HowTo: Split the contents of a folder across multiple sites and libraries
Updated at: Created at:
Splitting the contents of a folder across multiple different sites and/or libraries can be achieved with the Structure Mapping feature.
The first step is to create a structure mapping file; you need to do discovery first to get the URI of the Items.
The Sample Structure Mapping File is attached to this article below.
|
SourcePath |
Source URI of Items |
|
TargetPath |
Target Site Collection URL (For Tenant level migration task only). The value in this column needs to be specified relative to the Site Collection. |
|
TargetSite |
Target Site where items will migrate. The value in this column needs to be specified relative to the Site Collection. Use ‘/’ for mapping to Root Site of Site Collection |
|
TargetLibrary |
The target library. The System Name of the library must be specified in this column. E.g. if the library has a Display Name ‘Shared Documents’ but the system name which appears in the library URL is ‘Documents’, then this column should specify the value as ‘Documents’. |
|
TargetFolder |
The folder on the target in which items will be migrated. The folder path must be specified relative to Library. Use ‘/’ for mapping to root of library. |
|
MappingSettings |
Create: This option will re-create the Source hierarchy as is on the Target. Merge: This option will exclude your source Item and the Items underneath that folder will merge on to the given target path. |
