How do I put production solution into Azure repo?

Posted on by 435

We did all of our initial development and deployed to our production instance before we created a repo for the solutions.  :(

worse, we modified some configuration elements of the production instance.

QUESTION: Is there a way to get what we have in the production instance into the Azure git repo?

or can I borrow someone's time machine and get a do-over?  LOL

    RE: How do I put production solution into Azure repo?

    Does anyone have an idea of how to get ALL components in one solution that can be exported for use in a Azure DevOps repo?  

    I have tried to do this by manually adding components to a solution but there are a lot of components (5000+ web resources alone).

    How do I get everything into the Repo so that I can start with powerapps changes for my first maintenance release?

    This is why I began asking about getting everything from Production into a repo so that I know I have the right starting point from which to make changes.  Am I missing something?

    We take or move solution, so all solution components will move. But few things which are not solution items have to move by some other way.

    Config is a general term in D365 / Model Driven App. If you create a entity that is also a config. You must be referring a non solution component. What particular you are trying to move ? For few things in XrmToolBox there are tools.

    [quote user="urklnme"]Can config changes be moved from one instance to another?  [/quote]

    Depends what you are moving. For few things there tools available in XrmToolBox. For few Power Shell script can be used last option is manual.

    So if you specify what you are moving we may able to help.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes.  I can take a solution to my Azure DevOps Repo.

    What I want, is to take EVERYTHING, all components to my Azure DevOps repo.    

    Also, a separate question...  Can config changes be moved from one instance to another?  Trying to maintain 3 or 4  instances separately, manually?   a recipe for problems.

    I have tools to move data.

    I have tools to move components.

    No tools to move configuration settings?

    You can take back up of your production instance (backup contains data and all configurations) and actually some backups are scheduled and taken automatically.

    Most of the configs are solution items but not every thing. If you are not clear what solution is here a link:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/alm/solution-concepts-alm

    Solution will be a zip file containing some Xml files. We can put solution in repo, again  it will be most of the configs and no data.

    Have you considered Azure DevOps, you can automate deployments from Dev to Prod. Please let us know if you have a further question or need assistance.
