Using solutions accross tenants - best practice?

Help Orchestrator
1

Hello
We have three tenants on orchestrator
DEV TEST & PROD

  • Ususally we create projets folders manually on the orchestrator, publish and add the package into the said folder
  • we create the solution on the dev tenant only when its time to move to uat
  • we then deploy the folder solution to next tenant etc

I was wondering if it was best practice to create solution on dev tenant as well instead of creating the folder manually ? what is the best practice?

Hello @adext01,

Using the solutions management is best approach for deployments.

Thanks,

@adext01 In general, yes — it is better to use the same deployment approach in DEV, TEST, and PROD, instead of manually creating folders in one place and using solutions later in another.

If DEV is set up manually but TEST/PROD are set up through solutions, then your environments are not truly aligned. That can lead to small differences in:

  • folder structure

  • permissions

  • assets/connections

  • package placement

  • deployment behavior

Because of that, the safer practice is usually-

Create and manage the solution from DEV itself, then promote the same structure to TEST/UAT and PROD.

Please let me know if it works
