We have a migration project from one salesforce org to a new salesforce org. We have migrated all the configuration and data. Now the client wants to know whether the history data (accountHistory, CaseHistory, contactHistory etc) can be migrated. I tried the dataloader and was able to export the history data, as shown in figure 1, but when I tried the import (Insert) all the history related objects disappeared. Any solution to that? and if not, any particular reason why the history cant be moved?
Best Answer
yes, history cannot be created since AccountHistory, CaseHistory and ContactHistory doest't support create() operation. See the following docs for more information. Account History SOAP API Contact History SOAP API Case History SOAP API
Your best bet will to create a custom object and store history information in it.
