Configuration Package Export - Import issue

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Steven Nettleship 65

I have created a Configuration Package for my client, this contains Customer, Vendor and Items. I have made changes to the fields that I require as part of the process and which fields I want to be validated etc.

I am able to Export the Package, I am then able to export the Excel Template, amend the data in Excel and then import without any issues.

So what is my problem!

OK, I now wish to use this same package on my 'Live' Company, either in Sandbox or Production.

SO I export the original Package and then import to the new company. The new package becomes visible in the list, but when I open the package, there are no tables listed. I am having to manually re-add the relevant tables and make my adjustments to required fields and validation again!

I have tried doing this from Sandbox to Sandbox and from Production to Production (and every combination in between!) without success, each time the tables (lines) are cleared and I have to add the relevant tables again!

Any ideas here as I am nearing a go-live from Sandbox to Production and I dont want to have to work through creating all my Configuration Packages again!

Thanks in Advance!

    We are facing the same issue. There seems to be an colleration between the configuration itself and the data it contains.

    If I create a configuration package on a new company with no data, then export the package and import it on my target instance, everything is fine.

    However, when i create a configuration package, import data through Excel and then export the package, the file contains the data and the import on my target instance lead to the described issue that tables are missing.

    Any hints?
