Upgrade a managed solution in Prod / QA but the Dev solution now has a diferent name

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Hi, hope all of you are going well.


I have a managed Solution in Production, the name of the solution has a typo, because of a tilde / accent, so it doesn´t have that letter. The current solution in Development environment has not the tilde in the name. The names are as follows: Prod: NecesitoAsesora ; Dev: NecesitoAsesoria. The Display names are not a problem. Also, the main Power app in the solution is called as the solution, so it has the same problem.


When importing the Dev solution, as a managed solution in Prod (I tested it on QA), another solution is created with the correct name, and the old solution with the typo on the name is not upgraded. There are now two PowerApps also.
How should I go about this? Delete the current Prod solution and replace it with the new Dev solution that has the correct names? Or is there a way to upgrade the solution instead of deleting. It would be the best if the new Power App with the correct name can get the ID of the old one, because there is a link that connects the public with that application.
Every approach is worth it, I've been reading about some PowerShell commands to change the PowerApp name, this would work in Production where the solution is managed?


Thank you in advance.

    I did modify it, the problem is that I want to have the same power app ID in the Prod environment (because another power app has the link to this one, with the power app ID on it), but that would change if the logical name of the power app changes (that's what I think). Also, the solution name is different in Prod that in Dev (same typo)

    Hi @diegof59 ,

     

    We can upgrade the solution.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/update-solutions

    Could you modify the name of the app from the unmanaged solution that has the typo?

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft

     

    Indeed, they are different solutions, though only differ by a character in the name string. In each solution, the app is also different by the same means. The unmanaged solution that has the typo, which was exported and imported to production as managed, still exists on QA environment. I imported the Dev solution as managed in QA, and the power app it created has a DisplayName with a timestamp created at the moment of import. The Apps IDs differ.

    Hi @diegof59 ,

     

    From your description, it doesn't seem like they're the same solution and the same app.

    Let's say the solution in Prod is solutionA and the solution in Dev is solutionB.

    Where is unmanaged SolutionA stored? Has it been permanently deleted?

     

    Best Regards,
