MCMS Systems

MCMS postings and resources can be imported and migrated when using Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition. In order for this to be possible Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition must be installed on the same machine as the MCMS server.

Visual HTML content based analysis and extraction

Using the tools within Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition, it is possible to select and isolate any visual content within a HTML page. This gives a greater flexibility in selection of content, that can be used during a migration.

A completely searchable and filterable List View

You can filter any column property in or out, do a search for a word, a phrase, a file name, or a file type. Any content can be found using the search and filter tools, from one item to a group of items.

A completely extensible actions framework

Aside from the out-of-box set of Actions, the Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition actions framework allows for custom actions (see Custom Action integration) to be added. There is no limit for the number of custom actions that can be added to the framework, giving the application a greater flexibility.

Import and Export of CSV files for editing purposes

CSV files can be imported or exported for the purposes of editing, or adding content to a migration. A typical use, would be to export some content to a CSV file, send it to it's department and let that department make any necessary changes, and then import it back into the workspace with the updated material.

Comprehensive logging of all migrations

Log files are created and stored for all migrations. These files give a breakdown of all actions that took place during a migration.

Command line execution

Command Line execution is possible with Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition. Whether the options are selected in the UI or through the command line, the running of the actual migration can be done through the command line.

User Mapping Across Active Directory Domains

Limited Script crawling (JavaScript, Flash, Active X, VB script)

Certain types of script can be crawled and migrated by Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition. While there are a few different types of Script languages that can be migrated (JavaScript, Active X, Flash, etc.), Migration Manager for SharePoint - Website Edition only supports Client Side Script. Any script that can be interacted with on a page, is not supported.

Metadata

You can copy documents and many types of list items to a target machine that does not have the Metalogix service installed, but the four edit information fields will not be preserved. The four edit information fields are: Created: The date and time that the list item was created. Modified: The date and time that the list item was last modified. Created By: The user who created the list item. Modified By: The user who last modified the list item.

All interactions with SharePoint are remote

All standard interactions with SharePoint are done remotely, however, if the Metalogix Extension Service is used then some interactions with SharePoint are done through the Object model, which is local through the SharePoint site.

SharePoint Content Type editor

The SharePoint Content Type editor allows for content types to be created and edited within the workspace and within SharePoint. These content types can then be migrated to a target site.

Automated SharePoint site hierarchy creation

Creates a base for a SharePoint site hierarchy. This hierarchy can then be built upon, giving a greater range and flexibility to any site creation actions within SharePoint.

Content editor and Summary links Web parts

Content within Content Editor and Summary link Web parts can be migrated. In order for proper migration these Web parts must be manually installed on the target system/server.

Custom template support and mapping

Custom templates can be used during the migration. Before beginning your migration, please ensure that your custom template has been manually moved to your target site. Once there you can migrate and map content to the custom template.
