The recommended approach to deploy a complex Power Pages site when the process of adding it into a solution for ALM and deployment hangs or returns a "No response found" error is as follows:
- Use the enhanced data model for Power Pages, which allows adding one or more existing sites into a Power Platform solution. This adds all site components to the solution.
- After adding the site, use the "Add required objects" feature in the solution to include all necessary dependent components.
- Export the solution from the source environment and import it into the target environment.
- Reactivate the site in the target environment after import.
- Use deployment profiles with the ALM Accelerator for Power Platform, which can help handle source control and environment-specific deployment configurations for complex Power Pages sites.
- If deployment dependencies cause issues, a known workaround is to unzip the exported solution file, clear any missing dependencies info from the solution.xml, then zip and re-import.
Currently, adding complex or new Power Pages sites to solutions can have limitations and may require manual steps or workarounds such as those described above. This issue is recognized, and fixes or improvements are expected in upcoming releases. Several users have faced similar problems with dependencies and deployment hangs, finding these approaches useful workarounds.
In summary, the process involves using enhanced data model sites in solutions, adding required components, leveraging deployment profiles and ALM Accelerator tooling, and if stuck on dependencies, manually cleaning solution files before import. This ensures a more successful deployment of complex Power Pages sites with ALM.[1][2][3][4][5]
