Question

I need to migrate Custom Metadata type using a package.xml.

Can someone please let me know what should I put to get the metadata along with data successfully get migrated? Suppose Custom Metadata type name is Call_Duration_Zip_abv__mdt.

Answer 1

From the Document

A custom metadata type is defined as a custom object and is stored in the objects folder. Custom metadata types have a suffix of __mdt (instead of __c for custom objects). Custom metadata type field names have a suffix of __c, like other custom fields. Custom metadata type field names must be dot-qualified with the name of the custom metadata type to which they belong.

This excerpt from a package.xml file shows the use of dot notation and the __mdt suffix. If you’re using a namespace, for example picklist1234,​ the full name of ReusablePicklistOption__mdt would be picklist1234​__ReusablePicklistOption__mdt.
