Plugin Images do not contain the name property for Lookups

When we register a plugin on the Pre-Create step, the Image does not contain the names for lookup controls.

The lookup properties in the image has a null value for the Name.

As a workarround, we always need to do a retrieve request to get the name of the lookup entity.

It would be usefull to always have the name for each lookup when working with plugin images.

Vote here to get it fixed:

Could not find GUID for server when opening CRM

The following error occured with one of our clients when they opened CRM.

Error while finding AD GUID for ServerName HB1781$

Crm Exception: Message: Could not find GUID for server: HB1781$, ErrorCode: -2147214038, InnerException: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800703FA): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {080D0D78-F421-11D0-A36E-00C04FB950DC} failed due to the following error: 800703fa.

After doing some googling I found this post telling me to change some settings in IIS.

Set “Load User Profile” to True for the IIS Application Pool “Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Pool”

To my surprise it seemed to solve the problem. I changed it for the CrmAppPool and all users could now login without any problems.
I still don’t know how this problem could occur, but changing this settings seems to do the trick.

 

Navision Application Server does not start: The Breakpoints already exists.

Sometimes a NAS tends to hang when there are breakpoints present in the database.

The following message will be displayed in the event viewer:

The Breakpoints already exists. 

Identification fields and values:
Object ID=’50001′,Object Type=’Form’,Trigger Line=’4′,Code No=’7′

To avoid this message you can simply delete all the breakpoints in NAV before running the NAS.

You can do this in either the object that is run by the specific NAS or in the NASHandler trigger of codeunit 1.

Simply add a line like “recBreakpoint.DELETEALL” where recBreakpoint points to a Record variable of the virtual Breakpoint table.
