Has anyone been successful in copying an LCS environment to a Unified Developer environment? I have been working with Microsoft support and they are unable to get this process working. We are trying to get up to date F&O data into our UDE for development testing. Any success, thoughts, ideas, etc.
Yes, we’ve worked on something similar recently for an electrical distributor, helping them get up-to-date F&O data into their dev environment for testing.
Happy to share what worked for us. If you’re open to it, we can jump on a quick call. And of course, if you’re considering any external support on this, we can help there as well.
The process is described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/unified-experience/tutorial-copy-lifecycle-services-environment-unified-environment?tabs=PPAC&WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5000414.
But we can’t give you a solution for the problem you didn’t describe, and I suspect couldn’t do much if even Microsoft support staff is struggling with it.
What you could try, though, is document it in the Insider forum too, where you may be able to reach people from the actual product team, instead of just going through support.
Has this been sorted? If not, can you please share the steps that you have followed?
@MartinDrab I have tried these instructions several times. Each results in a failed status. The target environment is them placed in a failed status. If I try and revert it errors out stating that the environment is marked as softDelete. If I try a restore I get the same result. I have had zero success in copying an LCS environment to a UDE.
