XML Import

akaserer

I created an XMLport and exported some data which is fine.

After that i tried to import this XML file via the same XMLport back into Navision.

I get the following error message:

___________
The XML Parser return the following fatal error:
A document must contain exactly one root element.

Line Number = 1 Column Number = 0
___________

I imported the same file which was exported before with the same XMLport.

How to fix this problem?

Thanks for your help

May be that in your XMLPort you defined the root as something, which is repeated (table)... you need to have only one root, not for example 10 items...

I use the standard Navision 4.0 Cronus US database and in here i use the pre-defined dataport

ID 10 - IC G/L Account Import/Export

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="no"?>
<GLAccounts>
<ICGLAccount No="10000" Name="ASSETS" AccountType="Begin-Total" IncomeBalance="Balance Sheet" Blocked="No" Indentation="0"/>
.... (there are more elements like this)
</GLAccounts>

So you see: there is only 1 GLAccounts root node.

The export works, but i got the problem with the import.

I use this one just for testing but i need to import other XML docs to Navision.

Thanks

maybe somewhere is an element / attribute which is named like the root element ? try using a namespace if possible.
