Dual-Write : Moving existing environment to new environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 903

Hi guys,

In cloud hosted environment Tier-1 of F&O which already has a Dual-Write setup, is it possible to create a new CHE which then have a new Power Platform environment as well, then make a duplication of the existing ?

Same thing like when we want to have a DEV to TEST environment. So for example : I have DEV01 environment setup and connected to POWERAPPSDEV environment. Now I am creating a new environment TEST01 and plan to create POWERAPPSTEST environment then import our PowerApps's Solution over there. But curious about whether the Dual-Write connection will be a problem later, especially if I'm not done it in the correct order.

What would be the correct procedure ?

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Tony,

    I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. If your question is if you can have one F&O environment linked to multiple Power Platform environments, then the answer is: "No".

    For each F&O instance, you can have only one Power Platform configuration linked.

    H Andre,

    Power Platform environment will be different as well. So it is really like DEV to TEST kind of style for both F&O and Power Platform, no cross connection. F&O DEV still connected to Power Apps env special for Dev and F&O TEST will be connect to Power Apps env for Test.

    It's just I need to create first this Test environment and not sure what is the correct order and steps to do it. Like mentioned, I have deployed new F&O Test from LCS with the new PowerApps Test (from LCS wizard), but obviously both is blank now. Need to duplicate from DEV.

    I only found this, btw -> Dual-write FAQ - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Docs

    But it is only talking about moving with the target environment (in my case is TEST ) which already have Dual-write connected to its F&O, so it's not a new one. And basically not clear of what's steps need to be done.

    Thanks,

    If I understand you correctly you have tier1 env where DW is enabled and you want to have another CHE where you want to have the same set up. As a part of power platform integration  during new environment deployment environments gets linked in LCS. You just have to run wizard to link your F&O environment to dataverse environment for dual write. After that you can enable your maps as you have done in your other tier 1 instance.

    If you want data similar to your first environment don't link new F&O environment through wizard. First complete a data restore from another environment and follow steps given in below docs article and then link it using wizard. after that you can perform initial sync and run the maps as required.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../relink-environments

    You can have multiple environment which have 1:1 relation /linked with each other with power platform integration.

    for example -

    Dev(FO)< -> Dev (Dataverse)

    Test(FO)< -> TEST(Dataverse)

    As I said earlier , if you are deploying these environments as new, DW core solution is installed for you and other packages you have to install as per your requirement. As of December 2021, everything was getting  installed as a part of environment deployment.

    You can import your custom solutions  and proceed with DW linking from F&O wizard and enable your maps.

    However, scenario get tricky when you have existing dataverse environment and deploying new F&O environments which you want to connect to existing Dataverse environment.
