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]
      ,[SolutionId]
      ,[SolutionComponentId]
      ,[CreatedOn]
      ,[VersionNumber]
      ,[ComponentType]
      ,[CreatedOnBehalfBy]
      ,[ModifiedOnBehalfBy]
      ,[RootComponentBehavior]
      ,[RootSolutionComponentId]
  FROM [Dev_MSCRM].[dbo].[SolutionComponentBase]
  where ObjectId = '023bda49-9dfa-401e-b348-9374a4141186'

=> There we go! There is still an entry where it should not be :(

Now I backed up this record from this table and deleted this record from the solutioncomponentbase table:

DELETE FROM [dbo].[SolutionComponentBase]
      WHERE ObjectId = '023bda49-9dfa-401e-b348-9374a4141186'

Next time I tried to export the solution it worked just perfectly.
Problem solved!

    I think a safer way to accomplish this might be to remove the offending entity (the one the field was removed from) and add it back to the solution.

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 SP1: Solution import failed with Solution With Id = 12ac16ec-41d5-1685-a230-0b1c31499250 Does Not Exist

Importing Solutions with the upgrade solution (holding solution) option is still not stable with CRM 2016 SP1 On-Premise. Ronald Lemmon already posted the same issue on his blog: http://ronaldlemmen.blogspot.de/2015/11/solution-with-id-86ac16ec-41d7-4685.html I expected it to be fixed with SP1 but it is still happening every now and then. With this query and the solution id (guid) of the error message you are able to find records in the ProcessTriggerBase table that reference the guid of a failed import from a holding solution that is not existing in the system anymore. select * from ProcessTriggerBase where solutionid = 'YOUR_SOLUTION_GUID' Due to this reference to a solution id not existing in the system you will not be able to import a new version of the target solution to be updated. What I did and this is probably not a supported solution is to update the guid to the actual target solution that is currently deployed in the system. To find out the id of ...
