| Problem: | Why are relationships to projects not exported lost when XER is imported to another database where those projects exist? |
| Fix: | All projects have an internal ID on a database that users do not see. The project internal ID is assigned sequentially as projects are added to a database. If a project is exported from one database and imported onto another, the internal IDs on those projects will not be the same. When the activity relationships to the external project on database A are linked to project with Internal ID 124 and that project is internal ID 147 on database B, you will lose the external relationships. The only way to get the external relationships to import successfully is if database B is a direct copy of database A, thus the project internal IDs will match.
Workaround: Export all projects that have external relationships. |
