How to move a publisher and source (unmanaged) solution from one instance to another

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi,

Here is the scenario:

Instance A is a dev instance in which publisher A maintains and adds features to the unmanaged solution.

So far, publisher A has exported managed solution which is being used by other organizations - the most recent managed solution deployed is 2.1.0.0

For every release, publisher keeps a copy of both managed and unmanaged solution.

Before the next version of managed solution v 2.2.0.0 could be released, the instance A faces some issue and becomes unavailable.

Is it possible that the last unmanaged solution copy v 2.1.0.0 is imported into another dev instance B so that subsequent releases can be exported.

If yes,  will it be treated as a subsequent release of the same solution by the organizations that have the managed solution 2.1.0.0 in it (you can assume there may be a patch or entirely new major version which should upgrade the already installed version keeping the data in tact). What role does the publisher play in the dev instance B? Will it still be treated as the same solution even if the published on dev instance B is different. Do I need to create publisher with the same name on dev instance B.

Regards,

Yasir

    When you move solution from one instance to other all the information along with the publisher is moved to other Instance.

    After importing the unmanaged solution you can treat it as the same solution also you can use the same for subsequent release.

    I believe CRM is looking at both publisher and solution names when upgrading the solutions. If there is a solution with the same name that has a different publisher, it's probably going to be treated as a different solution. Although, I don't think there is a guid involved.. it's probably just a name.

    However, as Inogic mentioned, if you import that unmanaged solution into Instance B, you will get your original publisher there as well, so it should all work fine.
