SFDMU Overview

Advanced features

Use case.

Creating scratch, dev, or sandbox organizations in Salesforce is quick and simple, but these newly created orgs only come with metadata, lacking the real data critical for developing and debugging applications. Traditionally, loading data manually for each new org using tools like Salesforce Data Loader is inefficient, especially since data can be imported directly from production or another sandbox.

Often, the challenge is not just importing data but modifying specific records or fields within a complex data model with many dependencies. Additionally, maintaining a clean data model without adding external ID fields to SObjects requires creative solutions for updating records in your developer org.

A significant issue arises with the inconsistent IDs across environments when populating the RecordtypeId field. Currently, there's no effective tool for inserting and updating dependent objects based on a unique field used as an External ID. Typically, developers resort to using Excel to manage source tables, which can be cumbersome and error-prone for even a small number of objects.

The SFDX Data Move Utility (SFDMU) offers a viable solution for these challenges.
