Failed to import a solution with dataflow in another environment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36
Hi,
 
I have developed a dataflow and put it into a solution (for testing, I only put this dataflow into a solution) in environment A.  When I export it and import it into another environment B, a error message "Solution "TestSoln1" failed to import: An item with the same key has already been added." is given out.
 
This dataflow, I am reading a csv file from a filesystem, transform it and load data into dataverse tables. the target dataverse tables are already in the environment B, I only want to deploy the dataflow into this environment.  Any Clue?  
 
thanks
Kinson

    Hello,
    do you try to export/import a managed or unmanaged solution?
     
    I think it is an unmanged solution, as otherwise trying to import the solution should give you the option to update the exiting solution.
     
    I think the easiest way (maybe not the nicest) would be:
    In the environment you try to export from create a new solution an add only the flow.
    Than export the solution and import it in the new environment.
    Once in the environment you can add it to the solution you want.

    Hi,
     
    I have solved the problem by elimination.  Finally, I found out that the problem was caused by the dataflow. 
     
    To solve the problem, I recreated both the dataflow and dataverse tables.  In the dataverse, I define a Keys.  In dataverse, I create a new one and copy all steps into the new one, then publish and export the solution.  IT can then import to new environment successfully. Hope this can help others who has similar problem.
