Question

Your team maintains two managed solutions: 'CoreEntities' (contains custom tables and choice columns) and 'SalesApp' (contains a model-driven app and business rules that reference the CoreEntities tables). A junior developer attempts to import only the 'SalesApp' managed solution into a fresh production environment, and the import fails with a missing dependency error. What is the most appropriate way to resolve this while following ALM best practices?

Accepted Answer

Import the 'CoreEntities' managed solution into the production environment first, then import 'SalesApp'.

Answer

Merge both solutions into a single unmanaged solution and import that into production.

Answer

Export 'SalesApp' as an unmanaged solution so the missing components are included automatically.

Answer

Remove the business rules from 'SalesApp' so it no longer has a dependency on 'CoreEntities'.
