Saving a file via Accelerator throws an error
10 Sept 2018
 
Outlook Version 1808 (and later) on high res monitors is breaking Accelerator. Blank screens appear where the browser should be. This is down to a change Microsoft did around DPI resolution and switching between high and low res monitors.


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.
For now the resolution is to open Outlook and click
  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
File->Options
\\CRMServer\Documents\Library\


It must be a path mapped to a drive
General
E.G
 
D:\\Documents\Library\
Select the "Optimize for compatibility" option

Error 417


This can occur when the wrong url for CRM is in the client connection settings.
Users must have web-service access set to true


To fix check the CRM url is correct.

404 errors


This can happen is ASP.Net is not installed in IIS
New Appointment/Task error in Outlook (webpicker)
 
[[File:appttaskerr.png]]


Make sure that ASP.Net is installed and then in IIS...
If you add a new custom entity to CRM and add the "Communication" field that was created to the screen "AcceleratorWebPicker" you will see this error.


IIS Manager -> Servername -> "Web Service Extensions", and set ASP.NET v2.0xxxxxx to Allowed
To resolve remove the field from this screen.

Sometimes in Outlook the "delete" key does not work (when editing fields)
Reconnect to CRM - Prompt when outlook is opened. (Sage CRM Offline Access failed)
 
[[File:reconnecttologon.png]]
 
This can happen when the logon fails when Outlook is started.
 
A checklist for this is as follows:
 
1. User is allowed log on to CRM via CRM's web services (Allow WebService Access:True)
  Navigate to the users details (Administration -> Users -> Users) and view the users details and check that the
  "Allow WebService Access" setting is set to true
 
[[File:allowwebservice.png]]
 
2. Accelerator license check.
  Navigate to "Administration -> Accelerator -> User Management"
  From that screen check that the user is in the list
 
Typical Errors that need this resolution say "Disconnected" in the text
 
3. In the Outlook settings check that the active path is set and that the value is correct
 
[[File:activepath.png]]
 
4. You cannot use the ampersand '&' character in a password when using Accelerator (this is due to a web-service bug in Sage CRM).


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

Add on conflict
Date/Time Formatting
 
The screens displayed in outlook are CRM screens and the date/time formatting is controlled from CRM via the user preferences.
 
[[File:datetimepref.png]]
 
Once changed the changes will only be reflected on the next user session logon. With Outlook this typically will not happen until IIS is reset (or CRM restarts) as it keeps the same session.

Large emails not filing
 
Issue is down to the size of the email and a limit in IIS
 
To adjust the limit do the following:
 
IIS7,  IIS Admin & Click your CRM site and expand it then click the ASP icon.
 
[[File:iisasp.png]]
 
Expand the Limits Properties icon, and change the value in the “Maximum Requesting Entity Body Limit” to a value larger than 200000.
 
Max value is 2147483647
 
[[File:iisaspmax.png]]
 
The Error for this can look like the following:
 
pr_insertCommunication failed: Entity:person;ID:471;UserId:;Message:Communication creation failed for person:Error occurred during the call to eWare.Init().Exception: Type mismatch<br />In IIS check the application pool that your custom site is running in and make sure it is the same application pool as CRM.;Stack Trace:  at SageCRMWSBase.SageCRMWSBaseService.pr_insertCommunication(StringDictionary CommParams, String EntityName, String EntityID,  StringDictionary CommLinkParams, String UseUserId, String CommId, Boolean UpdateCommLinks)


Some other 3rd party add ons can cause issues with the Accelerator
[[File:comm_creation_failed.png]]
-the only solution for this is to disable the other 3rd party add on

Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel
 
This issue is due to the SSL path (https) not working from the server.
 
The system acts like a proxy and so if https is used from outside then it is used internally (from the server) also.
 
Two options here are:
 
1. Configure the server to work with the https path.
 
2. Use the CRMCodedPath setting.
If your system does not allow http requests from with IIS to an outside/external address you can set the internal address within the web config

Depending on the users permissions the install folder will be either

Microsoft update "KB4516061" may be causing IIS to crash (resolution is to uninstall this update)

10 Sept 2018

Outlook Version 1808 (and later) on high res monitors is breaking Accelerator. Blank screens appear where the browser should be. This is down to a change Microsoft did around DPI resolution and switching between high and low res monitors.

For now the resolution is to open Outlook and click

File->Options

General

Select the "Optimize for compatibility" option

Re-start outlook

This issue is caused by a change for "Office support for high definition displays"


28 May 2018 - updated this help to archive old issues and rare environment problems

These can now be found in

https://accelerator.crmtogether.com/index.php?title=Accelerator_Troubleshoot_archive

Cannot see Accelerator in Outlook

The add in may be disabled or in-active.

To check this Open outlook and view the File->Options->Add-ins

Within this area check if the add-in is disabled and re-enable if so

To view add-in options click File

select Options

Click Add-ins

Click the Go... button

and check the box and click OK

The restart outlook

If the add-on is disabled select the disabled option from the drop down and re-enable


If you see an error when clicking on the history button you may need to change the setting sqldatetimeformat

By default it is set to 

 <add key="sqldatetimeformat" value="yyyy-dd-MM"/>

You may need to change to 

 <add key="sqldatetimeformat" value="yyyy-MM-dd"/>


Cannot see emails filed within CRM

Ths issue is that the default filter on the communications screen is set to "Pending" and the emails are filed as "Complete". Change your filter to view the emails.


You cannot use the ampersand '&' character or '%' character in a password when using Accelerator. This is due to a bug in the Sage CRM web-service API

Ref: https://community.sagecrm.com/user_community/f/84/p/9460/30971.aspx#30971


Users must have web-service access set to true


New Appointment/Task error in Outlook (webpicker)

If you add a new custom entity to CRM and add the "Communication" field that was created to the screen "AcceleratorWebPicker" you will see this error.

To resolve remove the field from this screen.


Reconnect to CRM - Prompt when outlook is opened. (Sage CRM Offline Access failed)

This can happen when the logon fails when Outlook is started.

A checklist for this is as follows:

1. User is allowed log on to CRM via CRM's web services (Allow WebService Access:True) 

  Navigate to the users details (Administration -> Users -> Users) and view the users details and check that the
  "Allow WebService Access" setting is set to true

2. Accelerator license check. 

  Navigate to "Administration -> Accelerator -> User Management"
  From that screen check that the user is in the list

Typical Errors that need this resolution say "Disconnected" in the text

3. In the Outlook settings check that the active path is set and that the value is correct

4. You cannot use the ampersand '&' character in a password when using Accelerator (this is due to a web-service bug in Sage CRM).


Date/Time Formatting

The screens displayed in outlook are CRM screens and the date/time formatting is controlled from CRM via the user preferences.

Once changed the changes will only be reflected on the next user session logon. With Outlook this typically will not happen until IIS is reset (or CRM restarts) as it keeps the same session.

Large emails not filing

Issue is down to the size of the email and a limit in IIS

To adjust the limit do the following:

IIS7, IIS Admin & Click your CRM site and expand it then click the ASP icon.

Expand the Limits Properties icon, and change the value in the “Maximum Requesting Entity Body Limit” to a value larger than 200000.

Max value is 2147483647

The Error for this can look like the following:

pr_insertCommunication failed: Entity:person;ID:471;UserId:;Message:Communication creation failed for person:Error occurred during the call to eWare.Init().Exception: Type mismatch
In IIS check the application pool that your custom site is running in and make sure it is the same application pool as CRM.;Stack Trace: at SageCRMWSBase.SageCRMWSBaseService.pr_insertCommunication(StringDictionary CommParams, String EntityName, String EntityID, StringDictionary CommLinkParams, String UseUserId, String CommId, Boolean UpdateCommLinks)

And

<add key="GatewayCRMPath" value="http://crm.yourserver.com/CRM/"/>

System Logging - This is used ONLY to detect environment specific issues

Open windows and enter %temp% in the path

This should open the folder "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp" for example (or even "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\1")

Create a file called "ctlog.txt"

Re-start Outlook.

When you use Accelerator the system will create a file for each day with logging information *this should not be used long term

The log files will be created with the name format 

 CRMTogetherLogFile_mmddyyyy.txt

EG 

 CRMTogetherLogFile_06162015.txt

Reproduce any issue and send the file to support (zip up if needed as the file may be large)

Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel

This issue is due to the SSL path (https) not working from the server.

The system acts like a proxy and so if https is used from outside then it is used internally (from the server) also.

Two options here are:

1. Configure the server to work with the https path.

2. Use the CRMCodedPath setting. If your system does not allow http requests from with IIS to an outside/external address you can set the internal address within the web config <add key="CRMCodedPath" value="" /> sample value

http://localhost/crm 

  *requires CRM setting IPAddressChecking to be disabled – this is in the registry

Error on Summary screens - 

 "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"

Fix: you need to set the "GatewayCRMPath" in the web.config file

EG 

  <add key="GatewayCRMPath" value="http://www.server.com/CRM/" />


Some users getting errors when filing emails with attachments

This can be caused by the user in CRM not having a first and last name set and also by the first name having a space before the name.

Fix this in CRM itself to resolve this issue (outlook restart required)


4.7.1.0 issue If when using Accelerator a request is made with an invalid session the error response is cached.

In the custompages/sagecrmws/web.config

This will be fixed in 4.7.1.1

Below is the location in the registry of the user settings (in case you need to manually review/remove these)

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\CRM Together\SageCRM


The add-on doesn’t auto-load. We need to go into Outlook>Option>Add-Ins and manually turn it on.

We recommend that you re-install the client add-in. If that didn’t work look at the registry settings on that machine

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\CRM Together Outlook Add On] The ‘Load Behaviour’ value should be 3


16 July 2020

Issue:Company matches on addresses like "gmail.com" cause outlook to hang.

This is caused by a change in how the system searches on companies. The number of records is not limited and therefore slows the system down. A workaround is to the setting to be added to the “custompages/sagecrmws/web.config” file 

             <add key="findCompanyByEmailFilter" value="select top 20 comp_companyid as ELink_RecordID from vSummaryCompany where comp_emailaddress like '%#searchsql#'" />


Add this to the bottom just above the </appSettings> tag


Uninstall the client

Normally to uninstall the client you would go to "add or remove programs" but if this is not allowed you can find the uninstall program in the installation folder. Depending on the users permissions the install folder will be either

1. C:\Program Files\CRM Together\OutlookAddIn

or

2. C:\Users\marc\AppData\Roaming\CRM Together\OutlookAddIn

and the uninstall program called "unins000.exe"

Run the "unins000.exe" to remove the client
