Use Power Platform Pipelines with Power Pages

[@613fredp]

Great video - MS should include the ability to run tests to see if they pass before moving the site - also source control is key - this is ok if you are deploying a simple site but a robust enterprise portal with a dev team requires a true ALM process / source control before the site gets pushed up downstream

[@powerplatformboost]

Yeah, the ability to run site checker would be great. I know development on pipelines is an ongoing process, so hopefully "true" source control will be incorporated someday.

Hey Nick, I can't thank you enough for your work on series of power pages videos. Please continue making power pages frequently. Can you make a video on how to integrate Power apps into Power pages which uses sharepoint as datasource & how to configure permission set for that power apps.

[@powerplatformboost]

Couple of things to unpack: Check out how to use virtual tables in Power Pages as this is one way to use SharePoint as a datasource: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXaYnGiYjZ6bZ5I

For the Power Apps question: Do you mean accessing the same data from Power Apps? Power Pages uses Dataverse, so building a model-driven Power Apps on the same Dataverse gives you access to that same data. There is a lot of info in MS Learn on setting up Dataverse security. If you want to use canvas apps, same thing, use the Dataverse connector. If you want to embed a canvas app in a Power Pages site, check out my blog post from a while back: readyxrm.blog/2019/11/26/embedding-a-canvas-app-in-a-power-apps-portal/

@@powerplatformboost Thank you so much, my doubt is cleared now.

Very Nice Thanks a lot for this video Nick What if my target environment is in a different tenant Usually we develop in our development tenant and then use solutions to export and import in the target environment in our client's tenant Can the Power Platform Pipeline help in my case?

[@powerplatformboost]

Unfortunately, pipelines are contained to a single tenant. So you would need to use another method for cross-tenant solution management.

Hey Nick! Great explanation again. Definitely gonna use this. What would you recommend if you only have a PROD environment (unmanaged) and want to migrate to a DTAP ALM scenario like this with Power Platform Pipelines?

[@powerplatformboost]

Wow, I would try to replicate your prod site to a dev instance, and then redeploy prod as managed. (with backups every step of the way). However, make sure you have good reasons for doing so (deploying changes, updates, in a "heathy way"). I tend to get a bit nervous messing with a prod system if everything is working. :)

[@AlysonVeras]

Hello nick, do you have any tutorial about power pages and azure devops pipelines? thanks for your videos :)

[@powerplatformboost]

Not yet, but I like the suggestion!

[@v200901]

can we do incremental deployment using this?

[@powerplatformboost]

Yeah, you would update your site, add the updates to the solution, and then deploy. A bit manual, but doable.
