Import using the crm sdk with failure/success indication (crm4)

Question

Hi,

I am using the crm sdk and i need to export all customizations to an xml file and then import them using the crm sdk from another computer.

 

In the export part i have no problems: i can use the classes ExportAllXml or the ExportCompressedAllXml.

 

That way i get an xml or a zip with all the customizations.

No problems so far.

 

Now i need to import all the customizations: I saw the classes ImportAllXml and ImportCompressedAllXml and ImportCompressedXmlWithProgress

 

I need to perform the import which seems simple but i need to get an indication if the import suceeded or not (and hopefully to know why the import failed(on which entity)).

 

How can i get this indication? i saw that with the ImportCompressedXmlWithProgress i can get an indication using the importjob entity, but the ImportCompressedXmlWithProgressRequest requires i give it a ParameterXml with the entities to import. I want it to import ALL entities.

 

What  would you recommend? To summarize, Do you have any solution that will import all customizations and will give an indication of success/failure (preferably with info about why it failed(on which entity)?

 

Thanks

 

Aaron

 

 

 

Answer 1

anyone??

Answer 2

is there no way to do it?

Answer 3

The only way I can see to do this would be to repeatedly call ImportCompressedXmlWithProgress, specifying each entity at a time in the ParameterXml. It should be possible to use the Xml classes to identify each entity in the source xml and loop through them

 

Answer 4

how come microsoft doesn't make an

ImportCompressedAllXmlWithProgress  message?
