Define a refresh dependencies sequence, and execute

Service Center

Currently we have to refresh and republish manually to keep the sequence.  Automating that is going to be hard -there will sometimes be cyclic stuff, sometimes other things.

But one idea was to have a place in service centre, like in a solution, that would go one step deeper.

1 - define modules in this solution

2 - order them in a specific sequence so that it makes sense going up the 4LC - especially where there are combinations.

3 - execute - effectively automatically do the same as we do manually - open the module, refresh dependencies, apply, publish, move to next module

4 - exceptions are fine to throw & cancel operation, should be able to communicate with the team directly when this is used.

5- outcome should be that all producers / consumer warnings are handled.

Hi Andy,


If you create a solution in Service center containing all the related modules, it should do exactly what you describe above. 


Cyclic references should be fixed and not worked-around with a solution. 

OK, I've looked at solutions before and didn't get confidence that the sequence is applied, and they've been really slow to execute.  So perhaps this is more a separation of steps and accelerate execution?
