Power Automate Tip #12 : Use Solution

By -

One of the best practice to create flows is to create it under a Solution. This is going to be extremly helpful if you like to govern your flow from Dev to Test and to the Production environment. Scenarios where IT Consulting companies build the flows for their clients should take advantage of this feature where they could easily create a solution and package it and export,  import the entire solution including connections (substituted to the customer's connections) into the Customer's environment. 

Create new solution by clicking the 'New Solution' and build your flows under it. All the connections you build on the flow will continue to stay on the solution so its easy for you to package.


You can export the solution by publishing the solution, check for issues and you can port it as a 'Managed' Environment for Taking it to Production or take it as a Unmanaged version if you think you could take it to a source control.


A zip package will be downloaded and you can take it to the target environment and import it by click the import button under solutions.

Linksys Wireless Connection Failure

By -
I configured the Linksys wireless router [WRT54G] couple of years before and it just worked great. I myself configured the password and everything worked great at my home. Anyone comes in home takes my password and it just worked great most of the time. all these were with windows server 2003 and Dell machaines. When I bought a new Hp DV9000 (XP) I had an issue connecting to the home wireless. I started browsing and found this solution: Issue : Couldn't connect to the selected connection. 1. Installed an update http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=17d997d2-5034-4bbb-b74d-ad8430a1f7c8&displayLang=en Issue after the update : Acquiring Network address status and stayed there. Did the following after that: 1. Browsed http://192.168.1.1/ 2. used the user-id / password of the connection (default userid is empty & pwd is admin) 3.

Power Apps toPower Automate Error - The input body for trigger 'manual' of type 'Request' did not match its schema definition , the input String does not validate against the date

By Vinod Thachin -
While working with power Apps to Power automate, passing the Date time values as Text(DateTimeValue) throws error as below. The input body for trigger 'manual' of type 'Request' did not match its schema definition. Error details: 'String '' does not validate against format 'date'.'. After checking the Microsoft documentation and few blogs i found out the date values should be passed as a formatted date time. TO pass the date time  we need to use following functions. Text(<<DateTimePicker>>.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyy-mm-dd") Even after passing the value i am still seeing the same issue and finally found out the default value ids sending as empty and formulae failing for empty values. So we need to make sure the Date Value should not go blank to the formulae and the value should be formatted using the formulae as above. Hope this helps.
