Great job!!

Yet another detailed delivery. Next request: How to resolve connections in cases where I have for example a flow that connects to Outlook, Sharepoint, 1Drive etc. Seems to be that only the connection references get exported but connections don't, which then defaults to switch off flows.

I’m glad you like, thanks for the support. I will be doing one on that topic soon

Hi, Thanks for this video. It's very helpful for first implementation. Can you please share where i can find the script code of Command Line Script step?

[@alexisparedesc]

Hello! great video. It helped me a lot! If I have environment variables in my solution, is it possible that these can be configured from DevOps? or after executing the release should I manually update the environment variables of my solution?

[@Tiyani365]

Hi Alexis, when you're deploying through Azure Pipelines, you don't have to hassle with tweaking environment variables directly on the target Power Platform environment afterward. You can streamline everything using a deployment settings file. This file makes automated deployment a breeze and prevents those pesky connection issues that might otherwise crop up and force you to manually activate flows post-deployment. That's definitely not what you want when you're trying to keep things smooth with DevOps.

Really Nice Video! Good work Tiyani. One query please .. How to change Owners of Apps /Flows in target environment and how to provide user to change the Environment variable and other parameters when running in target environment.

[@Tiyani365]

when deploying using azure pipeline theres no need to manually interact with the deployment process, you can use a deployment settings file to make your automated deployment easy and for flows avoid using connections that will cause issues and need you to manually turn on the flows after deployment which is not desirable when using devops. I suggest you use connection references for your flows and specify their guids in the deployment file, the same goes for environment variables values per environment. Hope this helps.

Hello :) thank you for this content.I have two questions, and I’m hoping you might be able to assist. First, I noticed a new security role called "Deployment Pipeline Default" when I was trying to add roles. I haven’t seen any mention of this in the documentation. Does anyone know more about it or could provide some guidance? Secondly, regarding solution artifacts, I’m curious about the zip file-is it stored permanently, or will it be deleted at some point? Thanks in advance for any insights you can offer!

Another amazing video, thanks Tiyani

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kiranbchitari]

I am getting this error in the Power Platform Export Solution step, "The reason given was: The given solution unique name is not valid". Do you have any idea about this...

[@Tiyani365]

Hi @kiranbchitari the is the variable we created, think you might have missed that part in the video. Please make sure you create one for your pipeline with the name of your solution

[@vinayakpanicker7915]

Hi is this possible to do with Gitlab? The entire pipeline for power platform

[@Tiyani365]

certainly you can use GitLab, though it is more involved than when using azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
