Custom Lists with Versioning Enabled Not Being Migrated When Using the Import Pipeline
Question
Why is it that, after a migration using the Import Pipeline, some lists with versioning enabled do not appear on the target?
Answer
By default, lists with a base type of CustomList (such as Announcements) are excluded when Content Matrix must resubmit a batch that initially failed to migrate in its entirety (because if they are included, duplicate items may be migrated to the target). These types of lists can be included via the environmentsettings.xml key RetryBatchForCustomListWithVersions)
NOTE: If custom lists are excluded from batch resubmissions and all items are not successfully migrated, you can migrate any outstanding items using incremental migration.
Supported Nintex Actions for SPO Migration
Question
What are the supported Nintex actions that are available when migrating from SharePoint on premises to SharePoint Online?
Answer
The following table lists the supported Nintex actions that are available when migrating from SharePoint on premises to SharePoint Online.
NOTE: The following actions are supported, but not all their parameters will necessarily have a SharePoint Online equivalent. Make sure to review migrated Nintex workflows to ensure that they migrated as expected. Also ensure that actions requiring user interaction (such as Assign Flexi Task, Send Notification, etc.) have user mappings properly configured during migration.
