Migrate Project between Instances

DerivcoITServer

Hi,

We are trying to migrate selected projects using the Project Configurator plugin where the user base is connected to the same Active Directory however the usernames are configured differently on both instances. On the source instance the username are the SamAccount Name of the user while on the destination instance the username is the Email address of the same user. 

How do we go about making use of the Project Configurator plugin to successfully migrate the projects between both these instances?

We can assume that every user that was part of the project on the Source instance has already used the Destination instance, so they have active accounts.

There would then have to be some sort of data transformation that would need to occur to update the SamAccount names to Email addresses in the exported file from the Source instance. 

There are 3 files in the export.

1) config.xml

2) data/ativeobjects.xml

3) data/entities.xml

Is there a proposed approach on how we should go about updating the data in the file above ?  There are not only usernames but also Ids in these files.

 

We are only concerned about the data shared with the projects we are migrating. See export configuration below:

 

Your assistance would be much appreaciated.

Hi Avinash,

I would suggest changing temporarily the LDAP mappings in one of the instances so that the usernames are equal in both instances. This change would only need to be in place at the moment of exporting (at the source) or when importing (if you choose to change it at the target).

Cheers!
