    Hi,

    I want to upload data to CRM 2011 from flat files. I am planning to use SSIS and i know i have to reference CRM webservices to access the entities. But i am not sure about the webservice URL and other objects which i have to use create data in the entity.

    Other approach which i am thinking of is, i could directly upload it to CRM DB's but i am not sure whether the entity will be mapped to just a single table. If an entity has more than one relationship then i might be ending up inserting data in multiple tables. I certainly want to go with webservice. So if any examples or links will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry i am new to CRM and there are some examples for CRM 4.0 but it looks like the webservices are changed in 2011.

    You can still use the CRM 4.0 Web Service endpoint in CRM 2011.  It remains functional for backward compatibility.

    Thanks pogo. Good to know.

    I'm just curious to know, what's the replacement service for the below CRM4.0 service in 2011?

    http://servername/mscrmservices/2007/CrmServiceWsdl.aspx (It's exposing all the entities but i don't think the below organization svc exposes that)

    This one?
    http://servername/orgname/XRMServices/2011/organization.svc?wsdl

    If the organization service is the right one then, how should i access the entities? Thanks!

    The new SOAP WSDL can be found at:

    http://<server>:<port>/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl=wsdl0

    It only exposes the generic Entity class, which is the equivalent of CRM4.0's DynamicEntity.

    Hi Jegu,

    I have done a lot of work on this type of stuff with 4 and 2011 and most of the development decisions were based on whether you are going to do a one time import or repeatedly synchronise the data. We ended up pretty much using Data Sync Studio rather than continually  because the trial keys gave us time for a fast import and the scheduler made sync'ing easy. Changing the fields was not a testing crisis and we didn't need SSIS everywhere. We ended up feeling pretty guilty using the trial keys so we kept buying it for our clients.

    Have a look at their blogs and give the trial a go. ->www.simego.com
