I am trying to import customizations over to my server machine that is running Dynamics CRM 4. I am able to upload the customizations file on my CRM and it shows me all the entities.
However when I try to Import these entities CRM gives me an SQL Server error.
I need to get the details of the error and therefore I need to Enable tracing on the CRM server.
How do you enable tracing on Dynamics CRM? I have found quite many pages when I googled the term but I didn't quite get what i was looking for.
There's a Diagnostic Tool for 4.0 that enables tracing within CRM for you. Enabling tracing causes CRM to emit a ton of debug/error information and is definitely the first step we take when troubleshooting non-trivial issues. Often times the error will tell you exactly what's wrong.
You can get the diag tool from the CRMTools.zip link here. You'll want the CRMDiagTool4.zip file. Extract the contents of CRMDiagTool4.zip onto your CRM server and run the CrmDiagTool4.exe. From the dropdown menu, choose "Dynamics CRM Server". Click the first button to enable tracing. Enabling tracing is a huge performance hog, so enable it right before you start your import and disable it right after the error occurs.
To help you read the output, there's a CRM Trace File Viewer that lets you filter by message type. Reading the logs without it would be extremely painful. Open the viewer on the server and point it to one of the trace files that was generated (if you installed CRM to the default directory, those will be located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM\Trace). Finally, filter the log entries down to warnings or worse by choosing Filter -> Log Level -> Warning. (A fancier version of the viewer is available as a part of the helpful and free Stunnware Tools.)
Good luck!

Google Data Studio is connected successfully to our Campaign Data - However, It doesn't seem to pull through certain metrics, such as Interactive Impressions.
I'm starting to wonder whether this could be to do with the fact that it isn't available in Instant reports, but was wondering if someone more familiar could explain why this is the case.
Have tried reconnecting to data via the integration service, but this has not resolved the issue.
N/A
The metrics should appear appear in the connection manager/Data source manager , but their simply not in the current selections I have.
I'd juts like to know why this is the case, and whether there are any workarounds known?. I cant seem to find a reasonable explanation online.
The full range of metrics is not available in the Data Studio connection
https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/7245540?hl=en
"The dimensions and metrics available through Data Studio represent a subset of the fields available through the Campaign Manager Report Builder tool or the Campaign Manager API".
The same is true for Search Console and Youtube connectors, as well as far most 3rd party tools connectors.
For some reason I can't get SQL Server 2017 installed on my Windows 10 machine.
First thing to do with this buggy installer is that I had to uninstall VCRuntime 2017 in order for the installer to work.
And now, the installer is stuck at this point exactly every time I try to install it:
What I've tried so far:
Killing msiexec process
Running the setup with additional parameter as mentioned here
Setup.exe /SkipInstallerRunCheck
Restarting ... reinstalling ... turning off anti-virus ...
[Solved]
The problem was due to a background download that was taking forever especially on a low internet speed (i.e. python or R-support component).
[Solution]
If you really need python or R-support just wait until download is complete
Else, deselect python and R-support from the component list.
(or) kill the child process for python or R-support component downloader from task manager.
UPDATE:
The actual problem turned out to be the R-support component(s) slowly downloading in the background locking up the installation GUI
with no notification or warning show to the user as to what is
actually going on.
So it seems this "locked install problem" can be caused by installing several different components, at least by Python or R-support. As mentioned below, please check any available logs or event logs for clues.
In summary, options:
Maybe try to unselect such components for install if you do not need them.
If you need the components, leave the setup to complete, and check progress in log files as explained below. Verify Internet access (proxy?).
Stuck Download?
UPDATE: Did you see this blog? Looks like the setup tries to download and install the Python runtime, and this can take forever. Are you behind a proxy btw? No direct connection to the Internet? If so I suppose this could also cause further problems. Probably not the cause, but worth a mention.
Apparently you can check the following log file for progress for the installation:
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Setup
Bootstrap\Log\DATE_TIME\RSetup.log
DATE_TIME in the above path must be converted to your valid values. For example: 20170804_162723 (date part and time part).
See this answer as well: SQL server 2016 installation freeze. You could also try the suggestion to deselect all components you do not need to prevent any background downloads?
General Debugging
Leaving in the general purpose debugging suggestions below.
Generic Advice: From experience I would create a new local admin user and try to install using that account. This is to avoid any "unclean" or special conditions that have occurred in your user profile or registry during regular Windows use. Might not do much, but sometimes it gets the job done with surprising ease. Worth a try I think.
Some Further Things: I wrote up a little check list a while back, I'll add it and see if it inspires some new ideas that can help you. See under "Core Deployment Problems". That first "check list" was condensed from a longer and somewhat excessive first writeup - one of those answers that unintentionally turned into a blog and maybe a hard one to read.
Logging: Did you check log files and / or event logs properly for clues as to what is happening? I find the best approach for deployment to enable logging for all MSI installations. The performance hit it triggers is minuscule compared to the benefit of having a real log-file always available when you suddenly need one. You can enable logging for all MSI files as explained on installsite.org (section: "Globally for all setups on a machine"). MSI log files will then just sit in your %TEMP% folder after installation. They have a random hex name, and you can flush them all regularly if you do not need them. You sort by modify date / time to find the latest one(s) created - obviously.
Jedi trick: You will want to go home and re-think your life if you don't enable logging for all MSI files. Moral of the story: MSI log files are cool. They are very verbose, but they are beautiful. There are some hints on interpreting them here (bottom).
My 2 cents: SQL Server Installer consists of several small MSI installers. MSI installers can only be installed one after each other (as fas as I know). In my case, I launched another MSI setup while installing SQL Server. This caused SQL Server Setup to hold until I finished the concurrently running setup.
So, at least in my case the problem was self-made.
You have to remove configuration settings for SQL Server from Windows Registry editor.

Shortly I ve Windows Server 2012 R2, AEM Forms(6.2), SQLServer(2014) and Workbench(6.2) in same server. At first when i install and configure all of them, i can check out or in my applications from Workbench succesfully. However After my software team executes some scripts at Database, we can not check in/out from workbench. The worst thing when i click check out, workbench gives any error. any log. on event log or server application. It gives nothing and don't do my transaction. I saw at forums some people have same issue but nobody writes solution.
Please if any one knows the solution, share with us. What's wrong with my workbench? what to do fix this issue?
The query that your software team ran turns off security on every single LiveCycle service and makes them run as the system user. This includes the services used by Workbench and is very bad. Some of the services rely on knowing who is logged in to operate correctly. In particular, how can LiveCycle know who has checked in/out a resource if the service always runs as system?
Your best bet is to restore the LiveCycle database - or at least the tb_sc_service_configuration table to be where it was before you ran the script.
If you need to remove security on individual services, you should do it through the admin console, but only do it for your processes. Never do it for systems services unless the Adobe documentation says it is OK.
As JeremyP pointed out, modifying the Adobe database directly is a bad idea. The database should be treated as a black box that is only manipulated by Adobe code (either by doing things in the Adobe tools or making calls to Adobe APIs).
You can either make security changes manually through the adminui (as he indicates, which is the most common way of doing it) or programatically using the Adobe client APIs. See the following links for sample code that uses the APIs:

My company, 4Point, offers AEM Forms consulting services. We have an in-house Apache Ant library that wraps the code above to automate this (and other) common tasks that are typically required when deploying (and redeploying) AEM Forms solutions.

Can anyone describe to me the exact steps in displaying a SQL Server Report hosted on the report server (Remote mode) in a customized webpart? I realize that there is an out of the box web part that comes with SSRS but I want to be able to have already configured webparts that display specific reports available for users to add in their edit site modes. Essentially, the goal is to have a report such as 'Assigned Hours' as a web part itself, and anyone interested in displaying Assigned Hours need only click on Site Actions, Edit Page, Add Web Parts, and choose the Assigned Hours Web Part. No need for configuring a report server url or report path. Also, for certain reasons we would like to continue running the report server in native mode so Integrated mode with SharePoint is not an option.
So, below is a summary of my situation and what I have already tried:
Environment is WSS3.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2005
I have created a .net webpart and am attempting to add an instance of the ReportViewer control to the webpart. I have set to run in remote processing mode and have extended the abstract IReportServerCredentials class to handle the authentication.
I have made sure that the assembly is set to AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers
The project compiles fine. I place the dll in the correct wss bin folder for webparts.
When I try to view the webpart I get the site error message 'That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.'
I've read things about registering my assembly with SQL Server, which I have tried with the CREATE ASSEMBLY SQL syntax, but that I am getting an sql query error saying that the there is already a reference to another assembly and that it can not find it in the same location.
Honestly, I don't really know enough about SQL Server and reporting services to know if I am close to getting it to work or if I have everything set up completely wrong in the first place. I have made custom webparts before and successfully deployed them to the site, so I know the problems lie in my ignorance of the SSRS and SQL Server. Has anyone else accomplished what I described early before? Thanks in advance!
I suggest using an ASP.NET ReportViewer control in your web part. These controls allow you to customize all parts you mentioned and are fairly easy to use and set-up. The one thing to watch for though with this control would be browser compatibility. Out of the box, it doesn't work too well with Firefox or Chrome. If you wanted though you could attached to the Reporting Services service which would give you the data you want back, then write a template-able control that used that structure to output the data. That option is much more complex, but allows for the format to be defined by the web part, rather than the report.
I am using Visual Studio Team System 2008, version 9.0.30729.1 SP. I have a database project that I was working with yesterday with no issues - I was able to build and deploy the database successfully. Today, however, when I open the solution I receive what is listed as a "Warning" that halts any Build/Deploy/etc process, but cannot be suppressed via the Project Properties page.
The Warning reads: "TSD3004: The application encountered an unexpected error. To diagnose this problem, enable tracing. You should contact product support."
I did contact Product Support, but they insist I pay for someone to help me get this fixed. There are zero records returned from an search of "TSD3004" on either MSDN or support.microsoft.com, and there are only three returned from a Google search (all irrelevant).
Can anyone please help me figure out what's happening?
Have you tried asking on Microsoft's dedicated forum?
