    I am attempting to Import/Upgrade a CRM 4.0 Organisation into a clean install of CRM 2011.

    I have backedup the CRM 4.0 database and restored it to the CRM 2011 database. 

    Then using the Deployment Manager I have kicked off the import of the organisation.

    The import fails with the following error:

    13:48:59|  Error| Exception occured during Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.OrganizationUpgrader: Action Microsoft.Crm.Tools.Admin.UpgradeDatabaseAction failed.
    InnerException:
    System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Updating CustomerAddress.postalcode.Length but it's not valid for update. Original value:120. New value:100.
       at Microsoft.Crm.Metadata.AttributeUpdateAction.DetectLengthChanges(MetadataBusinessEntity updateData)
       at Microsoft.Crm.Metadata.AttributeUpdateAction.UpdateAttributeTable()

       at Microsoft.Crm.Metadata.MetadataHelper.ProcessQueue()
       at Microsoft.Crm.Setup.DiffBuilder.Pass1(String metadataLocation, String languageCode)
       --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

    The Post Code field on customer address has been customised to be 60 through the CRM 4.0 interface. 
    It seems as though the default size for this field in 2011 is 50.

    I have tried insatlling Roll Up 1 for CRM 2011 but no joy.

    Anyone have an idea on how to resolve this?

    Thanks
    Nic

    Based on this link I had a look at the sys.columns and MetadataSchema.Attribute table for my organisation.

     http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/crmdeployment/thread/be1aa37a-3dc8-4b00-9939-0fe0dd93c0a0

    I ran the following query to confirm that the lenght of my postalcode column is 120.

    select

    name, max_length, object_name([object_id])
    from sys.columns
    where name = 'postalcode'
    and [OBJECT_ID] = object_id('CustomerAddress'

    )

    I then ran this next query to confirm that the MetadataSchema thought that the fields Length was also 120 and the Length was 60.

    select

    DefaultValue, Length, MaxLength, IsNullable, IsLogical,CustomizationLevel
    from MetadataSchema.Attribute
    where AttributeId = 'D067356D-D916-4AD4-BBFF-05C9EA291254'

     I then ran this next query to update the MaxLength and Length of the Attribute to be as CRM 2011 was expecting.

    update

    MetadataSchema.Attribute
    set Length = 100, MaxLength =50
    where AttributeId =

    'D067356D-D916-4AD4-BBFF-05C9EA291254'

    The import now completes sucessfully but this does seem less than Kosher.
    Is this the only way to get round this type of problem?

    Cheers
    Nic

    Hi,

    Yes this was the correct solution of this type of problem. In some cases even have to delete few records from the database.
