How do I keep record owner during a migration?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hi everyone,

I am doing a migration to Dynamics CRM and trying to maintain record owners for entities like Account.  I have to map each field in the tool I am using/evaluating (RAPIDI).  I am able to lookup the Dynamics user guid that I want (systemuserid from the systemuser entity), but I am not sure how to set the owner of an account for instance during migration.  I tried the _ownerid_value property but that is a lookup property which is readonly.

Any suggestions on how to set record owner during migration?  Is there some other property/field I have missed?  Thanks.

    I switched from RAPIDI to KingswaySoft several days ago and I have had success with it.  It seems to be a better tool for migrating to Dynamics.

    you can set ownerid field when creating a migrated record in the destination environment.. how you do it depends on the tool you are using.. looks like you'll have to map the id(or, in case with SSIS & Kingsway, for example, you might try using text lookup feature:

    www.kingswaysoft.com/.../destination
