Sep 26: A newer version of this post is available here: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/using-powershell-to-exportimport-solutions-data-and-word-templates/ I have never been a big supporter of the configuration migration tool simply because it seems strange that we need to export data manually while preparing a package for the package deployer. I am also on the fence when it comes to the… Read More »
I was working on a PowerShell script, and I just could not get past the error below: “Element ‘http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic:value’ contains data from a type that maps to the name ‘System.Management.Automation:PSObject’. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this name” Yet I was not trying to do anything extraordinary (other than… Read More »
And why would I even start writing about this.. Well, not because I’m hoping to offer a decisive argument, and certainly not because I am hoping to bring Jonas Rapp to the “unmanaged” camp or Gus Gozalez to the “managed”. Those would be all futile attempts. I just think that managed solutions are overly… Read More »
Not sure if you are aware, but the latest version of SolutionPackager can now extract and re-package CanvasApps (and Flows). Depending on the version of SolutionPackager you’ve been using so far, it might or might not be failing once a canvas app is included into the solution.

They may not have affected you yet, but they will, especially if your subscription renewal date is coming soon. As almost expected in such cases, Jukka Niiranen came up with a great overview of what’s happening to the PowerPlatform (not… Read More »
Ever since I’ve found myself working in the online environment, and having done all my previous work on-premise, it seems I got almost addicted to various kinds of diagrams. This seem to be the only way I can even start to understand what’s happening in the PowerPlatform world. Not sure if it’s for better or… Read More »
I had a really good experience with Microsoft support today. What made it kind of special is that we almost had a bet with a colleague who had not such a pleasant experience a couple of months back. Anyhow, in my case we got the issue resolved in less than one hour. In his… Read More »
I’ve been working on a presentation of Embedded Canvas Apps and some things were not adding up. Mostly, I just could not pinpoint what exactly is the difference between Canvas Apps and Model-Driven apps? Yes, I know how to build a Canvas App. Yes, I know how to build a Model-Driven App. What sets… Read More »
With the recent update, HTTP Connector Support has been implemented so we can add HTTP Connector to the DLP policies now. This is different from HTTP with Azure AD, btw, and this may affect you if you are using HTTP Actions in the flows. For all the finer details, have a look at the post… Read More »
This is my personal opinion, of course, but I think it’s still difficult for Microsoft to look “cool” because, frankly, Microsoft has been and still is about doing everything. They have cloud services, artificial intelligence, operating systems, developer tools, CRM, document management, they tried phones, they.. what is it they did not try? So let’s… Read More »
