This article applies to CRM OnPremise.

After upgrading from CRM 2013 to CRM 2015, I was promptly greeted by the error message shown below.

getServerUrl

The solution is to replace getServerUrl with getClientUrl in the JavaScript files.

The real question is “How do you know which JavaScript files to edit”.
My solution was to create a console application that would search CRM for JavaScript files containing getServerUrl.

  • Create a new Console Application project in Visual studio and call it CRMUpgrade as shown above.

  • Right click on your project in solution explorer and select Add New item.

Click Finish. you are now ready to write some code.

Open the Program.cs file and add the following methods

  1.    private static void StartLoop()
  2.     {
  3.         Console.WriteLine("Press 1 to search for javascript files containing specific text.");
  4.         Console.WriteLine("Press any other key to Exit!!!");
  5.  
  6.         ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey();
  7.         string action = key.Key.ToString();
  8.  
  9.         if (action == "NumPad1" || action == "D1")
  10.         {
  11.             Console.WriteLine();
  12.             Console.WriteLine("Enter text to search for in javascript and Html files and press enter");
  13.             string searchString = Console.ReadLine();
  14.             PerformSearch(searchString);
  15.  
  16.         }
  17.  
  18.     }
  19.  
  20.     private static void PerformSearch(string searchString)
  21.     {
  22.         //Crm_MSCRMEntities =
  23.         Crm_MSCRMEntities ctx = new Crm_MSCRMEntities();
  24.         string decryptedConted = string.Empty;
  25.         //string searchString = "OrganizationData.svc";
  26.         Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Searching for {0}", searchString.ToLower()));
  27.  
  28.         foreach (var item in ctx.WebResources)
  29.         {
  30.             decryptedConted = GetContent(item.Content);
  31.             if (decryptedConted.ToLower().Contains(searchString.ToLower()))
  32.             {
  33.                 Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Resource {0} contains {1}", item.Name, searchString.ToLower()));
  34.  
  35.             }
  36.         }
  37.  
  38.         Console.WriteLine("Completed");
  39.         Console.WriteLine();
  40.         StartLoop();
  41.     }
  42.  
  43.     public static string GetContent(string encryptedContent)
  44.     {
  45.         if (encryptedContent == null)
  46.         {
  47.             return string.Empty;
  48.         }
  49.         byte[] binaryData = System.Convert.FromBase64String(encryptedContent);
  50.         string unencryptedContent = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(binaryData);
  51.         return unencryptedContent;
  52.     }
  53. }

Next step is to call StartLoop from the Main method.
