Accelerator Troubleshoot

IE

In IE if the toolbar is not enabled it will not appear. To enable the toolbar right click on the menu area and you should see the "Sage CRM Accelerator" option.

Select this and follow any on screen instructions to enable the toolbar.

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\

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'

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

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

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

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
