Very happy to have found this tool and hope I can get it working to copy CDS Non-Dynamics portal. Exported Custom portal okay from Tenant. A. orgcdcf6511.crm4 Blank portal created on Tenant. B org14440551.crm11 Import fails with below error. Seems a very close naming thing. Where should I start looking. Not a coder but tend to find things out! Many thanks, Richard

Hi @tacklers, not sure why you are getting this error message but could you try to export data using options below

Then import by choosing zip file as import source

Great steer. Excellent. It works for me. Thank you I could export a portal, either reset or not, from one tenant to another. Had a couple of glitches with adx_inviteredemptions and web files but easy to narrow down by just exporting those singly to help wade through audit logs to find import errors. You may have a counting glitch, see attached as the GUI display stops after web files. Probably because it retrieved 58 records, I deselected the error one so export/import was 57. Keep up the invaluable work! Cheers, Richard

Hold up! I stand corrected on the GUI record count and attach second page showing that counts do resume.

Sorry, my bad English... I'm not sure to understand. Is there still anything not working as expected?

tacklers commented 4 years ago

The migrated portal works okay but I still need to setup contacts, permissions and entities. So I cannot confirm 100%. I was puzzled that some entities, say site settings with 45 entries do not show under the second phase 'success' column. Maybe because they have no relationships or lookups to build?

MscrmTools commented 4 years ago

Yes, you did understand correctly. Second phase is only used when lookups need to be populated
