What data is lost on deleting managed solution

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by PS10 428

Hi, 

Please help me understand what data is lost on deleting a managed solution, is it the entire data for the entity that was a part of the managed solution?

For example:

Entity A in Production has 10 records.

A managed Patch A1 was installed in prod with few changes in Entity A, after which 5 more records were created for Entity A

Now when i uninstall the managed patch A1, will it delete all 15 records or just 5 records?

If all 15 records will be removed. is there a way to save 10 records prior to patch installation?

Thanks,

PS

    Thanks for explaining Goutam, however i was wondering if is this the best practice to roll over any changes done in a patch.

    A solution can contain Entity and fields which basically holds the data. So if you uninstall managed solutions means you are basically deleting the managed solution fields and entities from the environment. So in that you can not find any data in the environment for those entity and field. Please note this is applicable for single solution and the entity which only available in that particular managed solution.

    In case of deleting  managed patch, let's suppose  you added new entity or may be you added only fields on an existing enitity which may exists in another managed or default solutions or any other component added in the patch . In this scenario you will be completely lost the data for the new entity , however for the existing entity data will be there but field which you added newly  in the patch will be lost.

    In addition the component like views , forms , web resource which you created for that solution everything will be deleted.

    Hi,

    Lets say managed Patch A1 introduces a new field to Entity A from.  Then when managed Patch A1 is deleted, all data related with field introduced by it will be lost. 

    So , if 5 records were created after managed Patch A1, when deleting managed Patch A1 these records will lose that field and associated information. 

    Thanks
