Data Migration using FetchXml

This utility allows the user to migrate data of the entity from source to target.
The user needs to define FetchXml queries for each entity to which data should be migrated.

The utility has the following input parameters:

• Source Instance – Source instance is the default instance that is connected via XRMToolBox.
• Target Instance – Target instance can be selected by clicking on the Select Target Instance button.
• Logs Path – Directory where the system will save the Log.txt file.
• FetchXml Table – Table to add FetchXml either by typing manually or selecting a file.

For the lookup fields, the user can specify the search by name instead of searching by id. For that, it’s needed to add the SearchByPrimaryField="true" attribute in the FetchXml attribute tag.

For example

<attribute name="transactioncurrencyid" SearchByPrimaryField="true" />

Note` Link entities can be used only for filtering or sorting purposes. For field values migration each FetchXml grid line should represent only one entity.

You can update a target instance using the appropriate criteria.
