Note

The content in this topic that applies to online versions of Dynamics 365 is for versions prior to Dynamics 365 (online), version 9.0. For the latest documentation, see Modify a configuration data schema.

You can modify an existing schema file to include information about new configuration data or to update the existing configuration data definition to enhance the configuration data export process.

Before you begin

  • Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. Then extract the contents of the package on your computer. The Configuration Migration tool is available under the SDK\Tools\ConfgurationMigration folder in the extracted Dynamics 365 SDK package. You do not need to install the Configuration Migration tool. Run the tool by double-clicking the DataMigrationUtility.exe file in the SDK\Tools\ConfgurationMigration folder.

  • You must have a schema file that was created using the Configuration Migration tool. More information:  Create a schema to export configuration data
