About Provision and Migration states
Use the Provision state and Migration state columns in the SharePoint Contents list view to determine the state of any SharePoint object in the migration process.
Provision state
Use the provision state property to track the object itself. When the object is added to On Demand its state is Discovered. When discovered you can trigger a migration:
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Discovered | SharePoint objects have been found in the source tenant. |
| Matched | a SharePoint object in the source tenant has been matched with a corresponding SharePoint object in the target tenant. |
| Provisioned | On Demand has created (updated) the SharePoint object (site, web, list, users and groups) on the target without warnings or errors. You are now ready to track the Provision state. |
| Provisioned with issues | On Demand has created (updated) the object with warnings or errors. See Warnings and errors. |
Migration state
Use the Migration state property to track the progress of migrating the SharePoint object's content. Note that the Migration state value is transient (may change) while the task status is in progress.
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Not Migrated | On Demand has not migrated the content. This is the default Migration state when the provision state is Discovered. |
| Migrating | On Demand is migrating the object content. |
| Migrated | On Demand has successfully migrated the content to the target without warning or errors. If the object is a list then all the list items have migrated successfully. If the object is a SharePoint site or web (root site) then all the child lists and webs have migrated successfully. |
| Partially Migrated | While a migration task is in progress, partially migrated can be a transitory state showing at least one child is migrating or not migrated. Once the migration task is complete, partially migrated indicates that not all children of the object migrated: at least one child migrated and at least one child did not migrate. |
| Migrated with Issues | On Demand has migrated the content to the target with warnings or errors. See Warnings and errors. |
The transient nature of the Provision and Migration states during migration
When migrating a site the web and list, the task state changes to Complete when the web or list provision state is set to Provisioned. This is expected behavior in the current implementation. It indicates that the sub task to provision the object is complete. The Migration state will not change to Migrated until the child content is migrated
When migrating a site or web, the Migration state may be set to Migrated and then reset to Partially migrated. This will typically happen for a site that had not had the SharePoint content discovery run before migration is started. In this case the migration is discovering content to migrate as it goes along. The Migration state is set to Migrating when the migration completes what it has discovered so far, then it looks for more and resets to partially migrating, repeating until all content is discovered and migrated. It discovers lists in a web in groups (not all at once) and then it discovers any sub sites after the lists are done.
Reviewing results from the list view with filters
Once the migration task is complete, locate objects where Provision state = Provisioned with issues or Migration state = Migrated with issues using a flat view of the objects and filtering.
To see all SharePoint objects in the SharePoint contents list view
- Remove the Type:Site filter.
To filter the list view to see all SharePoint objects with issues with provisioning
- Set the Provision state filter to Provisioned with Issues. You can filter further by setting a filter on an object Type.
To filter the list view to see objects with issues with the migration
- Set the Provision state filter to Migrated with Issues. You can filter further by setting a filter on an object Type. The smallest object type where migration issues will be found is List.
Review using the SharePoint content view
- When the migration task is complete, locate objects in the SharePoint list view by setting the following filters:
- Provision state = Provisioned with issues
-or-
- Migration state = Migrated with issues
- Provision state = Provisioned with issues
- From the SharePoint contents tab
- Select the object so the row is highlighted and the details pane opens to the right of the screen.
- From the details pane click Show Contents
- Continue following the webs into the site structure until you see
- an object where the Provision state = Provisioned with Issues, or
- a list where the Migration state = Migrated with Issues
- From the details pane click Show Parent to return upward through the hierarchy.
Warnings and errors
To see the warnings and errors for a given object
From the SharePoint contents tab
- Highlight the object to open the details pane on the right.
- From the details pane click Events.
To see the number of list items on the source
From the SharePoint contents tab
- Highlight the list object to see the details pane on the right.
- The details pane provides a count of the number of the list items for this list on the source.
