Recover Ribbon customization from managed solution

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

We are currently having couple of custom ribbon buttons on case entity contained in managed solution for the production environment. W have lost those customization's from the development environment but not from production environment and we wanted to have them back in development environment. We are having difficult time retrieving the ribbon customization's from production to the development.

We tried moving the ribbon customization's via new unmanaged solution from prod to dev environment, created an unmanaged solution and tried including the entity but as the entity is of type managed we are unable to include that to the unmanaged solution from the production environment.

Any suggestions on how to retrieve the ribbon customization's from the managed solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    There could be a quick hacks, Did you try to export ribbon buttons customization using ExportRibbonXml utility ?? you can get this utility from SDK sample code it's a console application which can connect to your environment and can generate ribbon xml for entities, you can get case and use the same for your dev environment, (export solution from dev having case entity, unzip, open customization and put ribbondiff from the file generated from the production).

    Another option could be the import ribbon editor to production and get complete ribbendiff from case entity and use the same on dev.

    Hope it will help.
