Issue with data import

[rizwaans]

Hi,
I'm writing to understand what could have caused the below issue while importing data. I'm using configuration migration tool module powershell crm commands i.e. import-crmdatafile to push data.

#import configuration migration powershell module
- powershell: |
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Xrm.Data.Powershell -RequiredVersion 2.8.14 -Force -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.ConfigurationMigration -RequiredVersion 1.0.0.64 -Force -AllowClobber -Verbose
displayName: 'Install XRM Modules'

#importdata
- powershell: |
$conn = Get-CrmConnection -ConnectionString "$(ConnectionString)"
$importParams = @{
CrmConnection = $conn
DataFile = "$data.zip"
ConcurrentThreads = "2"
}
Import-CrmDataFile @importParams -EmitLogToConsole -Verbose -ErrorAction Stop
displayName: 'Import data.zip'
timeoutInMinutes: 180

ERROR
Error : The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:02:00. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

Data.zip file doesn't have any huge data, it is just 2 records and interestingly this is importing the records but failing to associate the relationship N:N. This happened in our PRD environment and has had no issues in other downstream environments.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for reaching out! This actually isn't using the module posted here and you're just using XRM tooling (something which has Microsoft support). Import-CrmDataFile has support directly from Microsoft and isn't anything we have coded here in this module. As for what might be causing it to fail - my best advise would be to check out the logs it can provide and see if they might give you some idea about what might be going on.

FYI because XRM tooling is also what all the code here uses to function / when you install this module it also installs XRM tooling.
