Crm 2013 Unsupported CRM 4.0 & Legacy Features

The following Microsoft Dynamics CRM features, which you could be using with your CRM 2011 system, will no longer be supported within Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013.

• 2007 Web Service Endpoint
• ISV folder – you might have used this for custom web applications. Create all custom web applications as new Web Sites in IIS for CRM 2013.
• CRM 4.0 Plug-ins
• CRM 4.0 Client-Side Scripting. crmForm syntax is no longer supported. Xrm.Pageobjects are required in CRM 2013.
• CRM 4.0 Custom Workflow Activities

• DOM Manipulations

The Legacy Feature Check Tool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=309565) can be used to dive deep into your CRM 2011 system and detect any of the legacy features listed above.

Another couple of tools to assist with your upgrades are:

• CRM 2011 Custom Code Validation Tool(http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2012/06/21/microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-custom-code-validation-tool-released.aspx) – the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Q4 2012 Service Update included significant changes. You can check these first if you haven’t already.
• CRM 2013 Custom Code Validation Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=30151) – when using JavaScript code in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, it is possible that some code will stop working or cause an error when you upgrade. This will help identify potential problems so that a developer can fix them.
