Whenever I tried to export the default solution from our on-premise 2016 instance, it would error out after about 6 minutes with a generic error of: “Unexpected error occurred”
On the webserver running CRM, I found the following error message:

The fact that it was happening on “RaiseExceptionIfNotActivatedBPF”, told me it had something to do with workflows.
Looking for ways to fix it on the interwebs brought me to the following post:https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/232669, which points out the fact that Workflow records somehow got messed up with the upgrade. Simply, running the following statement worked for me:
IMPORTANT: Running sql directly against your CRM database is not supported and could void your warranty. So do so, at your own peril!
Please note: I did this on a test CRM instance that was not going to be used in production. If you plan on using this fix, it is probably better for you to engage Microsoft Support and have them look at your organization database.
UPDATE WorkflowBase
SET
BusinessProcessType = 0
WHERE Category = 4
AND BusinessProcessType IS NULL;
But in case that doesn't, run the following script in its entirety:
BEGIN TRAN; SELECT name, Workflowid, WorkflowIdUnique, CreatedOn, overwritetime FROM workflowbase WHERE name = 'Opportunity Sales Process'; UPDATE WorkflowBase SET UniqueName = 'opportunitysalesprocess' WHERE WorkflowId = '3E8EBEE6-A2BC-4451-9C5F-B146B085413A'; SELECT Businessprocesstype, UniqueName, statecode, statuscode, workflowid FROM workflowbase WHERE category = 4; SELECT UniqueName, statecode, statuscode, BusinessProcessType, SupportingSolutionId, * FROM workflowbase WHERE WorkflowId = '3E8EBEE6-A2BC-4451-9C5F-B146B085413A'; UPDATE WorkflowBase SET SupportingSolutionId = NULL WHERE WorkflowId = '3E8EBEE6-A2BC-4451-9C5F-B146B085413A'; UPDATE WorkflowBase SET BusinessProcessType = 0 WHERE Category = 4 AND BusinessProcessType IS NULL; UPDATE WorkflowBase SET UniqueName = 'phonetocaseprocess' WHERE WorkflowId = '0FFBCDE4-61C1-4355-AA89-AA1D7B2B8792'; UPDATE WorkflowBase SET UniqueName = 'leadtoopportunitysalesprocess' WHERE WorkflowId = '919E14D1-6489-4852-ABD0-A63A6ECAAC5D'; COMMIT TRAN; |
