Question
You create a test instance of Dynamics 365 Business Central and enter transactions for testing purposes. You create a production company instance in the same Business Central environment.
You need to copy the setup and master data from the test instance to the production instance without copying transaction data.
What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Use the Run Migration Now function from Cloud Migration Management
- B. Create and export a configuration package from the source company. Next, import into the destination company Correct
- C. Use the Copy Data from Company function from the Configuration Worksheet page Correct
- D. Use the Copy function from the Companies page
Explanation
A configuration package lets you pick only the setup and master data tables, export them from the source company and import them into the destination; posted entries cannot be imported this way anyway. The Copy Data from Company action on the Configuration Worksheet copies the data for the tables listed in the worksheet from another company in the same environment, so you choose which setup and master tables are copied. The Copy action on the Companies page duplicates the whole company, including transactions, and cloud migration moves data from an on-premises system rather than between companies.
