Congratulations Tanguy on your MVP award. Since I could not find your email, I would ask you to contacting me via email celmin@ping. I have a problem with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. To be more exact, I have a problem with creating an scheduled import from the file in CRM. I understand that it is necessary custom solution for this, but could you give me a couple of guidelines. Thanks a lot.

Today, a new tool that allows you to run bulk deletion of records. Indeed, this feature of CRM is not accessible through the user interface but only with SDK. To use this tool, you must first create a view in the advanced search that will find the items you want to delete. Then just run the tool, to indicate on which entity (using the logical name of the entity) is the view advanced search and set scheduling options and recurrence (if desired). You can also request to receive an email from the CRM server when processing is complete. This option is available if the user account you use has an email address saved in the user profile CRM.

PHP to CRM Online : An easy way to do

Image
Last week, for two of my customers, I was asked to find the way to communicate with CRM Online using PHP. I don’t know anything about PHP so it was quite a challenge to do it. Nevertheless, Microsoft provide some help with the CRM Developer training kit ( download it here ). It contains a sample to connect to CRM Online with PHP (The lab is named “CRM Online from PHP”) but this sample is out of date since Microsoft changed the authentication model in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Here is the changes to perform in order to make this sample working. Use of SSL v3 First thing is to enable use of SSL v3 in the PHP sample. To do this, open the file “LiveIDManager.php” and find the method GetSOAPResponse. This method uses Curl (Client URL Request Library) to perform url calls. Add the following lines before the call of method “curl_exec”: curl_setopt($cURLHandle, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION , 3); The final code for the curl use should be like below $cURLHandle = curl_init(); curl_setopt($cURLH...
