox mode and than try creating a record, it might solve your issue.
It makes sense that any exception would be on the Service.Create(... part since this is the point at which the code tries to access CRM (and therefore the underlying SQL table).
Is it possible that you have other plug-ins registered which may be triggered during this process? Are you running on-premise or on-line?

I have a problem when I try to use the function similarity proposed in the academic knowledge API.
I tested the following commad to compute the similarity between two string:
curl -v -X GET "https://api.labs.cognitive.microsoft.com/academic/v1.0/similarity?s1={string}&s2={string}" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: {subscription key}"
The error that I get is :
{"error":{"code":"Unspecified","message":"Access denied due to invalid
subscript ion key. Make sure you are subscribed to an API you are
trying to call and provi de the right key."}}
Curl_http_done: called premature == 0
Connection #0 to host (nil) left intact
Can you tell how can I generate the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key?
At the moment I used the key generated automatically when I visit the following url : https://labs.cognitive.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions?productId=/products/5636d970e597ed0690ac1b3f&source=labs
Thank you for your help
Unfortunately, primarily not an answer to your question, but rather a warning for all with the "same" problem, who could came across the original question like me, as the question helped me to solve a very, very similar problem: check whether you are using api.labs.cognitive.microsoft.com instead of westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com. But may be you need the opposite.
It seems the whole project has been moved inside Microsoft (see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/academic/articles/sign-academic-knowledge-api/, I would bet that this blogpost was at the top of some "entrypoint" blog even yesterday morning, but now I am not able to find this blog, perhaps the things are changing right now) and may be the project is somewhere in the middle of the transition process and not all documentation etc. corresponds with the new state. E.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/academic-knowledge/home, in the submenu Reference, links to two "versions" of API which seem to be almost same except for the URLs westus.api... and api.labs..., respectively. But there seem to be no info what is the difference, which one should be preferred etc.
My original keys expired yesterday, thus I generated new ones and was not able to use them until I have changed the URL to api.labs..., thanks to your question. May be you have the opposite problem, that you still have the "old" keys, so you need to use the "old" url westus.api..., but I am not able to test it, as my original keys which worked with westus.api... are expired.
Both your query and your link where to get keys are OK and work for me. Just one additional detail: did you try the circle arrow next to the key value, which generates a new key? May be your key is somehow broken or expired and this could solve your problem. You can also try to create a completely new account at MS site.
PS: I have added microsoft-cognitive tag as MS refers to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/microsoft-cognitive from many pages related to Cognitive Services
I think you need to sign up for a free account, there is a link you can follow from here:
https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/56332331778daf02acc0a50b/operations/58076bdadcf4c40708f83791
Except for the invalid key, you curl-call looks right.
You need a valid subscription key to be able to make API calls.
Production key
Have a look at this page on how to created the needed services in the Azure portal and how to find the endpoint, as well as they key from there.
Trial key
However, if you just want to try out the service, you can create a temporary key here. This key is very limited in use but it should get you up and running.
Limitations are:
50,000 transactions per month, up to 20 per second.
Trial keys expire after a 90 day period.
Yesterday, the person in charge of adding content to our OrchardCMS website suddenly got this error when trying to access the Content section in the Dashboard and we can't add any new content any more.
I've imported a bacpac of the database in production and started locally debugging. When trying to access the Content an exception is thrown right here:
And, if we look in the database, the Orchard_Framework_ContentItemVersionRecord table contains a duplicated item with the same version Number, both are "latest version" and they both have the same ContentItemRecord_id.
My concern now is how should we fix this without causing any side effect somewhere else, since I don't fully understand how Orchard manages relations between items, parts, and versions.
Solution proposal:
It seems natural and obvious to manually update the "is latest version" of one of the items to false and increment the version number of the latest one.
Is this solution right or will I cause a side problem?
Have you experienced this before?
Do you know if this is caused by a wrong way of defining the model or something I can do to prevent this from happening again?
Quick answer: it is probably due to double clicking the publish button... Small tip and hack: hide publish button on click...
I remember that happened to me once before, it was ugly situation and a lot of debugging had to be done to find the cause.
The only fix I could find back then was to alter/edit/fix the db data manually.
I must ask
did that error happen once or does it happen all the time?
I have created/recorded a script in Vugen, however the the URL of the site has been changed recently. Is there any way just by replacing the url with a parameter works?
I have tried by replacing url with parameters, the new URL is
http://xsx.xxx.xsx.xxx/test99
Yhe parameters I have tried are below:
NewUrl: http://xsx.xxx.xsx.xxx/
Newhos: test99
I have replaced all in the script and when I run it I get the following error:
Error -27651: Attempted read from an unconnected socket (empty response, no HTTP headers received). URL="http://xsx.xxx.xsx.xxx/scripts/uiServer.dll"
What is the solution for this? Should i record again with the new URL ?
Thanks.
Hope I've understood what you're asking for, so here goes. If it's only the URL that has changed and not the content of the site which you might require later on in your script that this is fairly simple to do.
As you have created the new parameters ensure that they are getting the data from the same DAT file. I.e. newurl.dat which contains the following:
newurl,newhost
http://xsx.xxx.xsx.xxx/,test99
and assign the parameters to the correct column and have the newhost set to sameline as newurl. This way it’s easier to maintain I believe.
Now that the parameters have been created and properly assigned in your script you’ll need to change the url your trying to change from:
http://xsx.xxx.xsx.xxx/oldtest to {newurl}{newhost}
this needs to be done for all instances where the change has occurred.
Hope this helps with your problem you’re having.
Are you certain that the build level has not also changed at the same time as the host? If so then your new instance may be out of synch with the request model of the scripts built using an earlier build. Developers have a habit of including items below the scenes that do affect the site visually but change the structure of the requests. The error you are receiving is common when you attempt to continue a conversation on a dead connection resulting from a missed dynamic session component which may have been added in the last build.
When in doubt quickly record the second site and take a look at the differences in the requests, even to the point of using WinDiff (included in LoadRunner) for this purpose.
In a production application that I have developed sometimes I get an error saying .getDocument() is null. I have added checks in my code that traps an error if this happens. And the strange thing is that the XSPDocument seams to be OK.
Any other ideas how to debug the cause of this?
========================================================
Edit
The lower parts of the application is a simple database, create an assignment it gets status new
change the status to ongoing thru a button. Add information in text, date and numberfields, no Richtext, no attachments.
The user can switch to another xpage to send this document is an pdf attachment in an email.
The user can save the document as a draft
When they are done the click on an approve button and this button will set the status to approved. Save the document and send it as an pdf to an email adress
The problem ocurrs both on the Save button and on the approve button.
.getDocument from the xsp document is null the xspdocument.getNoteID return an ID
I can do replaceitemvalue on the xsp document.
It never happens on new documents only existing what I have seen
It feels like the comment from David that the backend doc is dropped/recycled
we experienced the same getDocument() problem recently. Finally we found a root cause: two different XPages were loaded simultaneously via iFrames. One of those XPages produced run-time error randomly, in 25% of cases. A sort of conflict in JSF model in context of single session.
solution: viewState="nostate"
not sure if it helps in your case, but this option resolved a lot of problems in our applications. It was introduced in 8.5.3. And it should be especially useful for so called XAgents.
Hard to give a hint without knowing more about everything else, but I remember having seen this as well. Just a few ideas:
Is XSPDocument.getNoteID() pointing to a valid Document if this happens?
Is it maybe pointing to a different doc than what you expected?
Could there be some kind of dynamic change of datasources going on?
Maybe some kind of timeout so that the server all of a sudden forgot who you are (in rare cases this happens to me)?
Lothar/edcom
It would be helpful to have a few more details. I assume that the document has previously been saved and it's not a new note?
You're not trying to put the actual document object inside a scoped variable are you? That would be bad as that would be pretty toxic. Without knowing more I would think this could be the case. The backend document has been garbage collected.
I'm having an issue on changing data type of a field in Dynamics CRM 2011 On Premise deployment.
In my managed solution, name it "Solution 1", I have a custom field in contact entity: "new_usernumber" of type number (int). I want to change it to string as per new client's requirement (for new users they want to add prefix to it).
I can uninstall the solution and deploy the new "fixed" managed solution, but this requires me to delete the value on my custom fields. Is there any better solution for this?
TIA
There is no easy way to do this. If you don't already have data deployed in the instance using the managed solution I recommend deleting it and importing a corrected managed solution file.
There is no supported or unsupported process of changing the data type(or logical name) of a field without data loss. What you will need to do is add the new field and then write a quick update utility to copy the data from the old field to the new field.
Here is a great article on exactly how to pull off deleting a field in a managed solution. Note, if you are trying to preserve data you'll need to run the update after the step "Import devkeydetDeleteExample_1_1_HOLDING.zip"
Have fun...this is a pain, but certainly doable!
A few months ago I recreated fields in a solution (from double to int). That was a huge mistake. I'm still not sure where things went wrong but they did go wrong. Not only did I lose the date. I managed to introduce errors in the meta-layer so our MVP had to sit dear help me get it running again. He wasn't happy. I wasn't happy. The customer wasn't happy (ex-customer today, mostly because of that).
So, my humble advice - don't do that. Declare a new field instead. If you have usernumber, keep it but start using userNumberString (or userString, userName etc.). My guess is you'll keep your hair longer that way.
And if you manage to succeed, please do tell. :)
