Snitz to CS 1.0 forums migrator tool |
This is a web-based tool that will migrate your Snitz forums to CS 1.0 forums.
If you want to migrate to a newer CS version, you will need to migrate to 1.0 first then upgrade your CS version with the official CS upgrade tools.
Notes:
- You MUST read the readme and follow what is written in there.
- Please note that the migrator will migrate from snitz SQL database.
- If you have forums set as moderated in Snitz, you will have to approve all the posts in there after the migration in CS. This is true even if for some reason in Snitz the moderation had no effect! So if you are missing some posts after migration, look in the moderation section.
- Calculate about a 10x size increase in the database.
- After starting, you can stop the migration only by stopping IIS or the website, as the migration is done in the background by a web service, and not by the client.
- If you want to start again, start from a clean install as the migrator does not do differential migration.
Known issues (apart from the ones in the readme):
- If the original database has integrity problems, the migrator may break down - so check where it stopped and then check in the original database.
- The larger the original database, the more the migration will slow down in the process. For about 20000+ posts (may vary heavily depending on other factors) the migrator web-page will time out during the post migration phase. The migration WILL continue in the background, which you can check by looking at the database size or post count.
- After the migration completes, please wait to get the post count displayed correctly on the frontpage to avoing seeing cached numbers.
