Welcome to my old Blogspot blog! You can read this post on our new website: Read this post on our new website 

Let’s suppose we need to deploy our adxstudio "Community Portal" wbsite from Dev environment to our production environment.

You should have already installed Adxstudio Studio portal on the Production CRM org with "Community Poral" Website from Website Gallery, and hosted the source code. In short you should have Configured the "Community Portal" website in the Production enviroenment.


Let we have been done lot of changes in Dev CRM org by adding “Web Pages”, “Web forms”, “Content Snippets”, “Page Templates” etc. And let also we have changes in our Dev Website source code. Now we want deploy all these updates/changes for “Community Portal” website from Dev to Prod we need following steps/things:
  1. Copy website from Dev CRM org to Prod CRM org, here we need to migrate the website record with all the related entities records used for website building e.g. “Web Pages”, “Web forms”, “Content Snippets”, “Page Templates” etc.
    For this migration we have to use the WebsiteCopy.exe utility found in the utility folder in the extracted Adxstudio files “C:\Program Files (x86)\Adxstudio\XrmPortals\7.0.0021\Utilities”.
    Exporting Adxstudio Portal website to a backup XML file
    Importing Adxstudio Portal website from a backup XML file
  2. If we have changes in our source code for the Dev website then also we need to move source code from Dev website hosting folder to Prod website hosting folder.
    Copy and paste the source code from the hosting folder of Dev to hosting folder of Prod website, Only we will not copy  settings.xml App_Data/settings.xml, this contains the CRM connection information.
