    Hi,

    Currently I am in same situation like you was, I wanted to move all the records from Test environment to production.  I am using Configuration migration tool. 

    1) Schema is getting exported, when I am trying to export the data by using the schema file i am getting error (In configuration migration tool it is showing the error the export from crm failed check the log duration of export)

    If you can help me that is really appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Which SSIS version do you have? If you have SQL Server 2008 you won't be able to connect to CRM v9 as you will need .Net 4.5. With Sql Server 2008 you only have .Net 3.5

    You can also use the DataMigrationUtility available in the SDK. (SDK -> Tools -> ConfigurationMigration -> DataMigrationUtility).

    Follow the steps here -

    1. Create Schema file to describe the data you want to export from CRM. (say from TEST in your case here, Add Contact, Account, Lead, campaign... etc to your schema).

    2. Export Data from CRM using the schema file you created in Step1.

    3. Import the file to your PROD using the exported schema file and data file.

    I believe this works as well.

    Hi Happyman,

    You need to install Kingswaysoft SSIS Connect for Microsoft Dynamics 365 in order to see the CRM Connection there.

    It seems like you are saying that you installed the Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit which is a different product.

    You can download it from:

    www.kingswaysoft.com/.../download

    Hope this helps.

    Which version of SSDT are you using? If you are using SSDT for VS12 then uninstall and instal SSDT VS15 or VS17.Then follow the below approach.

    Depending on what exactly you want to do, maybe you can just switch your sandbox to production:

    You can use SSIS ETL with CozyRoc plugin to migrate your crm data from one environment to other.
