How to change the default ExecuteMultipleRequest batch size limit in CRM 2011 on premise?

Question

I encountered many errors like below in CRM 2011. I know there's a way to override the default value 1000. But how to?

Error in workflow: ExecuteMultiple Request batch size exceeds the maximum batch size allowed!

Answer 1

You can change the setting via PoweShell using UpdateAdvancedSettingsRequest - examples see MSDN.

Further details about settings can be found here and here.

Answer 2

For CRM On Premise, you could execute the following SQL Command directly at the MSCRM_CONFIG database (at your own risk):

update deploymentproperties set IntColumn = *"your value here"* where columnname = 'ExecuteMultipleMaxBatchSize'

It takes a while for the changes to be applied. Alternatively, you can restart the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services
