How to query "Missing Required Components" through the SDK?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all,

Wondering if anybody can help me with this... we're performing automated deployments using a custom script and are often running into issues where required components are missing from the solution.

When a solution is exported manually in Dynamics 365 a dialog often pops up with "Missing Required Components" (see screenshot). Does anybody know how I can call this through the SDK? This would allow us to warn the developers that dependencies are missing and fix it so the automated deployments do not fail. I've been trying to write the code to do this myself using the RetrieveRequiredComponentsRequest, but it gets complicated with the many different types, some of which aren't solution components but belong to another (e.g. forms, views, fields etc. belong to an entity).

The code to perform this must already be written to produce the "Missing Required Components" view, so hopefully somebody knows how I can access it through the SDK.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

    I don't think this logic is available via the SDK. As far as I know the Dynamics 365 just calls RetrieveRequiredComponentsRequest , and in my view doesn't do anything particularly clever with components that belong to an entity (but then I don't think there's anything much more that can be done, as the subcomponents may or may not exist in the solution or destination

    Hi Andrew,

    Not sure if this help you but you could directly access the URL of missing components.

    Hope this helps.
