Posted on by winston_smyth

With power apps, its easy to create an app in a solution, develop it, test it and just move the solution and all components to the production environment when its ready.

Its does not appear possible to add a power pages site to a solution. This raises 2 questions:

Where does a power pages site reside within an environment?
How do we move a site from a development environment to a different production environment?

Hi @winston_smyth ,

You need to use a tool called the configuration migration tool to migrate the portal from one environment to another.

(This is just to move your portal configuration table permissions, roles, webpages etc.)Please reference the blog - https://vblogs.in/migrate-powerapps-portal-configuration/

If you have done any customization in Dataverse tables move the Dataverse solutions first to the target environment

Mark this post as solved if this resolved your issue.

Hi @winston_smyth ,
the method suggested by @ViditGholam works and is great. There is another tool in town called pac cli. You can find it on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/cli/introduction . There is a set of subcommands dealing with portals. they are named pac paportal. You create a connection to a system via pac auth create -u <url of dataverse> and then "pac paportal export -id <portalid> -p ." and then create a connection to the targetsystem and usse a "pac paportal upload -p ." (when you stay in the same folder 🙂 )
Via so called deployment profiles you can modify the behavior and make some things environment dependent.
This tool can also be authorized via an appid/appsecret and we use it in devops pipelines.
And, best of all: you cal also use the pac cli with pac data to transport data like @ViditGholam mentioned 🙂

Just an alternative idea, both ways works and have advantages/disadvantages.

Have fun,
Christian

Adding to this chat...
Is there a tool to move the Azure B2C Configuration (User Flows, Attributes, Claims, etc>)? The pac cli is great to move the stuff within Dataverse, but what about the Azure stuff?

Thanks
Monica
