Updating records using Data Import

  • Article

I was trying to update a few records after exporting them out of CRM 2011. To do that:

* Create an Advanced Find view will all the columns that you would like to update (saves the pain of sifting through information.)

* Export to excel with "MAKE THIS DATA AVAILABLE FOR REIMPORTING BY INCLUDING REQUIRED COLUMN HEADERS" checked....

* Save the excel and update the data.

* Reimport the data back.

 

At this point I saw that imported file was added in the "Imports" with status as "Submitted". This status did not change for quite some time. Considering the fact that this was my VPC I expected it to be parsed and transformed immediately.

The problem was that the CRM Asynch service was not running and hence the undue delay....
