There are a number of different behaviors to expect when migrating to a target SharePoint environment that has Quest® StoragePoint installed. The different results you will see depend on which option is selected in the StoragePoint Options tab.
Prerequisites for Migrating StoragePoint Content
You can use Content Matrix to migrate StoragePoint content if Content Matrix detects that StoragePoint version 5.1 or later (or for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, StoragePoint version 6.2 or later) is installed on the target.
For content to be externalized:
·An endpoint must be configured on the target.
NOTE: If you do not have an endpoint configured, content will be migrated directly into SharePoint.
·For a SharePoint 2010 source Database connection, an external connection to StoragePoint must be made.
·For a SharePoint 2013 or later source Database connection, an external SharePoint server connection must be made.
NOTE: Content cannot be externalized if the source is SharePoint 2007.
To allow the migration of large files:
·Large File Support must be enabled in StoragePoint.
·If a source Database connection is used, a Host Name must be set.
·If migrating to SharePoint Online, the Import Pipeline must be used.
NOTE: Use of the Import Pipeline allows you to migrate files over 2 GB. For migrations to SharePoint on premises, you can migrate files up to 2 GB.
·An external connection to StoragePoint must be made.
To make an external connection to StoragePoint (to allow Large File Support):
1.Select the site whose StoragePoint content you want to migrate.
2.Right-click and choose Attach External Connections > StoragePoint Connection.
3.For Host Name when connecting to the StoragePoint database, click [Fill in default URL] to have it auto-populated.
StoragePoint Options - Successful Outcome
·Add documents to StoragePoint if an endpoint is configured - This option is for when content from a non-externalized environment (a source environment that does not have StoragePoint installed) is being migrated into an externalized SharePoint target. In this case, any of the files or documents that are included in the migration will be externalized, meaning that those files and documents will call StoragePoint as they are being migrated, and will be externalized directly with the reference link left behind in the file or document's place (in the target SharePoint environment). Once the migration is complete, users can navigate to one of the migrated documents in Content Matrix, switch to the Items View, right-click the document, and then select StoragePoint Details. Here, users should be able to see the StoragePoint endpoint folder location for the externalized content, as well as the externalized file name. If the document is opened through SharePoint directly, it will open as expected.
·None - This option is for cases where users do not want to use StoragePoint as part of the migration process. When this option is selected, content will be migrated directly into SharePoint with all StoragePoint-related features ignored. However, if the target environment is configured to be externalized with StoragePoint, it is possible that the content will be migrated into the SharePoint target as if the StoragePoint options are ignored, but the target SharePoint environment would then externalize the content separately after the migration completes. While the end result would be the externalization of the data, the migration process itself is only migrating content directly into the SharePoint target.
StoragePoint Options - Unsuccessful Outcome
·Add documents to StoragePoint if an endpoint is configured - If this option failed to migrate the documents/files into StoragePoint, then when users go to the StoragePoint Details, there will be nothing set. This indicates that the files were not placed into the StoragePoint EndPoint and were not externalized.
·None - If this option is selected but fails, then the content migration to the target will have failed. This means that the documents/files that are included in the migration action will not exist on the target (externalized or not).
Content Matrix can migrate Nintex Classic and Responsive forms.
The migration of Nintex forms is supported for Object Model (OM) on premises connections, either local or remote (through the Metalogix Extensions Web Service (MEWS)). Even if you elect to Use Import Pipeline to migrate to SPO, Nintex forms will be migrated to the target using CSOM. |

Prerequisites
·For migrated Nintex forms to be published on a SharePoint on premises target, the SharePoint features Nintex Forms Prerequisites and Nintex Forms for SharePoint List Forms must be activated.
·For Nintex forms to be published on an SPO target, the Nintex Forms for Microsoft 365 app must be deployed.
If prerequisites are not met before migration, the forms will need to be published manually after the features or app is installed on the target.
Current Limitations
·Nintex forms do not migrate for default content types of Asset Libraries.
·The following Nintex Responsive forms controls in SharePoint on premises are not supported in SharePoint Online and will be replaced with label controls on the target:
§SQL Request
§Web Request
§Change Content Type
From the Content Matrix Explorer View, you can "copy" an object from the source connection then "paste" it to the appropriate location on the target connection. You will then be prompted to configure Copy Options.
Before you initiate a migration, it is strongly recommended that you review How Content Matrix Handles Various SharePoint Components.
Content Matrix can migrate SharePoint Site Collections and promote sub-sites into Site Collections. These migrations can be made within the same SharePoint instance, or can be performed between two separate SharePoint instances. Any site can be promoted into a Site Collection in the same way any Site Collection can be copied to become a sub-site. The location in the hierarchy of the target node is what determines if a site will copy as a Site Collection or as a sub-site.
·For migrations to an on premises SharePoint target, an Object Model (OM) level connection must be made with the target environment. NOTE: Due to some User authentication changes that have been made starting with SharePoint 2013, which inadvertently restrict the creation of Site Collections using the SharePoint OM remotely, Content Matrix will use a set of elevated permissions to create Site Collections, which means the migrating user account must explicitly (by name) have "Full Control" permissions on the Web Application that the Site Collection is being created on. A preliminary check will be made before elevation occurs to ensure the migrating user has enough permissions initially to be able to use the elevated Site Collection creation. Creating Site Collections for a SharePoint on premises target with the Local OM connection type does not have this same restriction, but the same permissions are recommended in case elevated permissions are needed. ·For migration to a Microsoft 365 tenant, a Microsoft 365 Tenant connection must be used. |

To initiate a Site Collection migration:
1.In Explorer View, select the source site collection or site that you want to migrate.
2.Right-click and choose Copy Site.
3.Select the target node under which you want to create the site collection.
4.Right-click and choose Paste Site Collection.
The Configure Site Collection Copying Options dialog displays.
Continue with Configuring Copying Options.
