Migrating Attachments in CRM 4.0
Posted by skmcbee on January 23rd, 2008


Hi,

We are using the Data Migration Manager to import data into CRM 4.0. All of
our
data seems to be migrating fine except for attachments. We have followed all
the
steps in the help files including:

1)We put all the notes/attachments into a Notes.csv file with a column
specifying
the entity, a column that contains the unique (entity) id, and a column with
the
filename.
2)We moved all of the attachments to a sub-folder named 'Attachments' within
the
folder that is holding the Notes.csv file.
3)We have mapped the 'Regarding' field (in CRM) to the entity id column.

After the migration completes, we can see the attachments when we open up an
entity,
but the size is not there and the files can't be opened. When we look in
the database, the filenames are there but there is nothing in the
DocumentBody column.

There are no errors during the migration.

Has anyone had a similar issue or can anyone suggest something?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

You need to map the column in the Notes.Csv file which contains the
filenames of the attachments to the "Document (documentbody)" Column of the
Note entity. Are you doing this?

Thanks

How do I transform a marketing list on the Client for Outlook CRM 4.0
to an Outlook contact list (distribution list) - I would like to send the
marketing
list an attachment... (as this is a routine used by marketing manager).

Thanks
