I am working on Moss 2007 site migration to Sp 2013 site.. both are publishing site. I have create VMs and using thrid party tool Share Gate, I wanted to know any one has done migration using third party tool succesfully. I wanted to copy the customisation of my clients also in this migration.
Hey saw the comment about Sharegate and just wanted to clarify.
Sharegate is not a straight copy and paste at all, yes it can do that as well but it allows you to re-organize and re-map properties along with many other features I don’t want to necessarily start mentioning here.
Sharegate also migrates InfoPath forms as well as custom aspx pages made with SharePoint Designer (Custom Views, Forms or anything really with the DataView Web Part)
However Sharegate does not migrate custom development just like many others I am sure. But as always, it depends what the custom development is.
Otherwise feel free to always contact Sharegate directly, we are always keen to help out 🙂 We have tons of documentation and how-to videos of 3min each http://en.share-gate.com/support
Happy Holidays!
Mukund – Here is my take on this:
1) Metalogix – Great tool for re-organising before migration. Will not copy over custom .aspx pages so will require some significant re-configuratin of custom sites.
2) ShareGate – Seems to do a straight copy and paste.
I also just wrote this blog post on migrating InfoPath froms, not exactly technical but may help!
And they said it couldn’t be done, well that was the word out on the internet. In fact, it said it can be done but get ready for a lot of pain. And they were right.
However this morning I managed to get some rather complex forms migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2013 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 setup. Couple of things that may help in your quest.
- Ensure Infopath form services is setup correctly via central admin.
- Make sure you have the state service running (This one really got me, run it via powershell).
- Ensure you have the customer experience feature activated from where ever you are deploying from. (I did mine from the SQL server, long story but hey ho, mans got to do what a mans go to do).
- Re-configure all data connections in the form, where possible. Im still having some fun with the people picker.
- Make sure you are deploying to the correct location!
- URL Not found? IIS will tell you access denied. Make sure you have permissions on the library and that Infopath has signed you in correctly!
Hope this helps, I’ll add more as they come 
We have done a migration from MOSS 2007 site to SP 2013 using ShareGate. We were able to divide the site collection in 2007 as needed into separate collections in 2013. We did have remove some webparts that did we were using in 2007 that won’t work in 2013… such as Easy Tabs and a color calendar solution that used calculated columns and a text to HTML webpart.
Not sure exactly what you’re looking for.
Well, probably it is better to move this question to IT-Pro forum.
Yea, we have done these kind of migration. Yes, both db attach-bla-bla and 3rd part tooling. Yes, is depends in case you have “custom developed solutions” in farm. So, what’s next?
