Add company from bacpac - Sage 200 Online only

Use this to add a company from a bacpac, for example, Demo data for Sage 200 Online.

Why a bacpac and not a backup?

Unlike a standard SQL backup, a bacpac stores information about the server level objects in the database schema - tables, views, instance objects and so on - as well as the data that is held inside the database.

If you have a company data set that has been created on a local SQL Server and you want to add this data to the Windows Azure Server, you must:

  1. Ccreate a bacpac from the local SQL Server data set.
  2. Upload the bacpac to Windows Azure, using Sage ERP Online Services.
  3. Use this option in to add company from bacpac.

Once you have added a company from a bacpac, you then need to assign users to the company. If you allow online payments, you must assign a vendor account for the company.

Open: System Administration > Companies.

  1. Right-click Companies and choose Add New Company from Bacpac.
