Exporting Solution From Sandbox Environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by opticshrew 145

Hi folks,

I'm trying to export a solution from my sandbox environment however I have getting the below error:

Failed to export Business Process definition because solution does not include corresponding Business Process entity. If this is a newly created Business Process in Draft state, activate it once to generate the Business Process entity and include it in the solution.

It looks as though all of our BPFs have been activated and that there are none in draft, I've tried the below:

  • Checked all BPF for errors
  • Removed all BPF that are in draft
  • Added any reliant BPF entities
  • Re-activated already active BPF
  • Checked any forms I’ve created for BPF (aren’t any)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

J

    Hi,

    I tried removing the entity however I experienced the same issue. Fortunately I took a backup prior to the change so I just re-imported that solution. All is good now.

    When re-creating the "problem" entity I no longer experienced the issue.

    Thanks,

    J

    Hi ,

    I would recommend remove the complete entity from your solution and add again the entity , make sure you choose "add all asset" and check "metadata" option in the window when its popup to choose the items for entity.

    Published all customization and export it .

    Hope this helps.
