MS CRM Package Deployer doesn't proceed further when there is no solution to import

Hi All

I am trying to use package deployer specifically for import of data, but the problem is when I dont include any solution items in import.xml the deployer seems to stuck in some kind of loop and doesn't proceed to the file import. The package seems to work perfectly fine when I include a solution file. 

There is an option to skip the import of solution by overriding an import extension method but this requires to include a solution file. Any thoughts on how could it be achieved without including a solution file?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Mac_01222,

    I do not know the exact reason for the design, but it could just be a current limitation.

    The Dynamics 365 Package Deployer is designed for automation of deployment, moving solutions, and importation of flat files between different environments. It uses the Configuration Migration tool to move and import entity data. However, the Configuration Migration tool is primarily meant for migrating configuration data, not actual end user data such as accounts and contacts.

    @Adrian. Thanks for the response. Any particular reason why it is designed in this way?

    From what i see it seems like the deployer is stuck in some kind of timer loop, waiting for the status update of solution import.

    Hi Mac_01222,

    The Dynamics 365 Package Deployer requires one or more Dynamics 365 solution files. Consider using the Dynamics 365 Data Import Wizard or SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) for importing your data.
