Migrating Connections

In this topic:

Prerequisites and Considerations

  • Connections can be migrated to the target tenant at any time before performing a Workspace migration.
  • A profile must be assigned to the Connection before it can be migrated.
  • Gateways that are used by Connections:
    • must be matched before migrating a Connection.
    • must be in an Online state for a Connection migration.

Starting a Connections Migration Task

  1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have set up multiple organizations.
  2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
  3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
  4. From the Power BI tile on the project dashboard click Open. Then select the Connections tab.
  5. Select a Connection that you want to migrate.
  6. Click Migrate in the List View menu. The New Migrate Connections Task wizard starts.

  7. Migration Options
    1. Default Target Admin User - specify the default target admin user to use for any user that has no match on the target. If a default admin user was configured from the project previously, it will automatically appear in this field.
    2. Privacy Level - select a privacy level from the following options:
      • Organizational - Data from a source with an organizational privacy level is considered to contain organizational data. It can be shared with other organizational data sources, but it won't be shared with external data sources.
      • Private - Data from a source with a private privacy level is considered to be highly sensitive. It won't be shared with any other data source, even if they are within the same organizational boundary.
      • Public - Data from a source with a public privacy level can be shared with other data sources without any restrictions. It's assumed that the data at this level doesn't contain sensitive information.
      • None - all data will be migrated regardless of privacy level.
    3. Incremental migration - select this option to migrate modified or missing data. This option is very helpful in subsequent migrations to keep your migrated data synchronized between source and target tenants.
    4. Click Next.
  8. Schedule
    1. Choose from one of three options to schedule the task. The scheduler will be activated after you complete the task wizard.
      • Run now - task runs immediately.
      • Run later - task must be started manually.
      • Schedule - task will be started at a future date and time entered in the corresponding calendar field.

Migrating Workspaces

In this topic:

Prerequisites

Any Connections that are required by Reports must be migrated before scheduling a Workspace migration.

The Default Target Admin User configured in your Power BI project, is added to migrated Workspaces to ensure that access to migrated Workspaces is retained if a matching administrator account is not available for a migrated Workspace. We recommend that you retain this for safety.

Considerations

Your target tenant might already host Power BI Workspaces created before the migration. In cases where a Workspace name already exists in the destination, the migration will merge report, semantic model and Workspaces permissions data from the source tenant.

We recommend that you run only one migration task at a time to avoid scheduling delays.

Starting a Migrate Workspaces Task

  1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have set up multiple organizations.
  2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
  3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
  4. From the Power BI tile on the project dashboard click Open. Then select the Workspaces tab.
  5. Select one or more Workspace that you want to migrate.

      • Priority - select a priority from the dropdown for the objects scheduled for migration with this task . Values are: Highest, High, Medium, Low and Lowest. The default priority is Medium. If the system is busy, the objects are queued (Migration state = Queued). When the system accepts new migration work, objects are taken from the queue based on the assigned priority and age in the queue.
    2. Click Next.

Troubleshooting

Before you contact Quest support is recommended to prepare organization ID, project ID and task ID

To find Task ID and Project ID

In Events grid right click task link in Task Name column and select Copy link address. Copied link contains the Task ID and the Project ID.

To find organization ID

If you are trying to find an existing On Demand organization ID that another users have created, make sure that they have added your email address under Access Control > Administrators.

  1. In case you are Administrator of the organization, click your account in top right corner to open the account related menu.
  2. Click the organization name. You can see Organization ID in Manage Organization dialog.

Special Cases

Table 1: Special Cases

Feature Event Root cause Workaround
Microsoft Teams Migration Cannot find the group '{Group ID}' on the source. Try to check whether the group exists using PowerShell cmdlet 'Get-UnifiedGroup' as described in the documentation Group associated with the team not found

Use the following PowerShell script and the group ID provided by the error message to get the group name:

Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $UserCredential
Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity "b1552bc6-f932-4ac9-a4f2-24a5d2da2eed" | Format-List DisplayName,Id

If this is a source group, fix your source data before proceed for migration.

If this is a target group, check if this group exists in target. If this group exists, please contact our support. If this group doesn't exist, remove this group associated team from target, and rerun provision and migration.

Finalizing the Migration

Congratulations! The migration is complete.

If you have created a temporary Migration Manager account for the migration as described in the Consents and Permissions topic, it is time to remove it because this account has elevated permissions and could pose security risks.

Removing the temporary account from Teams

The temporary Migration Manager account added to all source and target teams respectively as members or owners, can be removed. To remove the temporary Migration Manager account from the teams and groups use the following script:

  • Remove-Migration-Account-From-Teams

This script can be downloaded here: https://support.quest.com/on-demand-migration/kb/320327

IMPORTANT: To run this script, a user account with the Global Administratorrole is required for the source tenant. For example, you can use the Tenant Administrator account.

Although the Remove-TeamUser command used in the script runs successfully, the Teams application does not reflect the update immediately. The Teams application may need to be open for up to an hour before changes are reflected.
