Moving a Logic App to another App Service Plan

Chris Lupton 1

Hi all,

I need to move my Logic App to another App Service plan within the same subscription, but within a different Resource Group.

I'm aware that the ASP you're moving to needs to be in the same region or RG, but I'm confused;

If I were to recreate the Logic App from scratch in it's own RG, I can select the new ASP I need to move it to (it presents in the list of available plans at creation).
But if I use the Change App Service Plan option from the existing Logic Apps ASP blade, it doesn't present me with the existing RG (as mentioned, stored in a different RG).

The question is; is this a limitation applied specifically to moving Logic Apps to a different ASP, or is it unexpected behavior that I'll need to raise a support query over?

Thanks

Hi @Chris Lupton,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

You can move an app to another App Service plan, as long as the source plan and the target plan are in the same resource group and geographical region and of the same OS type. Any change in type, such as Windows to Linux or any type that's different from the originating type, isn't supported.

Any VNET integration configured on the app must be disabled prior to changing App Service plans.

For further clarification, please refer to the following documentations:

Move Azure resources to a new resource group or subscription

Manage an App Service plan in Azure

Move logic app resources to other Azure resource groups, regions, or subscriptions

I hope this information helps you understand and resolve your issue. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Hi,

Thanks - is there a reason why I can create a Logic App against an app service plan in a totally different RG, but can't move an existing Logic App to an app service plan in a totally different RG?

Hi @Chris Lupton,
The reason you can create a Logic App against an App Service Plan in a different resource group but can't move an existing Logic App there is due to Azure's design. When creating a new Logic App, Azure allows selection from any resource group in the same subscription, as long as the region and OS type match.

Moving an existing Logic App enforces stricter rules to maintain consistency and avoid issues with dependencies. To move your Logic App to a different App Service Plan in another resource group, you would need to recreate it in the desired location.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
