Migrating an eRoom as a SharePoint Site Collection
For eRoom deployments that contain all types of content (documents, calendars, discussion lists, and databases), you can migrate facilities, rooms, and folders as SharePoint site collections.
NOTE: For deployments that contain all types of content (documents, calendars, discussion lists, and databases), almost exclusively contain documents, the logical SharePoint equivalent is to migrate them as a Document Library.

When migrating to SharePoint Site Collections on a SharePoint 2013 or later target, only a Local Object Model (Local OM) connection can be used. This is due to some User authentication changes that have been made in beginning with SharePoint 2013, which inadvertently restrict the creation of Site Collections using the SharePoint OM remotely (i.e. the Remote Extensions Web Service connection). While these changes affect Remote OM connections, they do not affect Local OM connections. For more information on this specific issue, please see the SharePoint Site Collection Creation Issues in the Frequently Asked Questions section. |

Importing Jobs from Xml Using PowerShell
You can import jobs that have been previously exported to xml using PowerShell.
To access the PowerShell cmdlets for connecting to SharePoint:
Open a PowerShell or PowerShell ISE session and add the PowerShell snap-ins for the application framework.
To import jobs from an xml file:
1.Select (from the PowerShell ISE Command Window) or enter Load-JobXml.
2.Select or enter the applicable parameters. Use the information in the following table for guidance.
|
Parameter |
Notes |
|---|---|
|
XmlFilePath (Required) |
The path to the xml file containing the job(s) you want to import. |
|
ImportDuplicate (Optional) |
If you use this parameter and the job already exists in the Jobs Database, it will be imported with a new Job ID. If you omit this parameter and the job already exists in the Jobs Database, it will not be imported. For an xml file that contains multiple jobs, only those that are not in the Jobs Database will be imported. If trace logging is enabled, the detail will be logged in the file MetalogixGlobalLog.txt. |
Example Scripts with Results:
With ImportDuplicate parameter
Load-JobXml -XmlFilePath C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\MigrateToSPO.xml -ImportDuplicate
6 job(s) successfully imported out of a total of 6 job(s), in 0m 0s
Without ImportDuplicate parameter
Load-JobXml -XmlFilePath C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\MigrateToSPO.xml
4 job(s) successfully imported out of a total of 6 job(s), in 0m 0s
Migrating All eRoom Items into an Existing SharePoint Site
In some cases, you may want to migrate all of the content from an eRoom container into SharePoint without creating a new site in the process, or without having to copy each type of eRoom content separately. For these types of scenarios you would use the Paste eRoom Container Special > All Items option. This option will paste all the contents of the eRoom container into the root of an existing SharePoint site.
Depending on the selected options, all nested content will also be migrated as SharePoint lists. These lists will be created directly beneath the selected SharePoint target location, regardless of whether the eRoom container was the top level container or not. If an eRoom container other than a folder contains attachments, then a SharePoint site using the Blank Site template, with a Document Library to hold the attachments, will also be created.
To initiate the migration of all eRoom items into an existing SharePoint list:
1.In Explorer View, select the eRoom or eRoom folder to be migrated.
2.Right-click and choose Copy eRoom Container.
3.Select the target SharePoint parent site.
4.Right-click and choose Paste eRoom Container Special > All Items
5.Continue with Configuring Copying Options.
