in CRM 2013, since we have managed and unmanaged solutions , what is best approach for moving the custom solution into production from test server??
I mean is it preferable to put Custom Solution from Test/dev to production in Managed format?? since it will be managed we can easily delete the
solution and can recover previous state. but issue is we can not modify some of production related parameters into prod for custom solution web
resources.because the solution is managed.
or
is it preferable to pu Custom solution from Test/dev to
production in UnManaged format?? since it will be unmanaged we can easily update production related parameters into prod for custom solution
web resources. but the issue is since it is unmanaged, if something goes wrong, we can not go to previous state and we can no undo or delete the solution.
may be i am missing something here, but can any one guide on this how you approach moving custom solution into production??
Did any one have any thing to share on this topic?? I believe in CRMUG Summit this year, most of the recommendation from MVPs are to stay with Unmanaged approach if you don't deliver the Solution outside the corporate. I mean if you are not ISV(Independent
software vendor), then within corporate, it is good idea to export/import the Unmanaged solution from different environment even in production.
