How to Migrate Large Site Collections to sharePoint Online

How to  Migrate Large Site Collections to sharePoint Online



  1. A site collection is made up of one top-level site and sites beneath it. 
  2. A site having more than 100 GB is considered as large sites in SharePoint. 
  3. SharePoint Online supports larger site collections but for better performance and maintainability it’s recommended to limit the size of sites/site collections.
Issues:
Any site collection that grows beyond 100GB will have performance issues and affect bulk
operations such as copying /moving files and sites, updating lists or libraries schema, etc.

Recommendation:
Divide the large site collections into multiple site collections or archive the old content before migration.

Migrate infopath forms to sharepoint online:

How do I migrate InfoPath to SharePoint Online?



InfoPath enables developers to build custom forms, customize List/Library forms, customize workflow association, and task forms. 
InfoPath forms (XSN files) can be migrated, but some forms may not function without remediation. 
SharePoint Online classic sites support InfoPath forms but not modern sites. 

Migration Limitation:

  1. Modern site templates do not support InfoPath forms. The browser based forms would be displayed as XML.
  2. InfoPath forms are currently not supported on the Modern experience list, it can only work in the classic experience list.
  3. InfoPath forms with SOAP calls and Managed code are not supported in SharePoint Online.
  4. InfoPath forms that leverage people picker fields need to be updated with the new user's identity post-migration.
  5. After migration, the User or site owner needs to re-publish all the forms into a new list or library. 
  6. Users must implement required changes to make it work in SharePoint Online.

Recommendation:

Site Owners need to ensure the InfoPath forms function correctly post-migration.

How do I migrate SharePoint User Alerts to sharepoint Online

How do I migrate SharePoint User Alerts to sharepoint Online:



Alerts are created on items, lists, and libraries to notify a user of when content is changed. 

In SharePoint Online, users would be able to create alerts on items, lists, and libraries but most of the migration tools do not migrate alerts form SharePoint on-prem. 

Migration Limitation:
  1. ShareGate supports alert migration. However, it will trigger emails to users who registered for alerts during migration.
  2. Communicate this to users about the alerts limitation
  3. Once the signoff is received post UAT, alerts will be migrated during delta/incremental migration. 
  4. Migration time will increase as Alerts need to be copied separately after content migration.

SharePoint Online supports custom permission levels. 

Migration Limitation:


Some tools do not migrate custom permission levels. However, ShareGate migrates custom permission level

Recommendation:

Site Owners need to validate the permission levels post-migration.
