Error: Code=InvalidServiceName | 9.2 PAAS set-up

Question

I am trying to install Sitecore 9.2 Standalone on Azure PAAS using Sitecore Azure Toolkit 2.3.0 rev. 190410.

I am following the steps provided at https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/92/sitecore-experience-manager/en/walkthrough--deploying-a-new-sitecore-environment-to-the-microsoft-azure-app-service.html

I am facing an issue here as the script breaks after the provisioning state is marked as a success.

The last log:

VERBOSE: 9:45:02 AM - Created resource group 'october-2019' in location 'eastasia'

After that my resource details are displayed on th screen.

Then I got this error:

New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment : 10:00:02 AM - Error: Code=InvalidTemplateDeployment; Message=The template deployment 'october-2019' is not valid according to the validation
procedure. The tracking id is 'c301cb8c-5e23-4e5e-8740-76ee6df2c747'. See inner errors for details.

The following are the different combinations which I tried:

1. Oct
2. October
3. Oct-2019
4. October2019
5. october2019
6. october-2019
7. 20191003

Any input will be helpful.

Answer 1

You'll get this if the deploymentId parameter is somehow not being set correctly.

The key error message you provided:

Service name '-as' is invalid

This is the Azure Search resource name, which is prepended by the deploymentId parameter.

The Sitecore Azure Quickstart Templates says

The deploymentId and licenseXml parameters in azuredeploy.parameters.json are filled in by the PowerShell script using Name and LicenseXmlPath parameters respectively.
