Deleting Managed Solution from Production environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Barnabas Bujdoso 5

Hello All,

I am currently facing the following issue : 

I have a solution A , that contains a lot of objects, and is being deployed through an azure pipeline, but because of the size of this solution the pipeline times out. 

Now I have splitted the main A solution into smaller pieces : B, C , D , E , F. 

I deployed all my smaller solution to production ( all components and objects inside solution A has been put into one of the smaller ones ) , however, I am still unable to delete solution A from production. 

I tested this with smaller solutions, when this aproach worked, so I am a little disappointed it didnt this time.  The deletion shows dependencies to objects, which are in another solution, which can also be seen in if I check the layers on the objects. 

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. 

Thanks !

    Hello All, 

    I managed to figure out what the problem was : 

    When you put in the Entities to the splitted B,C,D,E,F solutions, you need to tick all objects, and all metadata. After this, the solution can be deleted. 

    Thanks to all, gonna close this.

    Hello Mohamed,

    I do not wish to delete the components from the splitted solutions, I only wish to delete solution A itself, with it's components distributed into the smaller ones staying on the production environment. It is for release and handling purposes.

    But thanks for your reply anyway !

    Hello Pradeep,

    Unfortunately, I already increased the timeout to 2 hours, and it is still failing. We do not want to increase the timeout further, as we want faster release.

    Thanks for the reply anyway !

    Hi Barnabas, 

    You can merge all solutions (A,B, C, D, E and F) in one solution (G) (Unmanaged solution) and then you cand delete all your managed solutions. 

    To merge solutions you can use the XRM toolbox "Component mover tool"

    Hope that's helpful for you

    Hello Naveen,

    I do not wish to delete the solution components, just the solution itself, that is why it is divided into smaller pieces. Deleting all managed solutions from production environment would lead to data loss.

    Hello Barnabas,

    In order to delete solution A, you need to delete the smaller solution first i.e. B, C , D , E , F then try deleting solution A.

    Once all the solutions are deleted, you can reinitiate the deployment process from  AzurePipeline with smaller pieces.

    Hi,

    Based on below link it seems that you can increase the timeout values of azurepipelines:
