Release Notes
February 2021
These release notes provide information about the latest Metalogix® Content Matrix release.
Version 9.3 of Metalogix Content Matrix introduces the following features:
·Content Matrix supports Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019.
·The Content Matrix Console client application requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 to run.
·Support for the migration of Publishing sites to Communication sites has been added.
·You can convert classic pages to modern pages from within Content Matrix using a solution provided by the PnP Community.
·Support for the migration of classic web parts via the Import Pipeline has been added. (Refer to the SharePoint Edition user documentation for a complete list of supported web parts.)
·An option has been added to the Connect to SharePoint dialog which allows you to connect to an Office 365 tenant that uses a custom domain with OAuth authentication.
·Azure private container naming conventions have been implemented to make it easier to identify and delete containers and queues created by Content Matrix during migrations that use the Import Pipeline.
·The following enhanced security practices have been implemented (which include practices that comply with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)):
§Users have the option to encrypt a connection to a SQL Server database.
§An option has been added to installer which will allow users to run Content Matrix without being a local Administrator on the machine where it is installed.
§Content Matrix now validates certificates used when making on-premises SSL/TLS connections to SharePoint.
NOTE: For self-signed certificates, this validation must be disabled in order to make the connection. Refer to the topic "Connecting with Certificates" in the applicable edition of the Content Matrix user documentation for details.
§Content Matrix no longer stores the Azure Private Connection String for migrations using the Import Pipeline. Going forward, a user is required to enter the connection string for each new migration job that uses Azure private containers.
§Okta authentication is supported for SharePoint on-premises connections.
§GCC High Tenant connections and migrations are supported. (Refer to the SharePoint Edition user documentation for limitations.)
·Migration of Nintex Responsive forms from SharePoint 2016 to SharePoint Online is now supported.
·The Nintex provisioning certificate has been replaced, with a certificate that is valid from 29/09/2020 to 29/09/2023.
·You can now generate a Support zip file from a Distributed Migration agent machine.
·When connecting to a SharePoint database from a server machine, the database must have the same version of SharePoint as the content being migrated.
·Simplified Mode has been removed from the Configure Copy Options dialog.
·The option to send an email notification upon job completion has been removed.
·The Metalogix Metabase ( which was formerly used in SharePoint Edition to temporarily store data used for Transformations and Distributed Migration) has been removed.
