When users are migrating to a new D365 environment they may want to bring their data projects with them. Thankfully there is a base process to easily export data projects from the DMF which can later be imported into a new D365 environment. This is very efficient during the implantation and training phases where multiple D365 environments may be in play.
The ability to export (e.g. back up) and re-import DMF projects is very important for development teams as well. The DMF projects are lost during data refreshes and moving projects during data migration would save time re-configuring projects with complex import sequences/mapping.
In order to migrate our projects, go to the data management workspace and ‘Download’ the data project.
Then, save the Zip package and go to your new target environment. Create a new import/export data project and give it a name. Click ‘Add file’ and then click the ‘Upload and add’ to select the previously exported Zip package. This will bring in the project from your previous environment.
