Managed /Unmanged Solutions problems!

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

Our client has a fairly large CRM implementation.  The previous company that developed the system did all the changes to the Default Solution.  The problem is that we have also made changes to our dev environment of the same solution.

When we try to export the customizations from our environment as managed it tells us that we need to add the required components, so we did.  When importing the solution into their test environment CRM it installs, but then the solution cannot be uninstalled afterwards because it had required components.

This defeated our purpose of making  the solution managed because we cannot uninstall it anymore.  We are currently restoring their test environment because of the uninstall error that occured.

My question:  Should we export our changes/customizated as unmanaged instead of managed?

    As vijay, informed unmanaged solution for development org is fine but as per MS recommendation we would recommend you to have managed solution for production.

    As a standard, unmanaged solution is for development environment where you an export customization as managed or unmanaged. And for production environment mainly it’s managed solution.

    But you can install unmanaged solution on production environment if it is a SINGLE SOLUTION BASED ORGZNIZATION.

    Note : if you planning to install any managed solution on top of you customization then I would recommend you to have managed solution for production.

    Thanks,

    VIjay
