Enable data fixes when migrating Vlocity datapacks
When the data in the source and target environments are aligned, deploying Vlocity datapacks with Gearset can be quite straightforward.
However at times when they are not, deployments can fail catastrophically with the documented solution requiring the use of tools provided by Vlocity / Salesforce Industries in their Vlocity Build Tool : https://github.com/vlocityinc/vlocity_build. The alternative is to try manually resolving the issues, which can be an uphill struggle when you consider complexities around products, such as their hierarchy, availability and pricing.
For Gearset to truly be a one-stop tool for Salesforce Industries deployments, please enable data fix functionalities in your product so deployment issues can be easily resolved. Such as these Vlocity Build Tool jobs for:
- cleanOrgData
- packUpdateSettings
