Migration: File Share to File Share

Software: Cognitive Toolkit

Operation: Migrate

Details: For internal servers or file shares

Use the Migrate operation in the Cognitive Toolkit to migrate documents from one file share to another file share.

• Items are copied with all the metadata and the index (For example, date, time, user, destination path)

• Structure/taxonomy of the files is maintained

• Created and modified dates are maintained

Note: Permissions and ownership are not carried over during migration.

For files that are migrated into a folder with existing files that are the same, the Migrate operation will respect the --disable-over-write true flag and use --location-field and --name-field-name configuration settings.

This means that a duplicate file will be created and appended with a number, rather than overwriting the file and the last access date.

Steps

Example command to run the migration:

Migrate --index-server-url "http://localhost:9200/" --index-name "migrateindex" --destination-source-settings "C:\testdocs\migrate\settings\destination.json" --query "C:\testdocs\Queries\match_all.json" --path-prefix-to-remove "C:\testdocs\migrate\Source" --start-location "C:\testdocs\migrate\Destination"
