CRM Dynamics 2011 import: no data

Question

I try to migrate data from an online CRM trial environment to an on premise CRM installation both version 2011. I first migrated the solution. Now I want to migrate the data of my custom entities. In the export I include the column headers to facilitate the import into the on premise CRM instance. I try to do this through the import wizard. Everything goes fine: in the system tasks overview I can see that the files content gets parsed, transformed and imported but no data is actually imported although the import xml files contain data. Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you.

It looks like you can only use the export with column headers when you plan to import into the same CRM instance again. If you export with column headers the primary key of the table is exported along which makes it unusable for import on other CRM instances — Batopilas

When you open imported crm file from list, is there any records in list of 'Fully imported' entities? I suppose, like you sad that importing has 'Completed' status. If there are records here, try to change view on your list of entities. (All something)

Edit:

Try this tutorial for export/import crm data. Pay attention to this note:

Do not check make this data available for reimport checkbox as this feature is meant to export and update data in the same organization and not for cross organization data migration.
