What’s New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM “4” CTP 2 Server

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 includes several new enterprise-level features that offer a wide range of flexibility, scalability, and ease of use.

Multi-tenancy

Earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server provided a single organization solution. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 provides the ability to host multiple organizations in a single Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployment. This feature is a great benefit for hosted solutions. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 now implements two types of databases:

A single configuration database that stores metadata and location information for all organizations
One or more organization databases

Server roles

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 introduces several new server roles that provide services, which increase flexibility and scalability. You can choose to have a computer dedicated to one server role or to all server roles.

The server roles are selected and installed during Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Server Setup. The server roles are:

Application Server Role: This server role provides the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Web user interface and services.
Asynchronous Services Role: This server role allows you to deploy the asynchronous services, such as the Workflow and Bulk E-mail services to a separate machine.
SQL Governor Role: This server role manages user requests during heavy loads to deliver efficient throughput and increased quality of service.

SRS Data Connector

The SRS Data Connector is a service that connects the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 Server computer to the Microsoft SQL Report Server computer. The SRS Data Connector eliminates the Kerberos double-hop authentication that was required for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 deployments where Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services was installed on a separate computer.

The SRS Data Connector is installed as a separate component.

Resource Center

The Resource Center provides a place within the application where users, administrators, and implementers will find information to help them use and configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM. When completed, the Resource Center will present a wide range of rich content and links to valuable resources. Much of the content in the Resource Center will be created by experts in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM community.

What’s new in Data Management?

New data management features provide tools to load data into all entities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and ways to ensure data quality by detecting and merging duplicate records.

· Data can be migrated into Microsoft Dynamics CRM using the Data Migration Wizard. This wizard is installed on a client computer.

· Data can be imported into most entities, using the new Imports area. The first row of each .csv file must use the exact Display Labels used on the Attribute page for the entity, because custom map files are not yet implemented. For each import, the user can view the status of each record in the import.

· Data can be enriched by exporting data to a Microsoft Office Excel worksheet, adding data, and importing the records.

· Duplicates can be detected automatically in a variety of scenarios: when importing records, when a record is created or updated, when the Microsoft Dynamics client for Outlook goes from offline to online, or as a result of a workflow action.

· System administrators can run duplicate detection on selected entities as an asynchronous job.

· Users can run duplicate detection from any view on selected records or all records in the entity.

· System administrators can define the rules used for duplicate detection for each entity.

· Access control to data management features is based on privileges to the new entities: data imports, import maps, and duplicate-detection rules, and on new global duplicate-detection settings, which control where duplicate-detection is enabled.

What’s New in Customization?

Several of the new customization features are:

Form Assistant options in form properties. You can set options for how the Form Assistant displays for each entity.

Duplicate detection. In each entity you can decide whether to enable duplicate detection.
IME mode selection for each attribute. Input Method Editor (IME) mode can be set for attributes which accept text or numbers. IME is used for East Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) to allow for the thousands of possible characters in these languages to be entered using a keyboard.
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) files to download. Use links available in the Customization area to download WSDL files for programming
Application mode setting. In System Settings you can choose whether Microsoft Dynamics CRM will launch in application mode. Application mode hides the address, tool, and menu bars on the browser.
ISV integration setting. In System Settings you can choose whether custom buttons or menus will be displayed.

What’s New in Workflow?

In earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, creating workflows was limited to users who had been granted permission to access the server that was running Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Workflow creation is now available to all users of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web client. Additionally, administrative users can now monitor individual workflow jobs in the new System Jobs area of the Web client.

System jobs are processes that run in the background, such as workflow jobs and bulk import. When a system job is started, the person starting the job can select who should be notified by e-mail when the job completes.

The new Web-based workflow system is fully integrated into the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web client and replaces the server-based Workflow Manager tool. Based on Windows Workflow Foundation, the new Microsoft Dynamics CRM workflow system also supports a broad range of activities created outside the Web client using development tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio®.

What’s New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM “4” CTP 2 E-mail Router?

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 E-mail Router includes the following new features:

Support for multiple Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 servers and multiple e-mail systems.
Separately maintained incoming and outgoing e-mail server configurations.
Support for POP3 incoming e-mail servers.
The E-mail Router can now be installed on a Windows Server-based computer that is not running Microsoft Exchange.

What’s New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM “4” CTP 2 Client for Office Outlook?

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 clients for Microsoft Office Outlook include the following new features:

· The E-mail Router is no longer required to send and receive Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Community Technology Preview 2 e-mail messages.

· Setup and configuration are now separate programs.

· There is an updated look using the Office user interface components, such as the Ribbon, which replaces the traditional menu and toolbar.
