Migration & Upgrades

The Migrate API is almost stable and the majority of its basic functions and ways that folks interface with it are are to see the state of a migration, execute (import) a migration, or revert (rollback) a migration.

If you need to migrate field collections from Drupal 7 into Drupal 8, here's a walk through of how to do it. But before you start reading, I'd like you to stop and see how you can make this process better.

MTech specializes in Drupal migrations and upgrades.

As you might know, the Datetime Range module is currently an experimental module within Drupal 8 core.

Thanks to the drupaleros community, Drupal 8 has two new plugins added in the migrate plus module: entity_lookup and entity_generate. These can be used to lookup and create an entity if it does not exist.

With the daily work of the office it is natural that there are challenges and potential research topics. With the addition of our developer Lucas as a Drupal core Migrate system maintainer, we decided to delve into the little documented area of migrating data into paragraphs.

Very often in a migration of Drupal 6/7 to Drupal 8, have a need to run and test the migration many times. This applies more to sites that are very active, where site editors are updating or adding new content.

In this post, I'll show you how to migrate a csv file that contains a photo, and how do it do it using Migrate Source CSV module. 

As the maintainer of the popular D8 Migrate Source CSV contrib module, it is about time I wrote how to use the thing. It is similar to a core migration, except you have to already create the destination node, taxonomies, etc.

There's been a series of questions pop up in #drupal-migrate in IRC over the past few days and weeks about how to handle configuration management for migrations. There's several options available, I’d like to suggest one that seems to work really well for us (and maybe you as well).
