copy one company into a different tenant

Posted on by AntonioTorre 574

I want to copy one company data into a different tenant (something like we had in NAV). I know about configuration packages, but this is not an option right now.

Exporting as a bacpac in azure is not an option either since source company is a Sandbox, and also I am not sure if I could restore a bacpac in a different cloud tenant.

    If the database metadate is the exact same (same tables, fields - also in extensions) you can do an export/import to datafile from the client.

    If it is not, RapidStart is your only option as far as i know.

    Sorry - i don't have access to a BC16 Cloud tenant, so I don't know if the functionality is available there...

    Try ALT+Q and search for Export to a datafile / Import from a datafile
