AX2009 importing demo data

ajmalsherif

Having successfully installed AX2009 on a stand alone pc,
kindly advise steps on importing Contoso demo data base. The
documentation is crap and doesnt give detail steps.

At the moment i have the menu but no data.

When i try to Import data from the initialisation checklist it goes to the
Import data form. The first field here is Definition Group and has no options to select.
Under File name one can browse to import a .dat file, however this gives a STOP error:

File cannot be opened.
Protected void openFiledef

Could have been initialised during unit
id (ioDef) return

if (serverAccess)
ioDef=SysdataExpImp::openFileServer

Many thanks in advance

as I said, it may be error of different table strukture

If you are trying to import a .dat file belonging to the other versions (for example 4.0)
then also the system will through this kind of error...(May not be in your case)
