-

         Usually if user writes a plug in , it's difficult to him to check the error log. Finally Microsoft has released new concept to know what is happening in the plug in MS CRM 2015 update 1 release.

How to do it:
  1. Log in to CRM instance.
  2. Go to Settings => System Setting =>Under Customization Tab => Select All or Exceptions.     
  • Off (default): feature turned off
  • Exceptions: the trace logs will be written to the CRM entities only if the developer returns the exception back to the user.
  • All: the trace logs will be written to the CRM entities whenever the plugin/workflow code is run, regardless of whether an exception is returned.
    •      
NOTE: Trace logs will only be written to the trace log entities if the plug-in developer uses tracing within the plug-in.

Write a plug in and along with Tracing object as below.

tracingService.Trace("setPrefixtoAccount(): Creating the Account record with prefix xyz_ started.");

if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {

                // Obtain the target entity from the input parmameters.
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                entity.Attributes["name"] = "xyz_" + entity.Attributes["name"].ToString();
            }
            tracingService.Trace("setPrefixtoAccount(): Creating the Account record with prefix xyz_ completed");


      Now Register the plug in as below.



Now go to CRM
   Settings => Plug in Trace Log as below.
