Posted on by Paul V 166

Hello:

I am receiving the error above (full error in screen shot below)

Our test environment was refreshed and I was attempting to load in personalizations from the XML file I exported prior to the refresh.

Can you tell me what the error below means?

Is the file trashed?  I also tried to load an older personalization file, received same error

Thanks

Paul

    Hi Paul,

    The file name is named securitydatabasecustomizations. Is this a personalization file or do you need to import this file on the Security configuration form?

    Sorry Andre.  I had the wrong set of file names
