We are on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. I am noticing that when I try to deploy a solution a second time instead of creating a new folder with all new items what happens instead is a new folder is created with a new solution item but the only other items in the new folder are apps, maps, or services that were not in the original solution or I deleted from the original solution. Is that the expected behavior?
For example, two years ago I deployed version 1.0 of the GIS Request Management solution to test but my boss cancelled the deployment for something else. I never deleted that deployed solution. Now I have an opportunity to deploy it again. We are now on 11.5 and have access to version 1.1 of the GIS Request Management solution. I deployed version 1.1 and all that was added to a new folder was a solution item, the site item, the site page item, and the GIS_Activities_surveys view (I don't remember why but I had to delete and recreate that view in version 1.0).
I was hoping that it would create a whole new copy of the solution and not link to the old deployment in any way.
