Posted on by Microsoft Employee

There are two servers A and B. if a solution id exported from A as Managed and imported in B. This solution has an option set with default value of 10 in account entity. After import in B, the default value has changed to 30. If the default value is changed to 50 in machine A, will it get import in B or not? If it imports, what will be the default value in option set ? I was asked in interview..could any one help me in understanding ??

    Hi KSRU,

    Yes the solution will get imported in server B without any conflicts.

    With the new solution improvements in dynamics CRM user has an option whether he wants to override the behavior of the existing components or not.

    Suppose in your case if you wish to change the default value as per the changes incorporated in the new solution then you can select the Overwrite customizations option else if you wish not to change the default value for the option set then you can select the Maintain customizations option as shown below:

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks
    Sam

    Hi KSRU,

    if a solution id exported from A as Managed and imported in B. This solution has an option set with default value of 10 in account entity. After import in B, the default value has changed to 30. If the default value is changed to 50 in machine A, will it get import in B or not?

    --> Yes you will able to import solution to B

    option set value is depend on what option you are selecting when importing managed solution,

    1. Maintain Customization 

    Selecting this option will maintain any unmanaged customizations performed on components but also implies that some of the updates included in this solution will not take effect.

    -- With this option, changed value in B will be stays same, and new item will be added in option set. 

     

    2. Overwrite Customizations 

    Selecting this option will overwrite any unmanaged customizations previously performed on components included in this solution. All updates included in this solution will take effect.

    -- With this option, changed value in B will be overwritten with A

    please check for more details of managed solution
