DYNAMICS 365 CUMULATIVE UPDATE INSTALLATION FAILED WITH ERROR

Usually, installing a cumulative update for Dynamics 365 on premises is easy and does not require deep expertise in order to achieve it.

However, you might face errors as happened the last day with one of my colleagues.

PROBLEM

He informed me that he is not able to install the cumulative update (9.0.23.7) of D365 on premises on one organization. While, he was able to do it on another and both organizations are on the same development server.

Therefore, I got the error log and the trace is the following (kept only the interesting part):

System.Exception: Error.ActionFailed Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.InstallDatabaseUpdatesAction ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Error in Action: Microsoft.Crm.SE.DatabaseActions.dll: Execute on attempt 3.
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException : An exception was thrown by the target of a call. ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: The user Id (s) [00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000] is invalid.
at Microsoft.Crm.BusinessEntities.SecurityLibrary.GetPrivilegedUserCallerAndBusinessGuidsFromThread (WindowsIdentity identity, IOrganizationContext context, Guid systemUserId)
at Microsoft.Crm.BusinessEntities.SecurityLibrary.GetCallerAndBusinessGuidsFromThread (WindowsIdentity identity, Guid organizationId, LocatorServiceContext locatorServiceContext, Guid systemUserId)
at Microsoft.Crm.BusinessEntities.SecurityLibrary.GetCallerAndBusinessGuidsFromThread (WindowsIdentity identity, Guid organizationId)
at Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.Utility.NewOrgUtility.GetCurrentUserId (Guid organizationId)
at Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Server.Utility.NewOrgUtility.PopulateBaseOrganizationLanguagePack (Guid organizationId)
at Microsoft.Crm.SE.DllMethodActions.UpdateBaseLanguagePackVersion.Execute ()

REASON

The highlighted above error is not clear enough to troubleshoot and know how to resolve the issue.

However, I continue reading the trace, and I noticed the following function name that is being called GetPrivilegedUserCallerAndBusinessGuidsFromThread when the problem has occurred.

In this step, the installation procedure is trying to get the user privileges who is running the installation and it is failing.

I opened the organization and went to the list of enabled users and found out that the user does not exist in the organization, but, it exists on the other organization where the update is successfully applied.

SOLUTION

Once I added the missing user to the organization, my colleague was able to apply the update on the organization.


Bonus Tip: Always look inside the trace for more details because it can lead you to the action the system is trying to do and can give you many hints on the error


Hope This Helps!

DYNAMICS 365 HOW TO HIDE RECENT RECORDS FOR LOOKUP FIELD IN UCI

Image
In UCI, a lot of behaviors have been changed comparing to the Classic Web Interface such as the tabs, BPF, and many others. Today, I will be talking about one of these behaviors which is the Recent Records in lookup fields. In a brief summary, the Recent Records feature will suggest the latest records that have been searched for, where the user can select one of them, and, the list of available records of the current view will then be displayed. This is a nice-to-have feature since it might help the users to speed up data entry. However, if the lookup has been filtered to display specific records, the Recent Records will not respect this filter and will keep showing records even is they should not. This scenario can lead to selecting a record by the user that is not allowed to be selected. Therefore, in this situation, it is better to hide the Recent Records t

SEARCH BY GUID IN DYNAMICS 365

Image
Is it possible to search for a CRM record using its GUID ? Well, NO it is not possible and YES it is possible!!! As always has been, it is not possible to search for a record by its guid in Advanced Find and in the Quick view search. However, in the model-driven app Edit filters functionality, it is possible to search for a record by its Guid. How it works, let's check the 3 different places where we can search for a records. Advanced Find search Using the Advanced find feature, you cannot put a GUID value to search for. You will directly receive an error notification eventhough when you download the fetchXml, the Guid of the record will be there. Quick view search Using the search box

SAVE FORM IN DYNAMICS 365 JAVASCRIPT

Image
In Dynamics 365, you may need to save a CRM form automatically in JavaScript upon a specific action on the form. In order to do that, the function formContext.data.save(saveOptions).then(successCallback, errorCallback); can be used to save the record asynchronously with callback functions to be executed after the save operation is completed. The following example will display a successful message if the save operation is completed, and a failure message if not. formContext.data.save(1).then( function () { alert("Successfully Saved!"); }, function () { alert("Failed while saving!"); });
