Power Platform CLI solution support for Power Pages (preview)

  • Article

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change.]

The Power Pages enhanced data model supports the solution awareness feature for Power Pages. This feature helps you use Microsoft Power Platform solution capabilities to move a website configuration from one environment to another.

Important

  • This feature is a preview feature.
  • Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.

The Power Platform CLI provides solution-related commands that can also be applied to Power Pages.

Create a new solution

Run the following command to create a new solution by using the PAC CLI:

pac solution init --publisher-name '<<publisher name>>' --publisher-prefix '<<publisher prefix>>' --outputDirectory '<<directory>>'

Example:

pac solution init --publisher-name 'ppmaker' --publisher-prefix 'pp' --outputDirectory 'c:\dev\ppsolution'

Add an existing website to a solution

To add a website to a solution by using the PAC CLI, you must determine the component type and the component ID.

Determine the component type

To get the specific Power Pages componentType names and values, send a GET request by using the Dataverse Web API OData call.

{OrgURL}/api/data/v9.1/solutioncomponentdefinitions?filter=startswith(name,'powerpage')$&select=name,solutioncomponenttype

Determine the component ID

To get the componentId value, send a GET request by using the Web API OData call.

You can use the following endpoints:

  • powerpagesite
  • powerpagesitelanguage
  • powerpagecomponent

The following example uses the powerpagesite endpoint:

{OrgURL}/api/data/v9.1/powerpagesites?$select=name

Screenshot that shows a list of component IDs.

After you've determined the component type and component ID, run the following command to add an existing website to a solution by using the PAC CLI:

pac solution add-solution-component

Example:

pac solution add-solution-component -sn SampleSolution -c c6f2aec0-ddd2-ed11-a7c6-6045bdf05d59 -ct 10319

In this example:

  • SampleSolution represents the solution's unique name.
  • c6f2aec0-ddd2-ed11-a7c6-6045bdf05d59 is the record ID of the Power Pages site.
  • 10319 is the CompomponentType value of the Power Pages site solution from the earlier Web API response.

Run pac solution sync or pac solution export to export the solution by using the PAC CLI.

You can now move the Power Pages website configuration by using Microsoft Power Platform Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) processes.
