I have a number of CRM 2011 plugins that are doing a bunch of tasks, updating records, searching and pulling down data, etc.…
What started happening is that if and when I update and re-deploy these plugins, they are not actually working until after a reboot is performed on the CRM server.
This was not the behavior when I created my first batch of two or three plugins, but now I have about 10 and this is the strange phenomena I am encountering and its making things a bit inconvenient because I have to do a server reboot after every change to test the change.
I already tried clearing the internet browser’s cache and cookies and after deployment of the modified plugin, I re-published the solution 5x in rapid succession just to try and make the changes “stick” so I don’t have to reboot, but that doesn’t work.
The only thing that fixes it is a reboot. I also have a feeling I could get around the reboot if I restarted all the CRM related services, but that is no different than a reboot where I am concerned. This only started happening once I developed and implemented ~ 10 plugins. Prior to that this didn't happen.
Is this expected behavior? Has anyone seen this before or know what the problem is?
