Could not register pre-delete validatation plugin step for the Team entity in MS Dynamics CRM 2011

I want to add validation before Team entity deletion. In order to do that, I need to add Pre-validation plugin step for the Delete message and Team entity.

Nevertheless, when I'm trying to do it via the Plugin Registration Tool, I'm getting an error:

Invalid Entity Name

Invalid Primary Entity or Secondary Entity specified. Please re-enter the data.

Here is the data I'm filling in the Register New Step:

  • Message: Delete
  • Primary Entity: team
  • Secondary Entity: none
  • Run in User's Context: Calling User
  • Execution Order: 1
  • Eventing Pipeline Stage of Execution: Pre-validation
  • Execution Mode: Synchronous
  • Deployment: Server

I'm using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.

I could not find any explanation for that. What I'm asking is:

  1. What is the reason for that?
  2. What is the intended way of applying custom validations during the deletion of the Team entity?

That's because Delete Message for Team Entity in CRM 2011 is not supported

Whereas when you look for CRM 2016 and above Team Entity does support delete Message

It is possible to enable registering the plug-in by updating the corresponding SdkMessageFilterBase record.

  1. Connect to your DB server.
  2. Navigate to your %ORGANIZATION_NAME%_MSCRM DB.
  3. Run the script:
  SELECT
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[PrimaryObjectTypeCode],
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[CustomizationLevel],
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[SecondaryObjectTypeCode],
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[IsCustomProcessingStepAllowed],
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[Availability],
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[SdkMessageId],
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[IsVisible]
  FROM
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase]
      INNER JOIN [dbo].[SdkMessageBase]
          ON [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[SdkMessageId] = [dbo].[SdkMessageBase].[SdkMessageId]
  WHERE
      [dbo].[SdkMessageBase].[Name] = 'Delete' AND
      [dbo].[SdkMessageFilterBase].[PrimaryObjectTypeCode] = 9 -- Team entity code is 9
  1. Check the result. If IsCustomProcessingStepAllowed field is set to 0, it is preventing you from registering the plug-in step.
  2. Update IsCustomProcessingStepAllowed to 1 to be able to register custom plug-in step.

This solution worked for me.
