Config / Mappings / Backup and Transport

Backup and Transport

We recommend that you make regular backups of the mappings. Especially in the time when you get to know the module, backups give you the opportunity to try something out and at the same time have the certainty that you can return to an old working state.

You can import Anveo backups into any other system and use them, for example, to transport tests to live systems. Anveo allows you to import backups from older versions, but not from newer module versions to older module versions. The Dynamics version is irrelevant for the transport of mappings.

The report described in this section is only available up to version 3.00.36 of the module. There are new functions in Anveo EDI Connect 4.00 available.

Create a Backup

We offer a report that you can use to import and export the mapping data. You can find the report with the name EDI Backup/Restore at:

Departments - Administration - Application Setup - Anveo EDI - Settings - EDI Backup/Restore

Choose the direction export first. You can choose whether you want to include all setup data, this will also export the license and all other setup information. And you can filter the mappings to be exported by using the filters.

Import a Backup/Transport file

The import will merge all the data with the existing records. This can make your mappings unusable. You will have to manually delete the mapping first, before you import a backup!

We offer a report that you can use to import the backup data. You can find the report with the name EDI Backup/Restore at:
