The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Team Blog has posted an article regarding a form load performance enhancement that is available if you download Rollup 5. Below is an excerpt, and you can read more about it on their blog post in the link below:

“Some customers extensively customize their CRM installation so that CRM is optimized for their unique business scenarios. When you add a lot of fields on an entity form you might notice it’s load time increases. The performance is not hampered on “out-of-the-box” Microsoft Dynamics CRM configurations. For the majority of users the default settings work fine. But for heavily customized installations, performance can become an issue….”

The article contains a list of the Hotfixes that are contained in the Rollup, as well as a list of the Hotfixes that you need enable or configure manually.

Say for instance a customer is writing custom code that is performing some function in DAX. After that process is done, they might want to send an email to notify either internal employees or external contacts. They can use this code to send an email. I know that workflow will notify internal employees, but if they don’t want to go through the setup and configuration of setting up workflow, they could use this code. One application I can think of would be AR cash receipts journal posting. When the journal is posted, custom code could be written to send the customer an email notifying them that their payment(s) have been received and applied. Just like the email you get when you pay your credit card online.

If an email needs to be send from a custom application, it can be done with the following code:

SysMailer mail;
;

mail = new SysMailer();
mail.SMTPRelayServer(“yourexchange.server”);
mail.fromAddress(“fromaddress@address.com”);
mail.tos().appendAddress(“toaddress@address.com”);

// Build the Message
mail.htmlBody(strfmt(“This is a test”));
mail.subject(strfmt(“Testing AX Email”));
mail.sendMail();

A few days ago, Microsoft released new versions of their Update Rollup 2 packages, which were released on January 15th, 2009. Uninstalling the original Update Rollup 2 package is unnecesary. If you didn’t see anything weird happening after installing Update Rollup 2 (nothing was going wrong), then you probably don’t need to download the new version.
