Feature Upgrade : Better to go for full solution deployment or for solution upgrade?
Mon, 01/16/2012 - 21:08
There are already a lot of debates everywhere around the web discussing about the best strategy when it comes to solution deployment. The main topic is always Solution Upgrade (which I’ll refer further to as SU) or Solution Retract/Delete/Add/Deploy (which I’ll refer further to as FSD).
Back in the 2007 days, those debates were already present but at that time, FSD often won the battle and there were not many people envisioning seriously working with SU.

Hi,
As you probably noticed and as I've observed on the web, many people complain about the fact that when deploying a BCS model with Visual Studio, you have to specify a value for the feature property SiteUrl. If you don't, you might have troubles depending on your topology as described in the following blog posts http://trentacular.com/2011/05/deploying-sharepoint-bdc-models-via-features-without-specifying-a-siteurl/ and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vssharepointtoolsblog/archive/2010/07/30/deploy-your-bdc-model-to-a-specific-bcs-service-using-visual-studio-2010.aspx
