After you have successfully exported data from the source instance, you can import
the XML file directly to the target instance.
Importing XML does not trigger business rules or update the instance cache.
-
Sign in to the target instance (the instance that should receive the
data).
-
In the banner frame, click the Elevate privileges icon (
) beside the user name.
-
In the Activate an Elevated Privilege dialog box, select the
security_admin check box and click OK.
-
Navigate to any list in the system.
Any list can be used because the XML file contains the destination table name
for the records.
-
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. |
-
In the import screen, click Choose File and select the
previously exported XML file.
-
Click Upload.
Note: If the data does not import, navigate to 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.
