I have fully customized a client installation of CRM 3.0 including custom
entities. I am trying in import these customizations onto a Virtual PC 2004
running the CRM 3.0 Demo image from May 2006. I have not touched this
virtual image. It is the demo system with no changes. Iâ??m getting an error
that my mappings are not right.
The message reminds me of the Mapping restrictions
1. The source and target attributes must be the same type.
2. The source attribute length must be < or equal to the length of the
target attribute.
3. The target attribute must not have a mapping relationship with other
mappings.
This 3rd restriction has me doubting things. For example, all
implementations Iâ??ve seen have the following mapping:
Lead.address1_city to contact.address1_city
And
Account.address1_city to contact.address1_city.
This violates rule #3 yet it is an out-of-the box mapping.
So my dilemma â?? How do I import my customizations when Iâ??ve been through all
mappings and rules 1 and 2 seem to be preserved?
I tried to import just the three entities Account, Lead, and Contact but it
also errored saying my mappings were not correct. Should I delete the
mappings on the target (Virtual PC) machine before importing? How do you
find out what specifically it causing the error?
