Background

When we move the Drupal 7 workflow information from the old site to the new site we need to keep the information intact and accurate. To do this, we need a plan which will account for:

Consideration

Challenges

Ideas

User Accounts Should Be The Same

  • Drupal 8 User Account Migration

  • If we don’t import the User Accounts from the old website to the new website, then the users will be logging in with different accounts. Is it possible to import users from one instance to another?

  • How does the database backend for the Workflow system associate information with User Accounts? If we import user accounts, will this change an internal unique identifier such that the Workflow data no longer lines up correctly with User Accounts?

Date / Times Should Be The Same

  • We can’t hand enter this data, as it will have different dates/times.

  • Is there a migration tool for this?

  • Can we do this with direct SQL?

Workflow Action Notes Should Be The Same

  • We should ensure these get brought across to the new website.

  • If we can figure out the Date / Times, we should be able to figure out this, right?

If we import the data into the new site, but continue to use the old site for a bit longer, we should also have a plan to keep the audit/decision information synced between the two.

  • How can we sync these?

Steps to Perform the Migration
