Unable to Import Solution Because of SQL Replication

Satyvir Jasra, 16 August 2018

During a recent solution import for Dynamics 365, the import kept on failing even though the solution contained only an updated JavaScript Web Resource. The solution was being imported to a Dynamics 365 on-premise environment with version 8.2.0.749. The error message was:

“An error has occurred. Try this action again. If the problem continues, check the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Community for solutions or contact your organization's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Administrator. Finally, you can contact Microsoft Support.”

Upon doing some research, I figured out that this could be a sign of SQL Replication causing issues for solution import. When the SQL replication was turned off, we were able to successfully import the same solution that we couldn’t earlier. SQL replication was turned back on after the deployment was completed.
