Issue:

We have recently moved some Orgs from CRM version 8.x to 9.x, and audit history of some intakes shows data as just these container icons

Resolution:

It appears that the upgrading process somehow has generated the Audit Change ([Action] = 102) at Case Entity Level (ObjectTypeCode 112) as Disabled Events (ChangeData = True). Therefore, the recommended action would be:

  1. Make a full backup of the DB prior to any changes!
  2. Run this TSQL command against the DB
    USE DatabaseName_MSCRM -- fill in the correct database name here
    GO
    DELETE FROM [dbo].[AuditBase]
    WHERE
    Action = 102 AND -- Audit Change at Entity Level
    ChangeData = 'True' AND -- For Disabled Events
    (ObjectTypeCode = 112 OR ObjectTypeCode = 2) -- Case OR Contact Entity Object Type Codes
    Sample Output:
  3. Refresh the case records via the CRM UI to verify that new values have been generated in the Audit History query.
