Configure data import

  • Artigo

The configuration information that is required for importing data is contained in the Data Import (Import) table and the Import Source File (ImportFile) table.

To configure data import, do the following:

  • Use the Import.ModeCode column to specify whether to create or update data during import. If you are using early bound types, you can use the ImportModeCode enumeration. For a list of the ModeCode values, see the choice values for this table. To view the metadata for your organization, install the Metadata Browser solution described in Browse table definitions in your environment. You can also browse the reference documentation for tables in the Dataverse table/entity reference.
  • Use the ImportFile.FileTypeCode column to specify the type of the import file. If you are using early bound types, you can use the ImportFileType enumeration. For a list of the FileTypeCode values, see the choice values for this table.
  • Use the ImportFile.DataDelimiterCode column to specify the single character data delimiter in the import file. If you are using early bound types, you can use the ImportDataDelimiter enumeration. For a list of the ImportDataDelimiter values, see the choice values for this table.
  • Use the ImportFile.FieldDelimiterCode column to specify the single character column delimiter in the import file. If you are using early bound types, you can use the ImportFieldDelimiter enumeration. For a list of the FieldDelimiterCode values, see the choice values for this table.
  • Set ImportFile.IsFirstRowHeader to true to indicate that the first row in the source file contains column headings or to false to indicate that the first row contains actual data. If set to false, default column headings are generated.
  • Set ImportFile.ImportId to the ID of the import (data import) that the import file is associated with.
  • Set ImportFile.ImportMapId to the ID of the associated import map (data map).
  • Set ImportFile.EnableDuplicateDetection to true to enable duplicate detection during data import.
  • Read the content of the source file into the ImportFile.Content.

Important

We do not recommend updating records by using data import programmatically. To update, use the data export and import capabilities of the Microsoft Dataverse Web application. Use Export to Excel to export records to an XML Spreadsheet 2003 (.xml) file. This is the only valid source file type for the Update mode. Re-importing data from the XML Spreadsheet 2003 (.xml) source file ensures that the data integrity in Dataverse is maintained. To import updated data, use the Dataverse Import Data Wizard. For more information about the Import Data Wizard, see Dataverse Help.
