    Data import/export framework user guide sounds like a good starting point to me.

    The best advice you could get is to read the documentation, then by using a search engine you could find examples on how to set up a new custom DIXF entity that you could follow from a blog or partner website. You may try either the wizard - or to understand better how it works follow the manual entity creation steps on MSDN.

    And of course there is an e-learning module on this.

    You will find a lot of useful stuff here shafeaa.blogspot.ae/.../di.html

    and Kurt's tuff is always worth a  read

    I don't know what release/CU you are on, but there was a big update in this area from R2 to R3. (and of course further changes for DFO365)

    Hi Michael,

    Next to the documentation, there are many blog posts related to this topic. Use the next link to see e.g. what I have written in the past: kaya-consulting.com/.../data-importexport-framework
