Mapping Links for Link Correction
Metalogix Content Matrix can correct eRoom Link objects that are migrated as items in a SharePoint Links list. If these links point to an internal location they will be corrected to the new target location as part of a migration. Metalogix Content Matrix can also correct links in column data within document libraries and lists.
When content is migrated from eRoom to SharePoint, Metalogix Content Matrix will create a SharePoint list called MigrationSourceURLs, with a column called MigrationSourceURL, and will place the URL for that eRoom container into this field. The MigrationSourceURLs list will store the source URL data for the eRoom containers that are migrated, and the MigrationSourceURL column will hold the actual URL value. A TargetURL column will also be added to the list, for the migration target URL. This way, users can see the source and target URLs for the eRoom links.
Initiating a Migration
From the Metalogix Content Matrix Explorer View, you can "copy" an object from the source connection then "paste" it to the appropriate location on the target connection. You will then be prompted to configure Copy Options.
Migrating an eRoom Container as a SharePoint Document Library
For eRoom deployments that almost exclusively contain documents, the logical SharePoint equivalent is to migrate them as a SharePoint Document Library. While Document Libraries cannot contain other sites or list types, they are the simplest user construct for document management
NOTE: For deployments that contain all types of content (documents, calendars, discussion lists, and databases), other migration options are available.
To initiate an "eRoom as a SharePoint Document Library" migration:
1.In Explorer View, navigate to the eRoom or eRoom folder you want to migrate.
2.Right-click and choose the Copy eRoom Container.
3.Select the SharePoint site under which you want to create the Document Library.
4.Right-click and choose Paste eRoom Container > As Document Library.
5.Continue with Configuring Copying Options.
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. |
