Hi Rohini,

While importing records, by default configuration migration tool looks for the primary key and determines if the records needs to be inserted or update i.e. if you are importing account records, it will check the name of the record and if there is already an account with that name then it will simple update the existing record even though its a separate record with other values.

To avoid this issues, while creating the schema, you need to set the fields used for update and then selects the id field for that entity e.g. accountid.

I ran into the same issue when importing the web pages anbd only half got imported, later realized that the name of the web pages were same and tool were skipping the records. After setting this, it worked fine.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rohini,

In addition to Ravi's suggestion, Please avoid taking user specific fields like owner, owningbusinessuser, ownedby etc. If the users mapped in these field does not found in destination then that record does not move.

These fields you can simply removed while creating the schema file.

Hope it helps.

Hi Ravi,

Just a follow up to this question, I imported accounts from dev to production instance in the MSD 356 using configuration migration tool and all the accounts appears in the production however its showing my name as the owner of all the accounts. how do get it to import the rightful owners rather showing my name in all account?

Hi Rohini,

If I am not wrong, as long as you have included the owner field in the schema and you have the same users across environment then it should work.
