Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Plugin Registration Tool return an error when stopping profiling?
Errors during this process often occur due to a version mismatch between the Plugin Registration Tool and your Dynamics 365 instance, expired authentication tokens, or insufficient user permissions to modify the plugin execution pipeline.
Where can I find the complete error details for the Plugin Registration Tool?
When the error dialog appears in the Plugin Registration Tool, there is usually a 'Show Details' or 'Copy' button. Clicking this will give you the full stack trace, which is crucial for troubleshooting on the Dynamics 365 Community forums.
Can I force-stop plugin profiling directly from the Dynamics 365 web interface?
No, plugin profiling creates specific debug steps in the execution pipeline that must generally be managed and removed through the Plugin Registration Tool to avoid leaving orphaned profile records in your CRM environment.
