CRM 2016 Sitemap SubArea Id with weird number suffix

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

I opened the sitemap which was export as an un-managed solution in the production (PROD) environment, and I found a couple subarea elements which have weird id with number suffix, example:

<SubArea Id="new_person_636106471761890767" Entity="new_person" />

But I don't find this in development (DEV) environment. I tried to fix this by exporting a managed solution from DEV, then open customization.xml file to make sure there are no weird number suffix before importing this to PROD

<SubArea Id="new_person" Entity="new_person" />

However, after I imported the managed solution from DEV, I got double entries:

<SubArea Id="new_person_636106471761890767" Entity="new_person" />

<SubArea Id="new_person" Entity="new_person" />

I know that CRM use "Merge" conflict resolution for UI component such as the SiteMap.... in this case since the 2 ids are different, therefore a merge is used

And here are my questions:

  1. Does CRM create the number suffix id when many managed solutions modify the same sitemap?
  2. How do I permanently remove the number suffix other than importing an un-managed solution?

Thanks,

Sam
