New-AzWebApp : Long running operation failed with status 'InternalServerError'

Question

While trying to Azure App Service App Cloning Using PowerShell , I am getting the below error:

I want to copy an existing webapp to another app plan. I have collected the command from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-app-cloning

Here is my script,

$srcapp = Get-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName abcd -Name Testapp1

$destapp = New-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName abcd -Name Testapp2 -Location "West Europe" -AppServicePlan appplan-1 -SourceWebApp $srcapp

Answer 1

Thanks for reaching here! Could you please confirm that your webappname Testapp2 is not already created?

As mentioned in the document that using the New-AzWebApp command, you can create the new app.

I tried below commands and was able to clone:

$srcapp = Get-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName sresourcegroup -Name swebapp  

New-AzAppServicePlan -Location "Central US" -ResourceGroupName snsnresourcegroup -Name newappplan -Tier Standard  

$destapp = New-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName snsnresourcegroup -Name newwebapp -Location "Central US" -AppServicePlan  newappplan -SourceWebApp $srcapp  
  

Please let us know if further query or issue remains.

Answer 2

Hi, I can get webapps all info by Get-AzWebApp and can create a new one by New-AzWebApp standalone. But cloning is not working due to InternalServerError. However, I just checked Health history of Service Health & got some notifications. There's running scheduled maintenance on Azure App Service instance(s) in West Europe.

Could this be the cause of the issue?
