MS CRM 2015, plugins don't seem to fire - plugins

I'm having some trouble with the new MS CRM 2015 as I cannot make my plugins fire.
I even tried to take some of the very simple plugin samples from the 2015 SDK and register them 'non sandbox' but the result is the same.
The only thing I cant actually get to do anything on the triggering event is the plugin profiler, but that doesn't really help me much.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I could really use some advice on what to try/check next because Google doesn't appear to be my friend in this case?
The current deployment is on-premise by the way but there is no Visual Studio available on the server.
Here is the code from sample which I have altered just a tiny bit to only trigger on 1 specific account.
using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
namespace Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Samples
{
public class FollowupPlugin: IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
//Extract the tracing service for use in debugging sandboxed plug-ins.
ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
//</snippetFollowupPlugin1>
//<snippetFollowupPlugin2>
// The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
// Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.
Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
//</snippetFollowupPlugin2>
// Verify that the target entity represents an account.
// If not, this plug-in was not registered correctly.
if (entity.LogicalName != "account")
return;
try
{
if (entity.Attributes.ContainsKey("accountid"))
{
if (entity.GetAttributeValue<Guid>("accountid").ToString().ToLower() == "ee03d883-5b18-de11-a0d1-000c2962895d") // specific test account
{
// Create a task activity to follow up with the account customer in 7 days.
Entity followup = new Entity("task");
followup["subject"] = "Send e-mail to the new customer.";
followup["description"] = "Follow up with the customer. Check if there are any new issues that need resolution.";
followup["scheduledstart"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7);
followup["scheduledend"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7);
followup["category"] = context.PrimaryEntityName;
// Refer to the account in the task activity.
if (context.OutputParameters.Contains("id"))
{
Guid regardingobjectid = new Guid(context.OutputParameters["id"].ToString());
string regardingobjectidType = "account";
followup["regardingobjectid"] = new EntityReference(regardingobjectidType, regardingobjectid);
}
//<snippetFollowupPlugin4>
// Obtain the organization service reference.
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
//</snippetFollowupPlugin4>
// Create the task in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
tracingService.Trace("FollowupPlugin: Creating the task activity.");
service.Create(followup);
}
}
}
//<snippetFollowupPlugin3>
catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
{
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in the FollupupPlugin plug-in.", ex);
}
//</snippetFollowupPlugin3>
catch (Exception ex)
{
tracingService.Trace("FollowupPlugin: {0}", ex.ToString());
throw;
}
}
}
}
}

Google API consent screen not showing up on after publishing to server

I am working with the Google Provisioning API. I have used Web Application type project from Google developer console. I have used Diamto blog and samples and it works perfectly on my local with all options like FileStore, Custom File Store, Service Account etc but when I uploaded on server user consent screen just doesn't pops up with any options like FileStore, Custom File Store. I spent days to figure out problem and solutions but nothing has worked for me so far.
my configuration
My server configuration is windows server 2008 datacenter r2,.net 4.5,IIS 7.5.
Service account works perfectly but I need to do it by Consent screen so Web Application type of project.
I have used google .net client library with version 1.9.2.27817.

CRM 2011 Online Plugin works fine but no Update committed

I'm a new developper in CRM 2011. I've made that simple code for tests.
It appears that the plugin works fine (checked with the ITracingService) but it seems that the attributes doesn't take the new values.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
namespace AgeUpdatePlugin
{
public class AgeUpdatePlugin:IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
try
{
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
if (tracingService == null)
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Failed to retrieve the tracing service.");
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
tracingService.Trace("Plugin has started..");
//l'expression de condition
ConditionExpression condition = new ConditionExpression("new_datenaissance", ConditionOperator.NotNull);
FilterExpression filter = new FilterExpression();
filter.Conditions.Add(condition);
ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet();
//cols.AddColumn("Id");
cols.AddColumn("new_candidatid");
cols.AddColumn("new_age");
cols.AddColumn("new_datenaissance");
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression();
query.Criteria = filter;
query.EntityName = "new_candidat";
query.ColumnSet = cols;
tracingService.Trace("appel retrieve multiple with date=" + DateTime.Now.ToString() + "/"+DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime().ToString());
var retrieve = service.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities;
foreach (var c in retrieve)
{
var dt =(DateTime)c.Attributes["new_datenaissance"];
tracingService.Trace(dt.ToString());
if (dt.Month == DateTime.Now.Month && dt.Day == DateTime.Now.Day)
{
tracingService.Trace((DateTime.Now.Year - DateTime.Parse(c["new_datenaissance"].ToString()).Year).ToString());
c.Attributes["new_age"] = DateTime.Now.Year - DateTime.Parse(c["new_datenaissance"].ToString()).Year;
tracingService.Trace(c.Attributes["new_candidatid"].ToString() +" - "+c.Attributes["new_age"].ToString());
service.Update(c);
tracingService.Trace("updated");
}
}
tracingService.Trace("Plugin done working");
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("This is from a plugin that Mehdi has created ");
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
throw exc;
}
}
}
}
Whenever you throw an exception within a plugin the transaction is aborted so you won't see your changes applied. Remove the following line:
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("This is from a plugin that Mehdi has created ");
I assume you added this to see the trace output which is only available when an exception is thrown. With CRM Online your best bet for tracing is to write to a custom trace entity.

How to get EF Code First DbContext Transaction row identity?

Is it possible to get the identity of a record after the SaveChanges method but prior to the TransactionScope.Complete call using the DbContext? Do we need to cast to ObjectContext to get this functionality?
We need this when we send a message to a transactional queue on a separate server using MSDTC.
Example:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
const string qName = ".\\Private$\\DbContextTransactions";
var db = new BlogDb();
// force db creation & create queue
Console.WriteLine("Count={0}", db.Posts.Count());
if (!MessageQueue.Exists(qName))
MessageQueue.Create(qName, true); // transactional
try
{
using (var t = new TransactionScope())
using (MessageQueue q = new MessageQueue(qName))
{
var post = new Post() { Title = "Test " + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString() };
db.Posts.Add(post);
db.SaveChanges();
// TODO: how do we get post.Id (updated identity)?
q.Send(post.Id, MessageQueueTransactionType.Automatic);
t.Complete();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
Console.WriteLine("Count={0}", db.Posts.Count());
Console.ReadLine();
}
The identity value should always be set after you call SaveChanges, even inside a TransactionScope.

Dynamics CRM 4.0 plugin fails when triggered by API

I have a plugin registered for when an account is created or updated, this is registered for the post stage.
The plugin works fine when a user creates or updates an account through the CRM interface, however when an account is created uging the API the plugin fails with the ever helpful 'server was unable to process the request' message. if an account is updated through the api the plugin also works correctly.
anyone have any ideas why?
UPDATE:
here is the create code
account = new CrmService.account();
account.ownerid = new CrmService.Owner();
account.ownerid.Value = new Guid("37087BC2-F2F0-DC11-A856-001E0B617486");
account.ownerid.type = CrmService.EntityName.systemuser.ToString();

account.new_companytype.Value = 1;
break;
case SmeType.Small:
account.new_companytype.Value = 2;
break;
case SmeType.Medium:
account.new_companytype.Value = 3;
break;
default:
break;
}
account.new_balancesheettotal = new CrmService.CrmMoney();
account.new_balancesheettotal.Value = preQualModel.BalanceSheetGBP;
account.revenue = new CrmService.CrmMoney();
account.revenue.Value = preQualModel.SalesTurnoverGBP;
if (model.Website != null)
{
account.websiteurl = model.Website.ToString();
}
account.numberofemployees = new CrmService.CrmNumber();

Sometimes it can be difficult to see the actual source of an error in plugins. In moments like this tracing is your friend. You can use this tool to enable tracing. When you have the trace files, try to search them for the error you got in your exception. This should tell you more details about what is failing.
Turns out this was due to me expecting data that was not there due to some weird behaviour in CRM.
I was taking the dynamicEntity passed to the plugin like so
entity = (DynamicEntity)context.InputParameters.Properties[ParameterName.Target];
But this was missing critical things like accountid. fixed it by using the PostEntityImage entity instead, which had all of the expected data like so
entity = (DynamicEntity)context.PostEntityImages[ParameterName.Target];

Autofac Contrib Multi Tenant throws "Request is not available in this context" exception

I am using http://code.google.com/p/autofac/wiki/MultitenantIntegration version 2.4.4 with Autofac 2.4.4 on an ASP.Net MVC 3.0.
I use the new Asp.Net MVC 3 support (using AutofacDependencyResolver). I encounter a problem that the tenant identification strategy class (implementing ITenantIdentificationStrategy) throws "Request is not available in this context" exception.
I tried using AutofacContrib.Multitenant.Web.RequestParameterTenantIdentificationStrategy class and it also throws the same exception.
My application_start looks as follow
protected void Application_Start()
{
//wire up all the necessary objects used in this web application
IContainer container = BootStrap.RegisterAll().Build();
//multi tenant support
MultitenantContainer multiTenant = new MultiTenancy().Register(container);
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(multiTenant.BeginLifetimeScope()));
}
Never mind. HttpContext.Current.Request is not available at Application_Start in IIS 7.0. The only solution to this is to capture the HTTPException and set the TenantId to null at Catch and return false.
public bool TryIdentifyTenant(out object tenantId)
{
var current = HttpContext.Current;
try
{
if (current == null)
{
tenantId = null;
return false;
}
var request = current.Request;
}
catch (HttpException)
{
tenantId = null;
return false;
}
//continue with your tenant identification
}
