Choosing which components to deploy from a solution

Posted on by Hapa1

When deploying a solution, is there a way to choose which components are deployed?

For example, I have 2 power automate flows in my dev environment in an unmanaged solution but only 1 is ready to be promoted. Is there any way to ensure that only the power automate flow is that ready to be deployed is promoted?

@Hapa1 that's correct and we don't use OOB pipelines - our devops engineers came up with our own pipelines.

Re: Choosing which components to deploy from a solution

We currently are using Power Platform Pipelines to export a managed solution from dev, import the managed solution into QA, then import the same managed solution into prod.

If I understand you correctly, you are exporting the dev solution as unmanaged, importing that unmanaged solution into QA. Then exporting that same solution as managed and importing it into prod. Can you confirm?

Re: Choosing which components to deploy from a solution

Hello,

Here is the approach that we use in one of our projects:

Instead of using Dev -> Prod we use Dev -> Build -> Prod

When something is ready to go upstream we're moving the corresponding component (in own solution) from Dev to Build and if it's a brand new component for "Build" add it to the solution we use to move from Build to Prod.

Then a solution that contains all the required components is exported from Build and imported to Prod.

Re: Choosing which components to deploy from a solution

Makes sense. Is there a set of tools, workflow, or solutioning strategy that you would recommend to address my scenario? E.g. using the PAC CLI and source controlling the solution with Azure DevOps?

I glanced at this doc from the Microsoft Power Platform Build Tools github and it at least seems to point me in the right direction https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/power-platform/blob/main/power-platform/alm/basics-alm.md#source-control-process-using-a-solution

Re: Choosing which components to deploy from a solution

Hello,

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. Solution segmenting is not something that is available in power platform at the moment.
