Transfer attachment from one to another instance

mdash
Giga Guru

Hi,

We had incidents in instance A. We imported them as a custom task record ( CTA0001, for ex) into instance B.

I imported all fields via xls import. But I could not find a way to import attachments since the sys id of the records in both instance is different.

I have kept a field in instance B to store the incident number of Instance A. Is there any idea how to move forward?

 

Thanks

If the count of incident is less, you can navigate to sys_attachement table, copy the sysid of the incident and run a query as below, it will give the list of attachments linked to that particular incident.  Export/import xml between your instances

 

Thanks Munish. I was thinking along the same lines.

We have a little more number of incidents with attachments here. Is there any other way out?

Hi Priya, 



Thank you for the links. I am trying out and will share my results soon.

Will the same process work for other tables as well? Like sys_history, audit etc?

 

Thanks
