Hi dmbrandon,

Duplicate detection runs automatically when Outlook goes online from offline if settings says so. By default it is disabled. To enable it in outlook go to CRM > Options menu > Synchronization tab and select Do not create duplicates option and now when going from offline to online outlook will throw Data Synchronization error dialog if any duplicate is found and will ask you to choose appropriate actions like Resolve duplicate or Ignore duplicate.

I am imporeting data via Data migration manager and not through Bulk import wizard , can dupicate detection work while inserting data thro DMM tool ?

re: CRM 4: System-wide Duplicate Detection

Sudhakar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:45:11 GMT

No, Duplicate detection doesn't work with DMM. This is as per design so that user dont get a lot of errors during migration. To clean the data after migration you can anytime run the bulk duplicate detection wizard.

Excellent article!

Quick question - In my environment, then when selecting 'send email to me when job is finished', the email message has a link using an internal name of the crm server and NOT the fully qualified name that is used to access the system.

The fully qualified name with https is displayed OK when sending 'short cuts' from within the crm system.

Any ideas on where I may be able to fix this?

Thanks a bunch!

This is currently a limitation where the hyperlink works fine for on premise deployments. This will be fixed in next version.

In single organization environment, you might give a try to replacing '@servername' with fully qualified name in the following email templates:

1. Bulk Deletion Task Completed With Failure Template

2. Bulk Deletion Task Completion Template

3. Bulk Deletion Task Failed Template

I should warn you that in multi organization environment there might not be a workaround which works for all.

Hi Alex,

You can update the URL in the e-mail template being used for duplicate detection completion.

For this navigate to

Settings->Templates->E-mail Templates and open

"Duplicate Detection Task Completion Template".Here you can update the link to reflect the fully qualified name.Once done all e-mails specific to this template will be created with updated link.

The detection works very fine!

How is it possible to delete the detected records?

Thanks,

Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

In the View Duplicates dialog itself, on lower duplicate records grid toolbar there are options for deleting/deactivating/editing/merging the duplicate record.

I started a duplicate detection rule and now I cannot stop it. I get an error message "The duplicate detection rule is currently being used and cannot be updated or deleted. Please try again later."

I cannot delete, unpublish, edit or anything else. I created this for use with a custom entity and cannot delete the entity either.

There may be running rule(s) that are in "wait" mode. Drill down on the duplicate detecton rule via system jobs and find out which ones are pending/wait and cancel those. You can then delete, unpublish, edit, etc.

Peter McKenzie-Bridle — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 01:29:55 GMT

2 years ago someone added some products, quotes, orders and invoices to our production CRM system when testing this feature. We now want to use the integrated ordering processes but want to remove the old test data - because they are related records (i.e. a product is contained in an order which was cancelled) I'm unable to remove the data through the GUI. What other methods can I use to remove this redundant data?

I too cannot unpublish a system rule either and there is nothing in a wait status either.

re: CRM 4: System-wide Duplicate Detection

Debbie Grale — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 21:14:58 GMT

I also cannot unpublish a rule, there is nothing in wait status. (there is nothing about duplicate detection in system jobs)

I've deleted the results of the last duplicate detection job I ran, with no luck. Have logged out of CRM and logged back in and still unable to unpublish.

re: CRM 4: System-wide Duplicate Detection

RC@ — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:25:37 GMT

Duplicate Detection runs for all the published rules for any entity and there is no concept of choosing duplicate rules while doing duplicate detection.

What does the above line mean?

Actually I created a workflow on Email creation and has nothing to do with the duplicate detection rule created for lead entity. But there seems to be an entry of a system job of this duplicate detedtion rule under that workflow created on the email entity!!

Any suggestions?? Please help!

Regards,

I was also unable to unpublish/delete duplicate detection rule. I tried searching for the duplicate-detection rule in waiting state from Settings>>System jobs but i couldn't find the job in waiting state. Thanks to "Advance Find" which helped me to find the duplicate-detection job in waiting state. I used following query: Look For: System Jobs

System Job Type: Equals : Bulk Duplicate Detection

Status Reason : Equals : Waiting

This query displayed a job that was in waiting state. After cancelling the job I was able to unpublish the rule.

Duplicate detection rules have been unpublished and re-published and each time they are stuck in 'Publishing' status.

Tried creating new rules after the re-deploy and get the same results when publishing these.

Any ideas about how I can get the rules to publish?

Is there a way to change the number of rows that display in the upper portion of the screen when viewing a duplicate detection job? I can only see 12 rows at maximum. Also, would be nice if there was an Export to Excel option for the list.
