DumpIT - Adding / Ignoring fields

Default settings for DumpIT, migrates data for all the creatable fields of an object. For example, if the build.properties file ONLY mentions account as:

process.objects=Account

This migrates all creatable fields for "Account" object. There ar scenarios where you want to migrate data for certain specific fields or ignore certain fields, to do so you can use these given properties in the build properties file.

Ignoring field:

To avoid migrating a certain set of fields, add the below-given property:

Account.ignorefields=Industry,OwnerId

This will migrate all the Account creatable fields except the ones mentioned in the above statement.

Selective fields:

To migrate data for only selective fields, add the below-given property:

Account.fields = Name,BillingAddress,RecordTypeId

In this scenario, only the fields mentioned in the above statement will be migrated, make sure you select all the required fields for that object.

Product Rule : Create a Product Rule of type Selection and scope equals Quote.  Type: Selection Active: checked Conditions Met: All Scope: Quote Evaluation Event: Always 2. Error Condition : Add an error condition to the Product Rule. This product rule will run if this error condition returns true. As per the use case, it should run if there is a product added to the Quote with a Product code as "MBPRO" Tested Obje
