Frankly, I got a bit stuck on this. As far as Dynamics solution development process is concerned, I’ve seen quite a few different scenarios. Some of them were more mature than others, but none of them were without problems. Merge problem aside, you may have multiple Dynamics organizations with one org per developer or you… Read More »
The project I’ve been working on slowed down a little bit in the last few days, so I suddenly got some spare cycles.. And what do you do with the spare cycles? You spend them on something, preferably on something useful. So.. I started to do this: It’s actually nice to take a break… Read More »
Looks like something has changed in V9 recently that did affect my Configuration Data Manager solution, too, so there is an updated version you can download now which works with V9. It also fixes a couple of issues related to big integer numbers and to the missing N:N relationships. Yet keeping in mind that… Read More »
Hierarchy security has a bit unexpected side-effect. In theory, it is supposed to give managers access to the records assigned to their subordinates – I am assuming the idea there was to bypass role security and to quickly give managers access to that data. But what if we had a record assigned to a… Read More »
A few days ago somebody raised a question in the community forums: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/p/280331/801869 “Currently, Microsoft Dynamics 365 requires the .NET Framework version 4.6.2 for plug-in assemblies. Rebuild the assembly with the .NET Framework version 4.6.2 and try again.” Well, it’s hard to know what’s happening in various environments, so I made a note for… Read More »
There are a couple of things about Resource Scheduling / Field Service I learned today which may be worth sharing, so here we go: 1. For those who want to try Field Service on-premise If you already have access to the customer source, you can download Field Service files from this link: https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/Global/365Enterprise/downloads/product-releases/365fieldservicedownloads#DownloadLink There… Read More »
Normally, I don’t like participating in any kind of Dynamics vs SalesForce vs Oracle vs .. discussion, since, in my mind, those are all great products, and the success of every particular implementation depends more on the skills and experience of the team working there than on the product itself. So the purpose of this… Read More »
I never, actually, tried the Field Service before – just never had to. You might say that’s so much for being an MVP, eh? And you would probably be right, but, to my excuse, Ottawa is still using on-prem version of Dynamics almost exclusively. It’s a bit of an on-premise enclave here – Microsoft is… Read More »
I love the idea of model-driven PowerApps. XRM is what I’ve been doing most of the time, so that kind of XRM-only plan would be just the right plan for me. But what I do need is the ability to export/import solutions – so, seeing how model-driven PowerApps are, basically, re-using Dynamics 365 admin interfaces,… Read More »
What if you had to synchronize access to Dynamics data from the external applications/components. Maybe there is a scheduled process that’s scheduled to run nightly on different servers, and that’s supposed to process that data, or maybe there is a multithreaded application that’s using multiple threads.. Whatever the case is, imagine that you need to… Read More »
