Hello Everyone,
Today i am going to share my thoughts on Segmented Solution.
Lets gets started.
Segmented Solution: Solution Segmentation is when you add the required components to your development unmanaged solution is known as Segmented solution.
Lets see this in action.
Sceanario: Suppose you want to add an entity “account” to your solution.
Now you click on the entity and all the entities will be displayed.
Choose “account” and click ok.
Now choose the form you want to add and click finish.
1. Include entity metadata: if you check this box, it will include only metadata related to the entity not the forms, views and related entities. Metadata includes entity properties, like auditing. duplicate detection
and change tracking.
2. Add all assets: It will include all the components related to the entity selected.
Now you can select the field required to add to your solution.
Now add all assets for the case entity(table)
Once you clicked on the finish another pop will appear
There are two options
1. Yes, include requried components:what that mean is the solution you are going to import into target environment dont have this entity components, so you can check the box to include.
2. No, do not include required components: If the entity you have included in this solution is already available in the target and its related components already exists, so you can check the box, not to include into the solution.
Now you can include the contact into your solution and add then field “anniversary” field.
So your segmented solution created contains three entities “accounts, case, contact” and each entity have only components that were chosen.
Limitations of segmented solution:
1.Solution size is limited to 32 MB
2. Number of solutions is limited by Microsoft Dataverse capacity
3. Number of objects in a solution is limited by Dataverse capacity
I hope this helps
