Change in PROD - Unmanaged layer?

Posted on by 7

Hello everyone

II have a few years of experience working as a system admin with Dynamics CRM but i've always worked in a way that I would export and import solutions from dev - Acc - Prod but now I am working at a company that uses CI/CD to manage the releases.

My question is:

If I notice a small problem that I would like to hotfix, for example a small change of a filter in a rollup field.

Is it possible to make this change in the solution in DEV but also make the change right away in Prod so we don't need to go through the whole release pipeline and the change can be in effect immediately ? 

Or does making that change in Prod create an unmanaged layer in Prod? and if so, how can i see that?

    Hi ErikNL,

    Yes, changes in Prod create an unmanaged layer in Prod.

    • Unmanaged layer. All imported unmanaged solutions and unmanaged customizations exist at this layer. The unmanaged layer is a single layer.

    The see solution layers feature allows you to view all component changes that occur due to solution changes over time.

    --Sign in to Power Apps, select Solutions, open the solution you want, select ... next to a component, and then select See solution layers.

    if there is a pipeline in place the change must be done in DEV

    applying a fix directly in PROD can be done (and I don't suggest to do it) only if the deployment is done using unmanaged solution and the change is exactly (and I repeat exactly) done in the same way as DEV
