MOSS 2007 Content Migration

Content Migration is an important aspect in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. This allows Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 application to be upgraded to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 publishing sites. But before you do the actual migration, review the Accessing and Analyzing Your MCMS 2002 Application for Migration article. If you have a fairly large MCMS application with technically complex architecture then you might want to consider running the CMS Assessment Tool to give you an idea of the level of work required to migrate MCMS site to MOSS 2007.

The actual migration bit is explained in detail in Planning MCMS 2002 Application Migration to SharePoint Server 2007 article. Make sure that the account used in the migration profile is a local administrator on the box and has the following permissions on both the databases involved (the MCMS backed up database and MOSS content database):

· public

· db_datareader

· db_datawriter

· db_ddladmin

If you are a developer then the SharePoint Server 2007 for MCMS 2002 Developers article will serve as a wonderful reference. Mapping MCMS 2002 APIs to SharePoint 2007 gives a good insight into the APIs offered in MOSS that can be made us of to provide MCMS specific functionality.
