Error when importing an unmanaged solution - Error: "Solution: XXX imported successfully with warnings. The original workflow definition has been deactivated and replaced."

I recently started getting this "warning" message when importing my solutions from dev to any other environment. We haven't changed our ALM process so I'm confused as to why we are now seeing this. To make it even more confusing, if you refresh the solutions page, it changes to the green "imported successfully" notification. The log file does not provide any helpful details that I was able to translate.

 

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on what might be happening?

Note: these are unmanaged flows. (Yes, I know we should be using managed, but we are in a cleanup phase and haven't gotten all solutions migrated over to the proper ALM practice).

I received final resolution on my open ticket with MS support. They concluded that this is simply a warning when existing workflows are being replaced and it will not cause any issues. See the screenshot attached.

Hi @CParsons09 

I guess that your solution contains a workflow. Do you also receive this warning message if that workflow doesn't exist in destination tenant?

I assume it's a warning message stating that current workflow is being replaced by a new one.

Hope that helps!

My team just started recently in the last week getting this message with the same cadence where it appears, but then after refresh changes to imported successfully.  Ours is with managed solutions.  Our concern is that one of our developers says it changed the flow id and hence the url of the flow.  That could have major implications depending on how you referenced things.  On a normal solution import the id's would not change.   Anyone with more info or knowledge on this error and its cause would be great. 

I would say my environments started experiencing this last week as well, so the timing related to yours is very interesting. 

I'm not sure what you mean by "workflow"? It contains both a desktop flow and a cloud flow, but that hasn't changed.

It is probably because you have a unmanaged layer,  which was created after imported as a managed solution. 

 

Remove the unmanaged layer this shall go away.

Unfortunately these solutions have been in the unmanaged state throughout all the environments, so I do not believe that is correct.

Update: I just noticed I receive the same warning message when importing a managed solution as well. We haven't changed our ALM practice since noticing these warnings so I'm still leaning towards this being a bug but curious if anyone else has resolved it yet.

I did notice this warning message recently too on fully managed solutions.. as others pointed it out, the warning changes to success after a refresh. I noticed in the import log that the progress was reported as 90% completion, so the log is generated before the import has finished.

 

Also, in the log a flow reported the issue, then a second later the same flow with the same id is present without any warning. Seconds later, the same flow, same id reports as workflow activation successful.

 

Not entirely sure why it sends a warning, but since it changes to success a few seconds after, I personally wouldn't worry much.

 

That said, since the new update 2022 release wave 2 came out I occasionally get an annoying notification every time I want to save and retest my flow that someone else had modified the flow (I know no-one did) so could easily be just another feature (bug) introduced by MS - the update focuses on tighter governance and managed environments Microsoft Power Platform 2022 release wave 2 plan overview | Microsoft Learn

One thing to check if you have seen this problem, is desktop flow upgrades. I just noticed this morning that my production environment is not upgrading to the latest changes I made in the dev environment. The weird thing is my test environment does have those changes. I'm going to open a ticket with MS to see if they can help troubleshoot further as I have a number of desktop flows and am not concerned that they haven't been updating in prod for some time now.

I opened a ticket with MS to investigate this further. Although it may not be a problem based on others comments, I feel it should still be looked at by MS.

If this helps anyone but it did occur in one of my solutions (managed) where if you go in and change/edit > save a workflow (which you can in a managed solution) will automatically create a new unmanaged layer. This unmanaged layer can be viewed for individual objects in your solution (e.g. a workflow by clicking the three dots > advanced > solution layers. Here you will see that you have an unmanaged layer which is currently "Active" and blocking your solution upgrade to this specific object. Easy fix, select the unmanaged layer and Delete it if you have know that the upgrade has that fix/update in there. 

 

Now your ALM from Dev > UAT > Prod will not pop-up with any message hopefully. Good luck!

@CParsons09 , what did you find out with the ticket you opened with Microsoft?

In our case, we get the warning and afterward, our flow is disabled (we have to reenable it) and all our connexions must be fixed, so it's not without issues.  Anyone has thev same symptoms ?

The flow ids changing is the exact issue I am trying to figure out.  Did you get to any workaround on this?  The flows all work ok for me, but I have links that people have bookmarked to get to the flow to use it.  As run only users, the flows don't show up for them automatically, they have to have a link.

Hi johngootee,

 

I have switched to deployment pipeline to transfer unmanaged solution to managed ones. I strongly recommend you drop manual export/import and convert to deployment pipelines.

The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.)   Subscribing to a Category  When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe.     You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save.     Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively.     Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe.     Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board.   Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area.   Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu.     From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format.     You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes.     A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
