I want to upgrade my ms crm 365 on prem V9.1 to ms crm 365 online .
I create a dev environment of dynamics crm 365 online (latest version).
when i tried to export and import an unmanaged solution with all my entities ,i got an exception that there are same custom managed entities that need their managed solution as dependency.
because i cant export a managed solution and i dont have the original solution, i can't transfer all my entities .
I recently upgraded from crm 2011 to crm 365 on prem, and the entities were created in crm 2011 version ,in crm 2011 we worked with unmanaged and for same reason someone create a managed solution.
Now i have managed solution witch i can't export .
I thought about uninstalling the managed solution and creating these entities again, But because these entities were created years ago there is a lot of data under this entities .
so deleting and creating the entities is my last option.
How can i solve this problem ? how can i transfer this entities ?

Is Entity Change Tracking supported in version 8.2 on-premise?
I couldn't find an actual article from Microsoft that confirms this.
Use change tracking to synchronize data with external systems
For Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organizations, this feature is available only if your organization has updated to Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update 1. This feature is not available for Dynamics CRM (on-premises).
We are developing an Addon for the Dynamics CRM and we need pre-populated data in some of our master entities.
Are there any ways to import data at the same time when we deploy our Add-on in client CRM environment?
Yes, via a tool called the Dynamics 365 Package Deployer.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Package Deployer lets administrators deploy
packages on Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) and Dynamics 365
(on-premises) instances. A “package” can consist of any or all of the
following:
One or more Dynamics 365 solution files.
Flat files or exported configuration data file from the Configuration
Migration tool. For more information about the tool, see TechNet:
Manage your configuration data.
Custom code that can run before, while, or after the package is deployed to the Dynamics 365 instance.
HTML content specific to the package that can display at the beginning and end of the deployment process. This can be useful to
provide a description of the solutions and files that are deployed in
the package.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides you with a Visual Studio template for
creating these packages that can be used with the Package Deployer
tool to deploy them to a Dynamics 365instance.
Here's a video about creating a package.
And another about deploying a package.
We recently upgraded to Dynamics 365 from CRM Online 2016. As a result all our CRM Organizations and Regions are no longer appearing in the Unified Service Desk CRM Organization selection window. Kindly advise on how to restore.
It Seems that you were force updated, acoording to the Update Policy the minor version supported is n-2 (8.1 in the current scenario) if you want to go back to 8.0 it won't be possible cause isn't supported any more, if you want to go back to any of the supported previous versions could restore one of the snapshot of the database that if aven't pass more than 3 days, in that case you could create a customer support ticket and ask for an older backup
Hope it helps
I am doing some research on building integrations for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The integration I am building will be for Dynamics CRM Online 2013, but I am curious if the 2013 version shares an API with the 2011 version.
Does anyone know if an integration built for Dynamics CRM Online 2013 will be backwards compatible with Dynamics CRM Online 2011?
Any insight here would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone has good resources for working with these API's using Ruby that would be awesome...
Thanks!
I wrote some integration for CRM 2011 Online (C# and PHP/SOAP) and I can happily say both still work.
Any integration written with CRM4 in mind would need some modifications I believe (this may just be changing the endpoints) but 2011 and 2013 seem to work ok together.
If you are wanting to connect using a non .Net language be careful as it can be significantly more painful then creating a wrapper for the web service then talking to that from Ruby.
To connect with a non .Net language you need to use SOAP. I have put some posts here (PHP code but it should be easy enough to convert)
http://crmtroubleshoot.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/dynamics-crm-2011-php-and-soap-using.html
I currently don't have it working with Active Directory authentication though!
Everything that I've read about the API changes from 2011 to 2013 has boiled down to the removal of the CRM 4 aspx endpoint. Besides that, most of the changes to CRM are front end.
I read somewhere that a solution made in 2013 can't be exported in 2011. So I don't think will be retro-compatible.
Chapter-
Introduction to solutions
here it is from the SDK:
Version compatibility
Solutions exported from an older version can be imported into newer versions. Solutions exported from newer versions cannot be imported into older versions. This includes major and minor version differences.
Solutions exported from a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 environment or a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online organization prior to the Fall '13 Service Update can be imported into organizations using the initial release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall '13 Service Update. However as updates are applied and include new features or metadata definitions, these new features or definitions cannot be included in a solution that is installed on an organization that is not current with the definition that the solution was exported from.
I am moving my CRM Solution from Local and importing that in Development Environment.
Wondering if there is any way to export the Data along with the Entities?
Appreciate your Responses.
Thanks
Not as part of the solution package, no. Try exporting it to excel and then importing through the import wizard.
I'm about to try the Reference Data Transporter from MSCRM 2011 ToolKit: http://mscrmtoolkit.codeplex.com/documentation#referencedatatransporter
I had some problems with that so now I'm trying the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Instance Adapter as recommended by a guy at Microsoft partner support.
However, I can't get this to install properly. In fact the installation is generally tortuous.
