Update Rollup 1 for CRM 2013 fails (DBUpdateAction)

The following scenario with one of my customers:
CRM 4.0 version was upgraded to CRM 2011 via in-place upgrade then we upgraded it to CRM 2013 also via in-place upgrade.

This error occured once I tried to install the CRM 2013 Update Rollup 1:

16:00:00|   Info| Found the older table DBUpdateInstallInfo_V5, updating new table and deleting
16:00:00|   Info| Updating table with older rows: DBUpdateInstallInfo
16:00:00|   Info| InstallerException: Invalid column name 'MajorVersion'.
Invalid column name 'MinorVersion'.

Invalid column name 'DBUpdateActionId'.
Invalid column name 'CrmDatabase'.
16:00:00|  Error| System.Exception: Action Microsoft.Crm.Setup.Common.Update.DBRemoveAction failed. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid column name 'MajorVersion'.

15:48:42|   Info| Inserting into DBUpdateInstallInfo: Version = 6.0.1.61, DBUpdateActionId = 1475935d-b5b2-4c8f-aba3-e6ac19c99f12, CrmDatabase = ConfigOnPremise
15:48:42|   Info| InstallerException: Invalid column name 'MajorVersion'.

OK, this made me think some old (tables) must disturb the process:

I found this script in the WWW from :
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) + '.' + t.name AS 'Table Name'
FROM sys.tables t
     INNER JOIN sys.columns c
        ON c.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE c.name like '%ColumnName%'
ORDER BY 'Table Name'
 
OK, this enabled me to find some of the fields mentioned in the log, secondly the CRM Install Log above also mentions the table DBUpdateInstallInfo and DBUpdateInstallInfo_V5.
 
So after the first try of installing UR1 failed I did the following steps:

1. Created backup of my MSCRM_CONFIG database
2. Renamed dbo.dbupdateinstallinfo to dbo.dbupdateinstallinfo-old
3. Renamed dbo.dbupdateinstallinfo_V5 to dbo.dbupdateinstallinfo_V5-old
 
OK, this time the Update Rollup 1 went through as smooth as it should be.
 
Finally I got curious what the CRM 2013 UR1 routine did to my MSCRM_CONFIG database.
Actually it recreated the database dbo.DBUpdateInstallInfo with the following fields:
  • MajorVersion
  • MinorVersion
  • BuildNumber
  • Revision
  • DBUpdateActionId
  • CrmDatabase
This made me understand the original error messages with "Invalid column ....".
The installation routine was missing these columns in the original existing tables.
 
Anyway everything is fixed and CRM 2013 is up and running with UR1. AWESOME!

    Thanks for this. As of UR2 it still isn't fixed.

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Power Automate: Avoid Apply to Each for List rows action (DataVerse)

If you do not want to use the Apply to Each loop after a Dataverse List rows action you can use the following in a Dynamic Content / Expression box to directly use a field's value in e.g. Compose action: first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['apx_fullpath'] instead of apx_fullpath you can use whatever field name you need for the entity that's been queried before.
