Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 15 is available

Update Rollup 15 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 is now available. This update only contains bug fixes and no new functionality.

Check out here for complete details: Rollup 15 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 KB Article

Update Rollup 15 for Dynamics CRM 2011 provides the following improvements:

  • It includes a new feature that is scheduled to be delivered with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013. This feature moves the CRM client-specific workload into its own process so that it no longer shares memory with the Microsoft Office Outlook process. This feature is also known as Process Isolation.
  • It includes an upgrade to Microsoft SQL Server for Windows CE 4.0 for better memory management, better caching, and connection enhancements.
  • It updates the CRM for Outlook configuration files to make the CRM for Outlook SDF files compatible with SQL Server for Windows CE 4.0.
  • It materializes the Address Book Provider to reduce performance issues that  are caused by large address books.
  • It limits the amount of active open forms.
  • It provides a MAPI Lock time-out.
  • It hard codes a previous registry setting that prevented pinned views from pulling down information to local SQL CE cache. This new DisableMapiCaching  setting defaults to a value of 1. For more information about the behavior of this setting, see Slow Performance When Pinning Views in Microsoft Dynamics CRM
    Note: This value can be overridden by modifying the DisableMapiCaching  setting in the OrgDbOrgSettings tool if the critical update has been applied to the Dynamics CRM server. For more information, see OrgDBOrgSettings Tool for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.

Update Rollup 15 resolves the following issues:

  • New organization setting to disable presence for Contacts.
  • Report Editor User Interface edit buttons for Categories, Related Record Types and Display have button displaying  “…” intended for editing the field options.
  • After the General and Administration tabs user focus moves to the address bar before returning to the form.
  • When a view list is opened, focus is not placed on the options and you cannot tab or use the arrow keys.
  • Dashboard Tab Ordering is incorrect.
  • Custom Entities are not available for Appointment lookup fields.
  • Menu not navigable with the keyboard when using screen reader.
  • Dynamics CRM 2011 SharePoint 2010 List Web Part Ignored When Using Metadata Managed Columns.
  • There are two tabs which are untitled frames on the new dashboard editing page when tabbing off the Name field.
  • Slow performance logging into the CRM for Outlook client when the organization has a large amount of teams. I.E. 5000 teams.
  • When qualifying a Lead using the Sales Refresh forms in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, the contact information is missing from the newly created Opportunity form.
  • Performance issues when adding or removing a team  member due to the p_SystemUserBuEntityMapReinit stored procedure.

This error occurs if the Check Condition or Wait Condition contains a condition for a lookup field that was previously existing in the step. The error is as follows:This process cannot be created, updated or activated because it was created outside the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web application. Your organization does not allow this type of workflow.
  • Users can select inactive queues under My Work | Queues when they should not appear here.
  • When you leverage retrieve multiple optimizations in  CRM 2011 and you request data from CRM using the 2007 endpoint those requests may result in errors if deletion state code attributes are  automatically included in the list of columns to be retrieved. These deletion state code attributes are added automatically for backward  compatibility to CRM 2007 endpoint requests.
  • Business required Currency field shows original value on mobile express when saving as blank.
  • SDK- FetchXmlToQueryExpressionRequest does not work after Update Rollup 11.
