    - Inviting other users to an appointment When we create a new appointment in CRM, and invite other users also in crm, they don't get meeting invitiations. If we open the appointment in Outlook, we see the organizers name "First Last" and then the other users in the form "domainname\user1", and no free busy information is available. Their "Domain Logon Name", is set to "domainname\username", should it have been just "username"? Thanks, Len Ott Tag: strange error Tag: 20883

    - Removing Picklist Values I understand that removal (deletion) of picklist values in CRM has a number of "gotchas" that you need to be cognizant of as you plan to perform this task. I have not found any documentation that purports to contain any of the aforementioned problems and I am a bit concerned that I am going to miss something. I really need to get rid of some values that are not as "valuable" as they were communicated during implementation planning. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to look out for or perhaps point me to some documentation that would do the same? Thanks in advance. Tag: strange error Tag: 20882

    - A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained .... Hi, We installed a web app with some Crystal Reports 9 for VS.Net reports on our crm server.(we had to use .Net crystal for this release as we havent planned Crystal Enterprise 10 which supports mixed reports for this release of our app.) I copied crdb_ado.dll, msvcp60.dll and other required things on CRM server. Now, when I try to open any .Net crystal reports, it gives me this warning and reports doesn't run.(My existing crm crystal reports work fine) "A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated. More licenses can be purchased direct from Crystal Decisions or through the Crystal Decisions Online Store." I read that we need to set the licence key in license.msm merge module in web setup for deploying VS.NET app crystal reports. But I am not sure if this will work...since license key may conflict with the existing crystal enterprise of crm. So I wanted to know if there is any workaround to resolve this license issue of .NEt crystal reports without affecting my existing crystal enterprise on crm. Thanks in advance, Nans Tag: strange error Tag: 20809

    - w3wp.exe Process memory keeps growing with custom integration We are having an issue with a custom integration we have built for MSCRM. We are working on a scheduled DTS package which is required to migrate data from a legacy system into MSCRM. The data migration process runs on a nightly basis and required to update close to 40,000 records in MSCRM. We have built a DTS package(On the SQL SERVER) that gets the data from the legacy Oracle server and computes the records that need to be updated and then calls into a serviced component running in com+(On the SQL Server) passing in the records that need to be updated in the form of xml string. The serviced component is called with 1000 records at a time and the entire 40,000 records are not passed in one single shot because of memory exceptions. The serviced component calls into a web service (on the CRM machine) and passes batches of 20 records at a time. The xml is parsed using an xml reader and we update account information in MSCRM by calling in the MSCRM object model, with the information in the xml. The problem: The process runs through fine when we try this with a low volume of records( 100s and a few thousands). Initially the memory held by the w3wp process increases and after the first 2000 records it becomes grows to about 150MB (Without running the integratino it stays around 80MB with people using MSCRM) and has meager increases for a while then it starts to increase faster. Once the w3wp.exe process is using 200MB of memory the MSCRM site does not respond when hit using IE but the integration continues to run. The memory held by the w3wp process increases until it reaches 800MB and finally stops with a System.OutOfMemoryException. This usually happens around the 14K to 16K records procesed. The hardware configuration that we have on the test environment is CRM 2.4 Gig 1 gb RAM SQL 2.4 Gig 1 gb RAM The DTS package and the serviced component exist in the Sql machine and the serviced component calls into a web service located in the CRM machine to migrate the data into MSCRM. Any ideas we could try to get it to not keep growing. Thanks Hoss Tag: strange error Tag: 20799

    - memo fields Hi, Can anyone offer some clarification on the 8k SQL limit and the use of memo fields? I know that memo fields take up to 16 bytes and that each memo field can contain up to 2k characters. Does a memo field filled with 2k characters still only consume 16 bytes? I have also found that the number of chars in any memo field can be limited. Is this basically to guard against how many of the available bytes are consumed? Basically I am looking to understand the relationship between the number of chars in memo fields and the sql resource consumed. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    - Help with using SDK XML to update entities Hi, I have noticed a problem, in that when I try to use an Update or Create method, for example with the CRMEmail entity, I need to send the data in XML format, as set out in the entity's schema. However, for fields like emailbody, i need to pass HTML text to retain formatting. However, I can't include HTML markup without the XML parser spitting the dummy. I've tried escaping the special characters, (CleanXML = RawXML.Replace("<", "&#60;") etc..), but the the database just stores and retrieves the escaped characters, rather than storing the original markup. Does anyone know how to pass the HTML formatted data through the SDK.. I would really really appreciate any help at this stage, as I'm convinced it is yet another bug in CRM.
