After you run the exportpromotionrule utility, an output file is created in the destination you have specified in the utility command. The output file is an XML file, that contains the extracted Promotion Rules data. This file has a specific structure that must be adhered to, or else import fails.
Consider the following when making changes to the output file:
When creating a new rule that you want to apply to multiple Promotion rules, it is recommended that you add the Promotion rule in the Tools section, as described in Promotion rules. This serves as a template in which you export using the utility. You can then copy the rule to the Promotion rules output file which you have exported. This ensures that you have the right structure of the rule, and prevents errors.
After exporting the promotion rule, check the SourceName and TargetName to ensure they are correct. The SourceName and TargetName cannot exceed 100 characters.
The description must not exceed the limit of 4000 characters.
