When I import an exported PowerApp to a new environment, all my data sources stop working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

I have created a zip package of my application and imported it into a new environment. When I open the imported app in the designer, all the data sources are in the state shown in the screenshot and the application won't access any data.

 

I have made sure to re-enter credentials to the connections in this environment.

 

What do I have to do to make these data sources work again?

    Hi @tomw,

     

    Check if you app depends on a connection:

    If an app depends on a connection (such as a SQL connection w/ credentials) we do not currently support exporting the connection or credentials as a part of the package.

    If you have an app that relies on a shared connection (like SQL), your only current option is to manually re-create that connection with the appropriate credentials in your target environment and select that connection when you import the package.

     

    Ability to re-configure the datasources for my app during import(for example switch from one SharePoint list or SQL database to another) This work is on the backlog and we are working to deliver this within the next 6 months.

     

    For your reference:
