Import of managed solution (components missing)

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Abbas Khan 255

I always imported solution as Unmanaged however for same environment we need to import Managed solution this time. This managed solution has some entities which are already on production environment.

If I try to export solution as Unmanaged it works perfect and can go into production however if I try to export a solution as Managed and then try to import into production environment I am getting error of missing components 

The import of the solution ABCD failed. The following components are missing in your system and are not included in the solution. Import the managed solutions that contain these components (Active) and then try importing this solution again.


Any idea what I need to do? I cant include all missing components as they are already on prod environment.

Appreciate any help.

    Right Answer: Import the solution with the same publisher of the managed solution existing in the target System

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Hope the publisher of current managed solution is different from the existing managed solutions in the target environment. When you import managed solution, the system will check for the missing components only in the same publisher's managed solution(product limitation?).  If the first managed solution is imported with publisher 'xyz' then try the same for the second managed solution as well.

    Hi Abbas,

     I don't know if that's the same problem (but, it seems, the author there was not sure either:)) ).. It's just that the error message looks similar:

    Thanks Andrii however I dont get this error if I try to import same solution as Unmanaged and then import it.

    I can't understand why it is only complaining about Managed. Just to clarify all missing components already exist on prod and error is not just about 5-10, its complaining about 100 missing components :(

    Hello,

    I believe you get list of missing components along with report. What you have to do is to open your dev environment and include missing components to your solution before you export it.
