List of Error Codes in CRM 2011

Was wondering where we can get the list of error codes in CRM 2011.

For CRM 4.0 we used to have the following link (page in SDK)

Error Activating Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 List Component for SharePoint

Hi,

After adding the crmlistcomponent.wsp solution to the SharePoint’s team site, while trying to Activate the solution we were getting some error.

The solution for which was to start the SharePoint User Code Host service. However in our case we were not able to start the service, as it would stop after few seconds. The reason was because the service account under which that service was running was not a member of Performance Monitor Users group for the machine. Adding the user to the group fixed the issue for us.

Hope it helps.

Republishing SSRS Report in CRM 2011.

Hi,

We were recently doing installation of CRM 2011 and faced issue while installing CRM 2011 Reporting Extension (SRS Data Connector).

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/crmcustomereffective/archive/2011/12/05/microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-reporting-extension-srs-data-connector-installation-service-account-warning.aspx#.UY3ITbWnwQY

After resolving the issue and completing the installation, we saw that there were no reports published. It was because of a flag being set in MSCRM_CONFIG when the installer ran first.

Check out this helpful post to resolve this issue
