Identify who imported the solution – Dynamics 365 CRM

Introduction:

Sometime there is a need to know when and who imported the solution in to CRM. This will be done by XrmToolBox plugin called “Solution History”.

Purpose of Solution History:

The purpose of the tool is to view a historical list of solutions that have been imported. This provides sort of audit functionality for solutions, as the OOB solution view doesn’t really display how many times a solution has been imported, version number that was updated, error/warning messages that were encountered during solution import.

Steps:

1. Install Solution History plugin from Plugin Store in XrmToolBox.
2. Open the plugin and connect to the environment.
3. Select the time frame for the solution.
4. The solutions will be displayed as below. Select the solution for which you want to check the details.
5. Click on Load Solution History. The details will be shown as highlighted below.

Other methods of knowing this are listed below:

1) Looking in to the database

2) Checking XML

Hope this helps!!
