Team Foundation Server 2017 HTTP code 413: Request Entity Too Large While working with a new out of the box TFS 2017, the following error was given when uploading files that were 11 MEG. Not particularly big, but hay this is Microsoft. I say this having wasted a lot of time trying to get the RTM version of TFS 2017 to work, only to find out that web site login is broken out of the box, and SP1 fixed my issues. (Back to the Balmer days!). Anyway the configuration we are using that would appear to make a difference here is that we took on the Microsoft suggestion at setup to use HTPS and SSL. So using the self signing certificates forcing the SSL connection, we find that the out of the box setup for Team Foundation Server 2017 with SP1 installed has this error on large file upload. The… Read More »Team Foundation Server 2017 HTTP code 413: Request Entity Too Large

CRM in-line search fails with SQL error After upgrading Microsoft CRM from earlier versions we found that the global search function when enabled failed to return any results, and once the index for the global search had run over a 24-hour period, the in-line search function for any entity would cause a crash and SQL error message to be displayed on page. The problem In our particular instance this CRM environment had been upgraded from much earlier versions of CRM and included an attempt to solve some upgrade issues by dropping indexes. Initially our thoughts were that the dropping of the indexes were responsible for the problems. However it appears retrospectively that was a fragmentation of indexes that cause the issue. I cannot be exactly sure why the maintenance procedure that is run on the SQL Server did not rebuild and reorganise the indexes sufficiently that the global social function.… Read More »Microsoft CRM global search fails causing in-line search SQL error

CRM 2016 Import Upgrade from CRM 2015 Failure: Timeout expired On attempting to upgrade a Microsoft CRM Dynamics 2015 Database to CRM 2016 (without service pack) you receive a Failure: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.. This happens at the System Check stage. There are a bunch of suggestions online from earlier releases of CRM like 4.0 etc suggesting that you may need to change the timeout settings on the settings with some DWord changes in the registry.
