SMART Migration Job

Discovery, Pre-Migration, Migration, Validation

Each «SMART Migration Job» is a FOLDER. The Proxies and sub folders within defines the job content and becomes the job result when migration is executed.

Section	Description
Discovery	Parameters for what source files to include when creating the Proxy Files)
Migration	Parameters for processing the Proxy Files. In PreMigration no files are migrated.
Result	The outcome of latest job run
Validate migrated files	Check the existence and metadata of the source and destination files

*Tip: To simplify, it is suggested to create distinct jobs for Discovery and cut/copy/paste the proxies to other jobs where the Pre-Migration, Migration, and Validation tasks can be executed.

You can organize jobs in your own structure, just cut/copy/paste.

Content actions	What you may do with the Proxy files
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete	Reorganize – content. Move freely around within multiple models. Create new folders Copy same content to multiple locations or jobs Delete files or folders Tip: It is recommended to place files you want to exclude into your own folder for example in the root of the Library, otherwise the deleted proxies will be recreated when you rerun the discovery job for incremental discovery.
Rename	Fix naming mistakes. Make new or revised naming conventions in collaboration amongst the people in each content owner group.
Classification	Set metadata of all data types.) Content-Type Note: Content-Types must have been provisioned to the destination prior to migration User, Text, Choice, Numeric, Date Lookup Managed Metadata
Permissions	You may set permission on folders and individual files. Note: Referenced SharePoint groups and custom permission levels must exist with the same names on the destination prior to migration.

!The columns Job status and Job Scheduled Date defines when the job will be processed. So, when updating the job for a rerun it is important to understand that the job will be processed immediately when set to Ready. Please note that the zim

Discovery

Discover what files are in a given FileShare or SharePoint Document Library and create a Proxy Document Library item in the Job folder as a representation for each source file .

*Each File Proxy is an empty file that represents the real file. It has properties that describe the real file such as location, Modified date etc.

When you rerun a Discovery then any new file is created as Proxy and for existing files the Proxy properties such as Modified are updated.

Filters you can specify
[Modified] From/To
[File size] From/To
[Files To Include] defines multiple wildcards like *.Docx;abc*.* that will include files of type docx and any file file beginning with abc [Files Groups To Include] Refers to lists of wildcards specified in Value mapping in SMART Migration

Discovery form SharePoint
File proxies are created WITHOUT the source file version history. Note: When the file i migrated you can choose to include the version history.)
Metadata is mapped from the the source library into the model library using the column [Source Metadata Mapping] AutoMapAllColumns (the default) automatically maps source library columns to the Model columns based on the column display name. To override the column mapping make column assignments like below: [Content Type]=Invoice [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol] [MyTargetCol]=xyz (To extend include AutoMapAllColumns as first line) Force individual columns NOT to be assigned by using this syntax: [MyTargetCol]=Skip! Specify a default value to handle empty source columns using this syntax: [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol];#Default:My value ManagedMetadata, Lookup and ContentType is resolved by label. Each assignment must be on a separate line.

Pre-Migration

Test the migration setup to see if there are any issues prior to migration. Any file issue like unmapped user name is reported to the Issues list.

No content is migrated during Pre-Migration. Use this job to make sure you have the right setup prior to executing the actual migration.

* Tip: Use this job to populate the list User and Group Mappings with user names from the source ShrarePoint that do not exist in your destination and maybe needs to be mapped to an existing user.

The issues that can happen include
Invalid user name assigned to user columns like [CreatedBy] and [ModifiedBy]. Use the list to map source users to destination users
Wrong Destination URL
Permissions: SharePoint groups or permission level does not exist with the same name on the destination
Dynamically mapped metadata columns do not exist

*Tip: It is recommended to place files you want to exclude into your own folder for example in the root of the Model Library, otherwise the deleted proxies will be recreated when you rerun the job for incremental discovery.

The job runs incrementally and each source file is only created once in the Model document library by the DiscoveryJob. So if the same FileProxy exists in a different folder, for example in a MigrationJob the the file is skipped.

SharePoint source
File proxies are created WITHOUT the source file version history. When the file i migrated you can choose to include the version history.
Metadata is mapped from the the source library into the model library using the column [ModelMetadataMapping] AutoMapAllColumns (the default) automatically maps source library columns to the MigratonModel columns based on the column display name. You can override or extend by adding AutoMapAllColumns with column assignments like: [Content Type]=Invoice [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol] [MyTargetCol]=xyz You can force individual columns NOT to be assigned by using this syntax: [MyTargetCol]=Skip! You can specify a default value to handle empty source columns using this syntax: [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol];#MyDefaultValue ManagedMetadata, Lookup and ContentType is resolved by label. Each assignment must be on a separate line.

Duplicates detection only on FileShare source. Notice it will take some time to calculate the checksum.

Columns	Description
[MatadataMapping]	Set SharePoint metadata values. AutoMapAllColumns (the default) automatically maps source columns to target columns based on the column display name. You can override or extend by adding AutoMapAllColumns with column assignments like: [Content Type]=Invoice [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol] [MyTargetCol]=xyz You can force individual columns NOT to be assigned by using this syntax: [MyTargetCol]=Skip! You can specify a default value to handle empty source columns using this syntax: [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol];#MyDefaultValue ManagedMetadata, Lookup and ContentType is resolved by label. Each assignment must be on a separate line.
[ReMigrate]	Is yes, the file will be migrated regardless of timestamp. Use this setting to forcefully remigrate a file.

Version history column mapping:
If columns in the model are mapped to the destination and the same column exists in the SharePoint source then the version history is automatically copied.

The latest [Modified] and [ModifiedBy] values are retrieved dynamically from the SharePoint source file at migration time.

[SourceFileTextModifiedBy] in combination with [ValidateDestinationFileModifiedBy] to build the user mapping list within SMART Migration that will be used to map user names at migration time.
