·SQL Server 2019

·A SQL Server hosted in Azure

NOTES:  

§While it is possible to run Content Matrix on an earlier version of SQL Server, support cannot be guaranteed.

§The use of SQL CE in a production environment is discouraged because of the following limitations:

·It uses a single .lst file that is less robust and reliable and may be corrupted after the database reaches 4 GB.

·Data compression is not supported.

·Support for large objects is limited.

·Microsoft support for SQL CE has ended.

If you still want to use SQL CE, then SQL Server Compact 4.0 must be installed on the machine.  You can download a copy from Microsoft.

Windows PowerShell

Metalogix Content Matrix Console has the ability to run migrations using a pre-configured PowerShell console, provided that PowerShell Version 3.0 or later is installed prior to Metalogix Content Matrix.

.NET Framework

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Since this .NET requirement applies to the machine on which Metalogix Content Matrix is installed, Metalogix Content Matrix cannot make a local Object Model (OM) connection on a SharePoint 2007 or 2010 environment, because SharePoint 2007 and 2010 require an earlier version of the .NET Framework (v.3.5), which prohibits Metalogix Content Matrix from completing the connection.  Because of this, any migration ‘jobs’ configured to connect to SharePoint 2007 and 2010 environments using a Local OM connection type will cease to work, and these jobs will need to be recreated for use over a different adapter type such as MEWS or DB.

Installing User

The user account installing on a SharePoint server, will require Local Administrator permissions on the local machine.

NOTE:  The user account that is installing on a client machine only needs permissions to install a client application. Metalogix Content Matrix Installer will attempt to elevate permissions as part of the installation process.

Application Pool Accounts

If connecting to a remote, on premises instance of SharePoint the Metalogix Extensions Web Service can be used (for SharePoint 2007 or later). This is a SharePoint solution file that is installed and will use the Application pool user account.

Connecting/Migrating Users

Permissions for connecting to SharePoint and migrating content vary, depending on the type of connection being made and the content being migrated.  See User Account Access Requirements for details.
