 When are you all going to fix the data migration? Why do we even have this option if it does NOT transfer ALL data to new install. This has been this way for a long time and really is a pain. And please don't tell me it works, cause it only partially works.
"Data migration is the process of transferring data between storage types, formats, or computer systems. Data migration is usually performed pro-grammatically to achieve an automated migration, freeing up human resources from tedious tasks."

Could you explain me what wrong with migration script? PS: If possible do not write me personally, please try to ask on the forum first |
Well I tried to migrate from main site to new install of D7.0.5 and is still same, I get some data but not all, polls,articles..ect.. No avatars as well as no photos,videos,ect. Just members info only. Its not a big issue, was just checking to see if it ever got fixed, and it is still the same as always. But if we ever wanted to move our site from root to a folder, we will have to hand move a lot of the sql files ourselves. It should migrate ALL data including videos,avatars,music,polls...ect...

LW, the answer to that inquiry, as to what if you wanted to move your site from root to a directory, essentially its not really the same. if you want to move from root to a subdirectory, and you have access to a 'control panel' such as cPanel, then you can do a select all, and compress those files, then create your desired locale where you wish to move to, move the compressed file into the newly created directory, and extract into that directory. you will then of course need to edit the /inc/header.inc.php file to set the paths correctly. then the site will load in that subdirectory. i know this was just a for instance, but since you asked, thought i would provide the answer.
the migration for an upgrade is totally not the same as moving a site from directory to directory, or from server to server for that matter.

Well I figured it would be easier for newbies to install fresh Dolphin in folder then import data from root Dolphin and migrate that way. Wasn't really talking about upgrading per-say. Like I said before this not really important to me and I didn't expect a answer..lol Just trying to figure out why it has the options to move data such as polls,videos,photos..ect if nothing comes through? And some that do like avatars are in the right folders yet do not display on site..lol You possess an intuitive intelligence so powerful it can help you heal, and relieve stress. |
