Accelerator Troubleshoot archive

Outlook

If the Accelerator is not appearing it could be down to the URL or user settings (username/password) not being correct. Update these via the IE toolbar.

You may need to re-enable the toolbar also. To do this click "File"->"Options". From the dialog select "Add-Ins" and click "Go".

In the "COM Add In" dialog select the SageCRMOutlook option and ensure it is checked.

Click "Ok" and re-start Outlook

Saving a file via Accelerator throws an error

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.ArgumentException: Path cannot be the empty string or all whitespace.

  at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path, DirectorySecurity directorySecurity)
  at SageCRMWSBase.SageCRMWSBaseService.folderCheck(String path)
  at SageCRMWS.SageCRMWSAccelerator.insertDocument(String EntityName, String EntityID, CRMDocumentClass dc)

This can be caused by using a UNC path in the system

E.G \\CRMServer\Documents\Library\

It must be a path mapped to a drive E.G D:\\Documents\Library\

To change the CRM library path in CRM log in as an administrator and go to

 Administration
 Email and documents
 Documents & reports configuration 

and edit the

 Physical root directory for mail merged documents

Sage CRM 7.1a issue fix

Some reports came in of issues with Sage CRM 7.1a not allowing more than 15 characters in the new email.

The fix for this is to run the following SQL on the CRM database

   update custom_edits
   set colp_datasize='255',
   colp_lookupwidth='255'
   where colp_colname='pers_emailaddress'

---

Error 417

This can occur when the wrong url for CRM is in the client connection settings.

To fix check the CRM url is correct (settings).

When .NET Framework 4.0 is installed it is not "Enabled" by default in IIS 7, you have to "allow" it in IIS 7 manager, click on your server name, not the website that is not displaying the page, in my case the ISAPI and CGI Restriction icon only appears there. Open up ISAP and CGI restrictions and enable both entries for .NET Framework 4.0.

404 errors

This can happen is ASP.Net is not installed in IIS

Make sure that ASP.Net is installed and then in IIS...

IIS Manager -> Servername -> "Web Service Extensions", and set ASP.NET v2.0xxxxxx to Allowed

In later versions if IIS what can happen is that .NET is not re-initialized after installing IIS

aspnet_regiis -i -enable

Sometimes in Outlook the "delete" key does not work (when editing fields)

The workaround for this is the hold down "shift" and click "delete".

• This was resolved in version 4.2.2

Add on conflict

Some other 3rd party add ons can cause issues with the Accelerator -the only solution for this is to disable the other 3rd party add on

Upgrading CRM can sometimes knock out the IIS application for Accelerator

Your "SageCRMWS" folder should look like this

If not right click on the folder and select "Convert to Application" (IIS 7)

For IIS 6 you need to select the properties and click the "Create" button

500 error: Handler "PageHandlerFactory-Integrated" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list.

This is because ASP.Net was not completely installed with IIS even though I checked that box in the "Add Feature" dialog. To fix this simply run the following command at the command prompt

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

If I had been on a 32 bit system, it would have looked like the following:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Error: Your working folder does not have the correct permissions set

If you see this it either means that (as it says) the user permissions are not set.

However another reason could be that is a previous merge fails then the word (.doc,.docx) file and/or the mail merge .dat file are locked.

To clear this you must clear out the files from your working folder

As per the example image above it would be

C:\Users\Frank\Downloads

• Causes of this can include windows updates and virus scanning software

Error installing Outlook application

"Unable to install this application because an application with the same identity is already installed. To install this application, either modify the manifest version for this application or uninstall the preexisting application."

You have to find the ClickOnce deployment folder (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0) and manually delete all folder contents. This can also be done by invoking the

Length cannot be zero

Issue is that the path to CRM is not set or is incorrect. To resolve open the settings (you may need to do this via the IE toolbar) and update then restart Outlook.

The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure

This is due to an invalid SSL cert on the server - If you are using SSL a valid cert is required for the system to work (also documented in requirements) Typically your browser will display a problem

 In IIS check the application pool that your custom site (SageCRMWS) is running in and make sure it is the same application pool as CRM.

404 on Case summary screen (for some users)

• fix scheduled for 4.5

Ignored emails not working internally

This is only seen with Exchange and Office 365 internal accounts and is a result of the system not being able to resolve the email address from the exchange id

Example email format for exchange is

  /O=EXCHANGELABS/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYSDFDIBOSDF3SPDLT)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=2B5D7FSDFSDF0F9445519F4D2BAB00-username

There is a workaround in the system to map this exchange id to an email address. Add a key/value into the web.config

EG

<add key="/O=EXCHANGELABS/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYDIBOHDFGDFDFGLT)/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=2B5D7FDFGDFGDFG8B45480F9445DFG9F4D2BAB00-MARC" value="user@yourdomain.com" />

Outlook add-in just wont load and I have tried everything. At this point you need to enable some VSTO variables (in the windows Environment variables list) to show any internal issues that the environment might have.

   Displaying VSTO Alert Prompts
   To display each error in a message box, set the VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS variable to 0 (zero). *You may need to create the variable first in the windows Environment variables list.
   You can suppress the messages later on by setting the variable to 1 (one).

   Logging VSTO Alerts to a Log file
   To write the errors to a log file, set the VSTO_LOGALERTS variable to 1 (one).*You may need to create the variable first in the windows Environment variables list.
   Visual Studio Tools for Office creates the log file in the folder that contains the application manifest. 
   The default name is .manifest.log. To stop logging errors, set the variable to 0 (zero).
