0x80040237 Cannot insert duplicate key.
I'm trying to write an import routine for MSCRM4.0 through the CrmService.
This has been successful up until this point. Initially I was just letting CRM generate the primary keys of the records. But my client wanted the ability to set the key of a our custom entity to predefined values. Potentially this enables us to know what data was created by our installer, and what data was created post-install.
I tested to ensure that the Guids can be set when calling the CrmService.Update() method and the results indicated that records were created with our desired values. I ran my import and everything seemed successful. In modifying my validation code of the import files, I deleted the data (through the crm browser interface) and tried to re-import. Unfortunately now it throws and a duplicate key error.
Why is this error being thrown? Does the Crm interface delete the record, or does it still exist but hidden from user's eyes? Is there a way to ensure that a deleted record is permanently deleted and the Guid becomes free? In a live environment, these Guids would never have existed, but during my development I need these imports to be successful.
By the way, considering I'm having this issue, does this imply that statically setting Guids is not a recommended practice?
As far I can tell entities are soft-deleted so it would not be possible to reuse that Guid unless you (or the deletion service) deleted the entity out of the database.
For example in the LeadBase table you will find a field called DeletionStateCode, a value of 0 implies the record has not been deleted.
A value of 2 marks the record for deletion. There's a deletion service that runs every 2(?) hours to physically delete those records from the table.
I think Zahir is right, try running the deletion service and try again. There's some info here: http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2006/10/24/purging-old-instances-of-workflow-in-microsoft-crm.aspx
Zahir is correct.
After you import and delete the records, you can kick off the deletion service at a time you choose with this tool. That will make it easier to test imports and reimports.

Is there anyway to check duplicate the message control id (MSH:10) in MSH segment using Mirth connect?
MSH|^~&|sss|xxx|INSTANCE2|KKLIU 0063/2021|20190905162034||ADT^A28^ADT_A05|Zx20190905162034|P|2.4|||NE|NE|||||
whenever message enters it needs to be validated whether duplicate of control id Zx20190905162034 is already processed or not?
Mirth will not do this for you, but you can write your own JavaScript transformer to check a database or your own set of previously encountered control ids.
Your JavaScript can make use of any appropriate Java classes.
The database check (you can implement this using code template) is the easier way out. You might want to designate the column storing MSH:10 values as a primary key or define an index on it. Queries against unique entries would be faster. Other alternatives include periodically redeploying the Channel while reading all MSH:10 values already in the database and placing them in a global map variable or maintained in an API that you can make a GET request to when processing every message. Any of the options depends on the number of records we are speaking about.
I want to "reset" certain data in my database tables using a RESTful method but I'm not sure which one I should be using. UPDATE because I'm deleting records and updating the record where the ID is referenced (but never removing the record where ID lives itself), or DELETE because my main action is to delete associated records and updating is tracking those changes?
I suppose this action can be ran multiple times but the result will be the same, however the ID will always be found when "resetting".
I think you want the DELETE method
We have three Organization tenents, Dev, Test and Live. All hosted on premise (CRM 2011. [5.0.9690.4376] [DB 5.0.9690.4376]).
Because the way dialogs uses GUIDs to refference record in Lookup, we aim to maintain GUIDs for static records same across all three tenents.
While all other entities are working fine, I am failing to import USERS and also maintain their GUIDS. I am using Export/Import to get the data from Master tenent (Dev) in to the Test and Live tenents. It is very similar to what 'configuration migration tool' does in CRM 2013.
Issue I am facing is that in all other entities I can see the Guid field and hence I map it during the import wizard but no such field shows up in SystemUser entity while running import wizards. For example, with Account, I will export a Account, amend CSV file and import it in the target tenant. When I do this, I map AccountId (from target) to the Account of source and as a result this account's AccountId will be same both in source and target.
At this point, I am about to give up trying but that will cause all dialogs that uses User lookup will fail.
Thank you for your help,
Try following steps. I would strongly recommend to try this on a old out of use tenant before trying it on live system. I am not sure if this is supported by MS but it works for me. (Another thing, you will have to manually assign BU and Roles following import)
Create advance find. Include all required fields for the SystemUser record. Add criteria that selects list of users you would like to move across.
Export
Save file as CSV (this will show the first few hidden columns in excel)
Rename the Primary Key field (in this case User) and remove all other fields with Do Not Modify.
Import file and map this User column (with GUID) to the User from CRM
Import file and check GUIDs in both tenants.
Good luck.
My only suggestion is that you could try to write a small console application that connects to both your source and destination organisations.
Using that you can duplicate the user records from the source to the destination preserving the IDs in the process
I can't say 100% it'll work but I can't immediately think of a reason why it wouldn't. This is assuming all of the users you're copying over don't already existing in your target environments
I prefer to resolve these issues by creating custom workflow activities. For example; you could create a custom workflow activity that returns a user record by an input domain name as a string.
This means your dialogs contain only shared configuration values, e.g. mydomain\james.wood which are used to dynamically find the record you need. Your dialog is then linked to a specific record, but without having the encode the source guid.
I'm currently building a web frontend for a Matlab program. I'm using webread/webwrite to interface with the Firebase realtime database (Though I'll be shifting to urlread2 soon for compatibility reasons). The Matlab end has to delete nodes from the database on a regular basis. I do this by using webwrite to send a POST request and putting "X-HTTP-Method-Override: DELETE" in the header. This works, but after a few deletes it stops working until data is either added to or removed from the database. It seems completely random, my teammate and I have been trying to find a pattern for a few days and we've found nothing.
Here is the relevant Matlab code:
modurl = strcat(url, modkey, '.json');
modurlstr = char(modurl);
webop = weboptions('KeyName', 'X-HTTP-Method-Override', 'KeyValue','DELETE');
webwrite(modurlstr, webop);
Where url is our database url and modkey is the key of the node we're trying to delete. There's no authentication because the database is set to public (Security is not an issue for us).
The database is organized pretty simply. The root node just has a bunch of children. We only delete a whole child (i.e. we don't ever try to delete the individual components of a child).
Are we doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
We found out some of the keys had hyphens in them, which were getting translated to their ascii representation. The reason it seemed random was because the delete was only bugging out on the nodes which had a hyphen in their keys. When we switched them back everything worked fine.
I have some Account info that contains multiple addresses that I need to enter into CRM 13 for a client. I was instructed by my PM to create a separate csv doc with the duplicate accounts and their info on them and import them into the Address entity, and that this should tie those records to their respective account records. The problem I am having, though, is that every time I have tried to do the import, the process fails. When I look at the log, I have two references that the data failed an import because of a parent id issue. I get both this error: The parent is not valid; and this one under the last column on the log: parent id not set for address type 1701.
I have no idea what parent id I am supposed to map to, because there aren't any to map to when on the import field mapping set up. I have tried creating a lookup field on the Address entity that calls back to the Account form, but that is not allowed by the system. I have relabeled ALL the fields I have to map on the CSV doc to match the proper entity names, and it fails. I have even tried to map it to the one primary key field name on the drop down, and it fails. When I look at the fields individually, there is only one lookup field that goes back to the Account data: The Parent field. It's the ONLY one I can think I could use, but when you go into the form editor it doesn't exist. This seems to be the only way I can do this like my PM wanted.
I am at a loss. I have scoured the internet, and I can't find an answer to how to resolve this. If anyone knows how I can import this data so that it ties to the Account entity, I would greatly appreciate it.
Turns out that CRM 15 has some issues with showing fields in Firefox, at the moment, but not with IE. And it was the last thing I thought to look at, until a coworker brought it up. Problem solved.
