Is there a way to fetch fixed number of records using Data Migration Utility Tool?

Posted on by 10

I'm trying to migrate records to a test environment using Microsoft's Data Migration Utility Tool. I only want a few thousand records from each table. I tried using the "top="x"" within the FetchXML but I'm getting an error because the tool uses paging. Is there a way to only migrate over a  fixed number of records using this tool?

    Hi Chris Higgins

    I have solution for your problem

    step 1 please check your fetch xml query 

    SELECT TOP 4 autonumber(column)
    FROM request(table)
    where controlnumber(column) is not Null

     i have used this query i have limited the number of records 

    the problem is in your records you need a autonumber or specific column that specifics a column count 
    pease check and use sql for cds to generate fetch xml and use in data migration tool

    thank you
