Importing solutions - Is there a way to check for errors before we import solution

Hello

As part of my job, I have to import solutions in MSD CRM.

Most of the time, the imports fail with error messages like "The schema name is not unique" or "Attribute description already exists" etc. Once I have failures it takes time for me to get the appropriate people involved in the process to fix the issues. Instead of finding out the errors while importing, is it possible to verify the solution that is being is correct without any issues?

Like if we can compare the customizations.xml file that has already been imported into CRM with the customizations.xml file that has to be imported can we find any missing entities or elements/relationships etc?

Is there a tool out there that can identify the problems/missing elements/duplicate tags/or what ever issues that might be in the customizations.xml file so that the deployments will smooth?

Thank You

Basam

Hi Basam,

There are no tools to identify all issues prior to import, but you will get a feel for potential issues as you get more experienced with deployments. Fixing the problems that arise is usually not too difficult, but it can be time consuming.

If you are receiving these errors on a regular basis then you should be concerned and look at ways to improve the deployment process.
