What’s happening?
Customers are experiencing difficulties when attempting to copy environments, specifically from a production environment to a target environment. Common issues include the target environment not appearing in the list during the copy operation and receiving messages indicating "No valid targets."
Reason:
The primary cause identified for the inability to copy environments is that the source environment has Virtual Network (VNet) enabled while the target environment does not. To perform a copy from a VNet-enabled environment, the target environment must be configured for the same VNet.
Resolution:
- VNet Configuration: Ensure that the target environment is configured to use the same VNet as the source environment before attempting the copy operation.
- Copy Options: If the goal is to avoid copying all data, consider the following options:
- Copy everything, which includes all data and customizations.
- Copy only the customizations and schema, followed by exporting and importing specific data based on requirements.
- Documentation Reference: For detailed steps on the copy operation, refer to the official documentation: Copy Environment.
