Hello Everyone,
One of our customers wants to do all customisation changes directly on a Default solution of production(live) server. They don't want to follow the release process via managed solution(s). At present we do have any unmanaged solution, suppose, in case we allow them to do the further customisation changes directly on the default solution of the live server then what could be the disadvantages? Whether can we revert them back again to the managed solution release process(same as we maintained right now)? If yes then what would be the steps to do so?
Furthermore, this customer would like to do the customisation changes by their own and they want to do it very frequently along with the data changes on production server itself.
According to them, the release process (transporting customisation via managed solutions) is a time consuming way, the deletion of components require to take support of holding solution, and some more points that they would like to eliminate from the current process. They used to do the changes directly on Default solution in CRM 4.0. We moved them to managed solutions and a separate development and QA servers. But, now they want to go back to the previous process.
Are there any ways that we can temporary allow them to do the direct changes on live server (considering the data as well), like creating unmanaged solution and do the changes and down the line, say after 3 or 4 months we could again revert them back to current process of managed solution.
Any help would be much appreciated.
