errors when migrating site from dev to prod

I've tried both the recommended ways of preparing my target (production) environment: (1) switch target to enhanced data model, and (2) make a dummy site with same template then delete the website record, etc. I'm using Power Platform CLI to do the migration, since the site was built under the standard data model. Everything else the site touches has been migrated using a solution.

In both cases, CLI loads the manifest, but then the upload encounters a slew of errors, all of the type "XRM network error...entity adx_<name>...was not found in the MetadataCache". It still claims to have "created record(s) for table: adx_<name>.

But nothing shows up in the target environment as an Inactive Site.

Suggestions? thx

Can you use the PAC cli to download the portal locally and the upload to the prod instance?

The old datamodel entities will all have the adx_ prefix. The target and source must both be on enhanced or old model, not different

thanks @eugenevanstaden -- your diagnosis is correct: I downloaded an old-model site, and tried to upload it to a production environment that is configured for new model. I must have missed that caveat in the "migrate site" dox!

Yes, I was able to use PCA CLI successfully to download. It was the upload that failed, no matter what prep I did of the target environment.

thx
