Solution Import deactivate all workflows and business rules

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RomainH 40

Hello,

When I import a solution in my PROD instances, all my workflows and business rules are deactivated after import.

We have two Dynamics instances: PROD and DEV.
All my settings are first done in DEV, then I export the solution to be able to import it into PROD.

Some facts:
- no problem to activate them in DEV nor in PROD (after import)
- workflow and business rules are activated in DEV
- workflow and business rules are all activated in PROD before import
- new workflows and business rules are disabled on import
- the workflow and business rules already existing in PROD are deactivated following the import (even if I have not made any modification to them)
- I don't have a custom plugin.

So I have to activate them by hand for each new import ...

Power Automate flows are not affected (unless they include a connection other than CDS, which is normal for the moment).

Do you have any ideas ?

Thank you in advance

    Hello,

    Could you please share a sample of your solution's import logs ?

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    Where can I find these logs?

    Is it at the end of the import in the import window of the solution?

    Yes, you can download your logs when the solution is imported. Alternatively, you can also download the logs with a tool:

    It seems that there was an installation of another solution at the same time. 

    Logs: "The solution installation or removal failed due to the installation or removal of another solution at the same time. Please try again later."

    Bonne soirée =)

    I didn't start another solution installation at the same time...

    In the tool Solution History, I have this message for the components "Publishworkflow"

    "Cannot start the requested operation [WorkflowSetState] because there is another [RibbonMetadataGeneration] running at this moment. Use Solution History for more details. -- The solution installation or removal failed due to the installation or removal of another solution at the same time. Please try again later."

    What is RibbonMetadataGeneration ?

    It would be very strange if another solution was instal at the same time the last 4 or 5 times I import my solution...

    Hello,

    I let another person answer. I can't find a logical explanation.

    Yes, thank you for your intervention.

    Now we have to understand this message : "Cannot start the requested operation [WorkflowSetState] because there is another [RibbonMetadataGeneration] running at this moment. Use Solution History for more details. -- The solution installation or removal failed due to the installation or removal of another solution at the same time. Please try again later."

    Someone to help ? :-)
