• Discovering all contents
• Discovering Environments
• Discovering Apps
• Discovering Solutions
• Discovering Flows
• Discovering Connections
• Reviewing Tasks
• Reviewing Events

Prerequisites

• The Test Power Apps Connection task must be run before Discover All Contents can be processed.
• The Test Power Apps Connection task must successfully connect to the source tenant to process Discover All Contents.
• For full discovery the On Demand Service Principal will require Administrative access to any Dataverses present in the Environments deployed for Power Apps. This access was granted by the manual steps in the Granting Additional Permissions topic

Considerations

We strongly recommend that you run only one discovery task at a time to avoid scheduling delays.

The Environments present in the source tenant must be discovered prior to any other object types. This can be completed through the Discover All Contents task or Discover task on the Environments tab.

Full discovery for objects in Environments that have a Dataverse will require access to the Dataverse. In cases where these are not known, an initial discovery can assist with this and be used to determine the Dataverse access required after which a second discovery can be processed.

Running an On Demand Power BI Module discovery to process on premises Gateways in the source tenant will assist with displaying the friendly names for any Gateways in use by Connections.

Discovering all contents

This is a unified approach which uses the Discover All Contents task to inspect the source tenant and discover all Power Apps instances of Workspaces, Gateways and Connections.

NOTE: Discovering all contents is recommended as the first of all discovery tasks. This task will collect data about Environments, Apps, Solutions, Flows and Connections. This information will be indicated in the pre-migration report. To complete the pre-migration report, you must also run the Collect Statistics task. Environments, Apps, Solutions, Flows and Connections can also be discovered separately using dedicated discovery tasks that are usually recommended for the discovery of newer Power Apps objects, when new objects are added to the source tenant that must be migrated.
