Navigation: How Content Matrix Handles Various SharePoint Components > Content Types Migration |
Metalogix Content Matrix can migrate content types at the site and list level. Copying of content types is done as part of a normal copy, or they can be copied separately (at the site level) using the context (right-click) menu.
When Content Matrix copies over content types at the site level they will be copied to the target site with the same name and fields that they had on the source. All content types that are available within the scope of the migration will be copied. In other words, all content types within the selected source site, as well as all the content types that exist within any sub-sites, will be copied. Metalogix Content Matrix will also copy any content types that the source site inherits from its parent site. The copying of these inherited content types is done in order to maintain any dependencies that may exist.
For example, let's look at a scenario where you have a site (Site 1) that has a parent site (Site 0) and two child sites at the same level (Site 2-a and Site 2-b), and all of these sites have content types. In this example, if you select Site 1 and copy content types, when pasted Metalogix Content Matrix will copy over all the content types from Site 1, Site 2-a, and Site 2-b, and it will also copy over all of the content types from Site 0, in case there are any dependencies. If you select Site 2-a to copy from, then it will only copy over the content types from Site 2-a, Site 1, and Site 0 (again because of the inheritance). But the content types from Site 2-b would not be copied since it is outside the scope of the copy, and there is no inheritance. If Site 0 is selected, then Metalogix Content Matrix would copy over all the content types for all four sites.
If you are copying at the list level and the list uses any content types that are not available on the target site, Content Matrix will automatically create them on the site during the migration and apply them to the list. For content types that are specific to the list (i.e., they were created using an STP template), the content types will be migrated along with the list.

Navigation: How Content Matrix Handles Various SharePoint Components > Document Version and Checked Out File Limitations |
At least one Approved version of a folder or file (that is, version 1.0 at a minimum) must have been published for it to be migrated. If only a Pending ("draft") version of a folder or file exists on the source, it will not be migrated to the target. As long as at least one Approved version exists, subsequent Pending versions will be migrated.
If a file on the source is currently checked out, the last checked in copy of the file will be migrated.
If no checked in copy exists (which may be the case if the list's Versioning setting Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? is set to Yes, then a file is uploaded but is never checked in), the file will not migrate.
Navigation: How Content Matrix Handles Various SharePoint Components > Ghosted and Un-Ghosted Page Migration |
Metalogix Content Matrix can migrate the following types of pages:
·Ghosted page - A page whose contents are not stored in the content database but are read from a site definition file; a page that has not been customized.
NOTE: When ghosted pages are migrated they will remain ghosted.
·Un-ghosted page - A page that has been modified from the site definition file, and whose contents are stored in the content database. (These are also known as "customized" pages in Microsoft Office SharePoint Services (MOSS) 2007).
NOTES:
§If un-ghosted pages are migrated between the same version of SharePoint, un-ghosted pages can have their customizations preserved, and be migrated as un-ghosted pages.
§If un-ghosted pages are migrated between different versions of SharePoint, Metalogix Content Matrix is unable to retain the customizations needed for un-ghosted pages, and will reattach these pages to their page layouts. Once these pages have become ghosted, manual steps would have to be taken in order for them to become un-ghosted again.

When migrating between the same version of SharePoint, the Reattach Publishing Page Layouts option on the Configure Copy Options List Content Options tab allows you to convert un-ghosted pages back into ghosted pages, When selected, un-ghosted pages will be reattached to their page layout, and become ghosted again.
NOTE: When you copy un-ghosted pages between different version of SharePoint, this option is disabled because the conversion is done automatically.
