Used Kentico Migration Toolkit...now what?

2025/01/29 12:03 AM

I used the migration toolkit to migrate data from a Kentico 12 PE instance -> Xperience by Kentico.

If I understood correctly based on previous conversations, the easiest way to get the data from its standalone new instance of XbK to my in-progress XbK working solution is using Continuous Integration functionality, by serializing and deserializing the data into my working solution, correct?

I did not see this step specifically outlined anywhere but I may have just missed it.

Beyond the obvious, are there any other considerations that need to be made with this process?

Environment

  • Xperience by Kentico version: [30.0.0]
  • .NET version: [8]
  • Execution environment: [SaaS, but local dev for now]

That is correct, although be aware that depending on what all things you're migrating, it may be better to just pull down a copy of your production, run the migration toolkit on that, and then push that back up. That may not be possible in all cases though.

The tool is meant to be able to continually push (update and create) content items, so you can run the tool multiple times, which may help in testing.
