After you have successfully exported data from the source instance, you can import the XML file directly to the target instance.

1. Sign in to the target instance (the instance that should receive the data).
2. In the banner frame, click the Elevate privileges icon () beside the user name.
3. In the Activate an Elevated Privilege dialog box, select the security_admin check box and click OK.

   

4. Navigate to any list in the system.
   Any list can be used because the XML file contains the destination table name for the records.
5. Perform the appropriate action for the list version.

   Version	Action
   List v2	Open any column context menu and select Import XML.
   List v3	Open the list title menu and select Import XML.

6. In the import screen, click Choose File and select the previously exported XML file.

   

7. Click Upload.
   Note: If the data does not import, navigate to System Definition > Tables & Columns and verify that the table from which the data was exported also exists in the instance importing the data. If the table does not exist in that instance, you can move it using an update set.
