Interface between systems - call to WS\ WCF service from CRM FAILED because Https request (validation errors)

Interface between systems - call to WS\ WCF service from CRM FAILED because Https request (validation errors)

The solution is to add the next code in plugin

  bool CertificateValidationCallBack(

    object sender,

    System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate,

    System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain,

    System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)

        {

            // If the certificate is a valid, signed certificate, return true.

            if (sslPolicyErrors == System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors.None)

            {

                return true;

            }

            // If there are errors in the certificate chain, look at each error to determine the cause.

            if ((sslPolicyErrors & System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors.RemoteCertificateChainErrors) != 0)

            {

                if (chain != null && chain.ChainStatus != null)

                {

                    foreach (System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ChainStatus status in chain.ChainStatus)

                    {

                        if (//(certificate.Subject == certificate.Issuer) &&

                           (status.Status == System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ChainStatusFlags.UntrustedRoot))

                        {

                            continue;

                        }

                        else

                        {

                            if (status.Status != System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ChainStatusFlags.NoError)

                            {

Interface between systems - call to WS\ WCF service from CRM

Interface between systems - call to WS\ WCF service from CRM

The easy way to call WCF service using Plugin..

Invoke plugin from JS for instance by createing temp entity record

Write the next code in plugin:

public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider){

 IOrganizationService _srv = null;

 try

 {

  IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

 IOrganizationServiceFactory factory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));

 _srv = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.InitiatingUserId);

  if (context.MessageName.ToLower() == "create"){

    HttpWebRequest httpWReq= HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://service/lalala.asmx");

    ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();

    string postData = "request";

    byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(postData);

    httpWReq.Method = "POST";

    httpWReq.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";

    httpWReq.Host = "iservices.service.example";

    httpWReq.ContentLength = data.Length;

    using (Stream stream = httpWReq.GetRequestStream()){

      Write(data, 0, data.Length);

      HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpWReq.GetResponse();

      string responseString = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();

                    }

                }

       }

 catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex){}

 Catch (Exception ez){}

        }

Performance – system settings

Performance – system settings.

1.       By default most application defined in debug mode.

Change from

<compilation debug=”true”/>

To

2.        Update management Thread settings

3.       

parameter	default	recommended
maxIoThreads	20	100
maxWorkerThreads	20	100
minFreeThreads	8	88 * # CPUs
minLocalRequestFreeThreads	4	76 * # CPUs

Define parameters in machine config:

<processModel

3.       Reducing weight 401 pages

In CRM we have around 1000 request per minute to these pages. 

Good option is to clean the pages under folder: C:\Windows\Help\iisHelp\common

Converting HTML to description field in Email Activity show html tags..

To remove all HTML tags when insert the html to description fields replace the content with the next command:


Xrm.Page.getAttribute("description").setValue(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("description").getValue().replace(/<[^>]*>?/g, ""));

Implement nolock in Fetch

By default SQL server defined to lock records when execute query and rows selected until finish to execute.. problem when we have many records.

to prevent lock records in CRM, DBA allow to define all database to work with no-lock and we have another option to request fetch with no lock.

To  solve this issue please open SQL Management and run the command 

DECLARE @SolID NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SolID = 'e25cd1e4-54ff-4bdc-890b-31b1d8c3c720'
SELECT
      t.name AS table_name,

      c.name AS column_name,
      'SELECT * FROM ' + t.name + ' WHERE ' + c.name + ' = ''' + @SolID + '''' as Query
FROM sys.tables AS t
      INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE '%SolutionId%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

after find the record remove the record from database and try to import the solution again.

Remove new record in lookup

var lookup = FLHTM.GetElement('new_lookupid');
lookup.AddParam("ShowNewButton", "1");

Set lookup Values

//get values base fetch or ODATA

http://mscrm201x.blogspot.co.il/2015/05/full-example-get-contact-details-base_20.html

var lookupData = new Array();
var lookupItem = new Object();

lookupItem.name = result[0].name.Value; //SET NAME
lookupItem.typename = "account"; //ENTITY NAME
lookupData[0] = lookupItem;
Xrm.Page.getAttribute('customerid').setValue(lookupData);

// select the field and define the event on change
