Could not create environment with Sample Apps.

Fernando Gois 25

Hi. Going thru https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/use-dataverse-triggers-actions/exercise, the first step is the section called "Prerequisite - Environment with sample apps".

As I tried to create a new environment (Btw, I already have a "developer" environment under my learning account, but it did not contain the Sample application needed for this exercise), I kept receiving this error: "This environment can't be created because your org (tenant) needs at least 1 GB of database capacity. Monitor capacity Learn more".

I noticed that the Default type was "Sandbox", which I believe it is the reason I received the error above. Just for the sake of testing, I created another "Developer" type environment, but as expected, it did not contain any "Innovation Challenge" application, and neither a Team Project table.

Is there a way to get the "Innovation Challenge" application, and a tables, choices, columns needed for this exercise?

Thanks. Fernando Gois.

Hi Syed and Fernando Gois,

I also do not see it and I set up a Power Apps Trial Version with Dynamics 365 Apps installed.

However no Innovation Challenge application.

Hello Fernando Gois,

Thank you for your patience.

Based on the issue, it seems to be related to access permissions, as the sample apps and Dataverse connectors require specific environment permissions. I’ve reached out to the author, and they confirmed that this is likely an access-related issue. We’ve tested this on our end, and everything is working fine. Kindly refer to the screenshot below for reference. To resolve the issue, we recommend trying a different environment or ensuring that your current environment has the necessary permissions for sample apps and Dataverse. If the issue persists, please contact the support team to confirm your access level.

We will include this for review during the upcoming maintenance and keep you updated.

If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments. We are glad to help you.

Hi Syed, when your teams says "as the sample apps and Dataverse connectors require specific environment permissions" can they elaborate more?

They are saying "To resolve the issue, we recommend trying a different environment" but the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/use-dataverse-triggers-actions/exercise clearly say (See Prerequisite session, steps 1 thru 4) to create a brand-new environment. Does the "Type" of environment matter? It Defaults to "Sandbox"" and the instructions don't ask to change/ This is when I received the "This environment can't be created because your org (tenant) needs at least 1 GB of database capacity". This is when I changed the type to "Developer" I can create a new environment but there is no Innovation Challenge app at all.

When your team says "*we recommend trying a different environment or ensuring that your current environment has the necessary permissions for sample apps and Dataverse*.", what do they mean? The exercise is asking to create a brand-new environment. What permissions they are referring too? Since the issue persists, when you say "*contact the support team*". Are you referring the Microsoft support team? By using the help link on the upper right-hand side at the banner page? Thanks. Fernando.

Hi Fernando Gois,

Thank you for your follow-up.

The "specific environment permissions" refer to access rights that allow you to use Dataverse connectors and sample apps. These permissions are typically available in Trial or Production environments, while Developer or Sandbox environments may have restricted access to certain features, including the sample apps.

As mentioned in Unit 5, the prerequisite is to create an environment with sample apps. Kindly refer to the screenshot below for the steps to create a new environment with Dataverse and sample apps.

If you’ve followed these steps and are still encountering issues, could you please share a screenshot of the error message you're seeing? This will help us better understand the problem and assist you more effectively.

Regarding the "This environment can't be created because your org (tenant) needs at least 1 GB of database capacity" error, this typically occurs when using a Sandbox environment with insufficient database capacity. Here are two possible solutions:

Switch to a Developer environment: Developer environments don’t require additional database capacity and should bypass this error.

Increase database capacity in your Sandbox environment: You may need to increase capacity or check with your admin to ensure sufficient database space. This can be managed through the Power Platform Admin Center under Capacity settings.

If you continue to face issues, please share a screenshot of the error, and I’ll be happy to assist further.

@Syed Saleem Peera I think this is a global issue, I also tried several times using different environments (and even tenants) and the sample apps simply don't get installed. Maybe Microsoft can provide them as downloadable solutions too?
