You can selectively import a solution or any part of a solution from a data file that is created from a RapidValue content package. A data file is an XML file of type rvdata that contains all configuration data of the content package.

On selective import, the data file is analyzed, and the contents of this file is compared with the already existing data in RapidValue. If a to-be-imported record already exists in RapidValue, you can indicate what to do:

  • Keep - The existing record in RapidValue is kept without changes.
  • Overwrite - The existing record in RapidValue is replaced with the record in the configuration file.
The steps in this topic show how to import a data file from a file location on your computer.
You can also import a data file from:
  • The RapidValue file share. Make sure the data file is already uploaded as type Data file to the Business process file share workspace. As a result, the data file is shown in the grid on the import wizard.
  • A file location on the server on which D365 FO is running. Only use this option for big data files.
