Import configuration - Data file - Direct

Prev Next

You can directly 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.
If a record already exists in RapidValue, it is replaced with the record in the data 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 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 F&SCM is running. Only use this option for big configuration files.
