Outlook integration does not work correctly with Office 2013 in “Click-to-Run”-mode

Symptoms

An error message saying “Not logged on, please log on first” is displayed.

Resolution

Download, unzip and run this hotfix. According to Microsoft, this issue may (or may not) be fixed in a future Office service pack.

Cause

Technical details regarding this problem can be found here.

Affected products

All versions of Lime CRM Desktop Client when used with Microsoft Outlook 2013 in Click-to-Run mode.

Lime CRM Server can cause high memory usage and/or return invalid search results

Summary

It has come to our attention that a caching feature in Lime CRM Server can cause abnormally high memory usage and/or return invalid search results.

Symptoms

There are two different symptoms which may appear separately from each other:

  • The process hosting the LDC subsystem of Lime CRM Server (dllhost.exe) is using very large amounts of memory — hundreds of MBs for smaller installations and > 1 GB for larger installations.
  • When record access filtering is used with a condition on the form [company].[responsible] = ActiveUser records may be shown in lists that the user should not see and also lacks permission to open.

Resolution

Note!

It is NOT necessary to carry out any changes unless you are experiencing any of the above symptoms!

Since the query cache does not provide much of a performance boost (if any) the best solution is to disable it. The cache is disabled by default in Lime CRM Server versions 12.0.973 and later but must be disabled manually by editing the system registry for earlier versions:

  1. Using the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Lundalogik\Lundalogik Data Components\Databases\<database>
  2. Add a DWORD value named UseLDCQueryCache and set it to 0 (zero).
  3. Repeat steps 1-2 for each database in use on the application server.
  4. Restart LDC by going to Component Services | My Computer | COM+ Applications, right-clicking Lundalogik Data Components and selecting Shut down from the context menu.

Cause

The LDC subsystem caches all database queries by storing the generated SQL queries with the LDC XML format query as the key. This means that LDC with time uses more and more memory with performance hits as the result. In some cases the dllhost.exe process may even run out of memory which can cause LDC to crash. When record access filtering with a condition as mentioned above is used the cache key will be identical for all users even though the generated SQL query should differ. This means that the query for the first user that gets his or her query stored in the cache will be used for all other users.

Affected products

All Lime CRM Server versions prior to 12.0.973.

Map Integration can cause problems after installing Windows Updates

Summary

The Lime CRM Map Integration may not function correctly after a certain Windows Update has been installed.

Symptoms

There are multiple symptoms:

  • LIME pro may crash when the application is started
  • Lime CRM may crash when displaying the map pane
  • When clicking a map marker the tooltip window may not be possible to close

Resolution

If the Map Integration is not being used on the machine having problems, the simplest solution is to uninstall it using Control panel | Add/remove programs. Otherwise, follow these steps:

  1. Using Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe), browse to:
    • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION (32-bit Windows)
    • HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION (64-bit Windows)
  2. Add a DWORD value named Lime.exe and set the value to:
    • 8000 decimal when Internet Explorer 9 is used
    • 9999 (decimal) when Internet Explorer 10 or later is used
  3. Restart Lime CRM

Cause

We believe these problems occur due to a compatibility problem introduced in an update from Microsoft, KB3003057.

Affected products

All versions of Lime CRM Maps Integration.

Upgrade/uninstallation of Lime CRM Server 12.0.973.1 may fail

Summary

Due to a problem with the uninstallation script shipped and installed with Lime CRM Server 12.0.973.1, uninstallation and therefore also upgrade, may not work as intended.

Symptoms

An error message saying that Lime CRM Server Administration (LISA) and/or Lundalogik Data Components (LDC) could not be installed appears in the installation log window when upgrading or uninstalling and the setup application indicates failure.

Resolution

Download and run this hotfix. Then re-run the installer.

Cause

A bug in the uninstallation script for version 12.0.973.1 makes the setup application unable to detect which version of LDC and LISA currently installed. Since the version number is part of the .msi file name for these applications the installer can't find out which .msi files to uninstall.

Affected products

Lime CRM Server 12.0.973.1.

Questions?

Please contact our support team if you have questions regarding any of the above.
