Power Automate: SharePoint Copy file action fails on file names with a plus (+) sign

CRM 4.0: Custom Report -> Incorrect syntax near ...

The customer had an issue with a custom CRM 4.0 report.
It seems this error occured now because the SQL Server run with 2008 instead of 2005 or the report indeed had a bug. (Thanks to SQL Profiler, I found it.)

The customer had this error coming up:
Query execution failed for dataset '....'.
Incorrect syntax near '20140913'

After analysing the report XML I figured out the problem:

DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = '
SELECT
CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.firstname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.jobtitle,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.telephone1
FROM (' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + ') AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount INNER JOIN FilteredContact AS CRMAF_FilteredContact
ON CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid = CRMAF_FilteredContact.parentcustomerid
ORDER BY CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname'
EXEC(@SQL)

The red must be replaced with:

DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = '
SELECT
CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.firstname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.jobtitle,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.telephone1
FROM (' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + ') AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount INNER JOIN (' + @CRM_FilteredContact + ') AS CRMAF_FilteredContact
ON CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid = CRMAF_FilteredContact.parentcustomerid
ORDER BY CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname'
EXEC(@SQL)

And I had to insert the appropriate and equivalent new report and query parameter for it.

SQL Profiler Output:
exec sp_executesql N'declare @binUserGuid varbinary(128)
           declare @userGuid uniqueidentifier
           select @userGuid = N''{2691f84a-3327-e111-926d-001e0bd1e5c0}''
           set @binUserGuid = cast(@userGuid as varbinary(128))
           set context_info @binUserGuid
           --DECLARE @CRM_FilteredAccount AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
--SET @CRM_FilteredAccount = ''select * from filteredaccount''
DECLARE @SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL = ''
SELECT
CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.firstname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.jobtitle,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname,
CRMAF_FilteredContact.telephone1
FROM ('' + @CRM_FilteredAccount + '') AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount INNER JOIN (select contact0.* from FilteredContact as contact0 where ( contact0.modifiedonutc >= ''20140913 22:00:00'' and contact0.modifiedonutc <= ''20141014 12:05:42'' )) as CRMAF_FilteredContact
ON CRMAF_FilteredAccount.accountid = CRMAF_FilteredContact.parentcustomerid
ORDER BY CRMAF_FilteredContact.lastname''
EXEC(@SQL)',N'@CRM_FilteredAccount nvarchar(156)',@CRM_FilteredAccount=N'select account0.* from FilteredAccount as account0 where ( account0.modifiedonutc >= ''20140913 22:00:00'' and account0.modifiedonutc <= ''20141014 12:05:42'' )'


The important difference is how the parameters will be replaced in the final query (red).

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

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu

CRM 2016: The attribute with AttributeId = 'guid' was not found in the MetadataCache.

During the export of an unmanged solution I always received the following error message from my CRM 2016 SP1 OnPremise development system: The attribute with AttributeId = '023bda49-9dfa-401e-b348-9374a4141186' was not found in the MetadataCache. Then I tried to remember what I did since the last solution version. => Yes, there was a field that I deleted, because the customer does not need it anymore. Because I am working on-premise it was easy to check the database for the specific attribute. First, I searched in the attribute table: SELECT [AttributeId]   FROM [Dev_MSCRM].[MetadataSchema].[Attribute]   where [AttributeId] = '023bda49-9dfa-401e-b348-9374a4141186' => result was nothing I concluded CRM deleted the field in this table but missed to remove the attribute from our customer solution. Next thing was to check the solutioncomponent table: SELECT [ModifiedOn]       ,[CreatedBy]       ,[ObjectId]       ,[IsMetadata]       ,[ModifiedBy
