Exporting Unmanaged Solution: Business Process Error - Invalid business process.

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

I am exporting my unmanaged solution from a CRM Online Sandbox and receiving the following error. "Business Process Error - Invalid business process."  There are no technical details and no log available.  The solution contains custom entities, workflow, BPF, plugins, workflow, etc.  so I am having a difficult time pinpointing the issue.  Any help is appreciated!   TIA.

    I deleted the single BPF that was is a Draft (un-activated) status and was able to successfully able to export the solution.  Very odd.  

    Can anyone confirm that all BPF's in a solution must be activated in order to export?

    Jeff - I am seeing a similar error message. Did you ever confirm that the source was draft processes?

    Thanks

    Hey Guys,

    We are experiencing the same issue with our on-prem Dynamics 365 installation (v8.2.0.749) since we updated from CRM 2016 Upate 1.

    I've deactivated and removed all draft BPF from the solution we are trying to export and still face this issue.

    The error doesn't allow to download the log nor give any technical details on the error so were kind of in the dark.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Hello Jeff

    Based on your business process I would say yes, a CRM does sound like a good option in running your business more efficient. A CRM allows you to keep a record of your customers' details and any interaction so it makes everything well organized.

    You may also want to look at the option of getting a CTI solution like Tenfold which integrates your existing phone and CRM. They support MS Dynamics integration. Checkout these integrations at www.tenfold.com/.../dynamics

    We've had this issue and I believe the primary cause is that we use the "Save As" button in an existing BPF to create a backup prior to making changes.  When that's done in the solution, the backup BPF is created in a draft state and the corresponding BPF entity is not created.  So removing that component from the solution works to get the export functional, or activating the BPF and then deactivating if you want to keep it in the solution.

    I am experiencing the same issue. I have removed the business process flow that was in draft and I have one remaining (activated) but I still get the error. I deactivated it and reactivated it and I still get the same error.
