dynamics crm 2011 - Importing solution when UAT and Live are not in sync crm2011 -

i utilize re-create of customer's uat environment dev. worked in solution on top of other solutions (add existing), however, come import live (staging), solution import errors. in uat, there 3rd party managed solution did not create customer’s live, found out. when importing live, first errors missing 3rd party managed solution, when seek import 3rd party managed solution, import errors on missing components; of reported missing components don't exist in uat solution meant have been installed, , of reported missing components exist in both environments, customised them in solution.

what options resolve?

hypothetically, importing 3rd party solution unmanaged instead of managed untangle it?

why managed in uat in first place? matter environment 3rd party managed solution created in first place?

i'm not sure of solution structure. cmiiw, understanding of question. you'd have:

in uat custom solution - unmanaged, 3rd party solution - managed

in live no solution @ all.

i have question, modify (form/fields/view) 3rd party's solution? , client using 3rd party solution?

this sentiment reply questions:

what options resolve?

if 3rd party solution not used: re-create solution on fresh crm deployment, not affect/be affected 3rd party solution

if 3rd party solution used: install 3rd party's managed solution first, import custom solution (preferably export "managed"

hypothetically, importing 3rd party solution unmanaged instead of managed untangle it? afaik, can't import 3rd party solution unmanaged unless give unmanaged solution. imho, experience crm 2011, seek not have more 1 unmanaged solution in 1 deployment. , point of using managed solution "released" version of solution. unless need scheme alter solution overtime, reckon it's improve maintain in managed solution.

why managed in uat in first place? matter environment 3rd party managed solution created in first place?

the reason in uat in first place, maybe can clarify client, using solution for. maybe need solution crm. afaik, doesn't matter environment 3rd party managed solution created in first place. that's "released" product.

cheers.
