Regards,

Yea, I’ve been using DMM a lot lately and, actually, right now I have to import around 8000 accounts, 20000 contacts, 60000 phonecalls and 20000 records of a custom entity. Still working on the relations, atm, but I’m really curious as well to see how fast the migration will run.

There’s one thing I’d like to ask.. I noticed that if I want to assign a phone call to a contact (I have the fullname for it) and at the same time I’m migrating the contact (using first and last name), the engine does not always recognize it.. so that I tried using the GUID. Do you have any idea if I can force the guid (also from CRM) onto this new database?

Regards,

Good catch; I remember wondering about that just as soon as I made that comment.

I’ve got a couple more recordings I’m going to post on the DMM on some other topics you might be interested in. Have you migrated data with the DMM? I’ve been using it a fair amount recently but I haven’t migrated a large data set and I’m wondering what performance is like for large files.

Glad you liked that counter trick. I use it all the time.

I watched the video and I think there’s a mistake in your description.. When you get that error with the first import, at phone calls, you suggest that the phone call was a duplicate and its good not to be imported, but what I think it says is that it found 2 accounts that are duplicated, so that the engine didn’t know for which to assign the phone call to.

Other than that, really cool presentation; I liked your idea when using that counter to be able to create charts.

Cheers,
