•
Human migration, physical movement by humans from one area to another
•
Data migration, the process of transferring data between storage types, formats, or computer systems
•
System migration, the tasks involved when moving data and applications from current hardware to
new hardware

Deep Dive
SharePoint 2013 Upgrade
Overview

6. PAST & FUTURE
Issues:
- Difficult problems
- Not all components can be upgraded
- Long running upgrade process
- Not clear what exactly happens during upgrade – only a
logfile at the end
- All or nothing migration

7. PAST & FUTURE
Lessons learned:
-
“site collection health checks”
database attached update for almost all Service Applications
“self-service site collection upgrade”
-
-
Separating “Site Collection Upgrade” and “Database Upgrade”
“cross-version services connections”
“throttles and queue management”
ULS Logs
Upgrade Evaluation

8. SOME FACTS
No in place Upgrade
available
DB attached Upgrade is
the only way without
using 3th Party Tools or
code
/14 and /15 hives will be
installed
No visual Upgrade
based on „switch
Stylesheets etc.“. Site
Collections are running
in /14 or /15 hive
Features and Templates
from SP2010 still work
“upgrade job in process”
- no way to remove
during run
NO Rollback
No problems with RBS,
Upgrade is a DB Schema
Update
SPDesigner 2010 still
works for some SP2013
parts – unsupoorted

•Upgrade databases now and site collections
later
•No major changes to existing experience
•Health rules help prevent failed site
collection upgrades
•Per site collection logs
•Upgrade Evaluation Site to preview upgrade
YOU SHOULD KNOW,
THAT…
Upgrade Queuing and Throttling
•Upgrade Queues
•Each SPSite upgrade is queued
•Can be removed from queue
•Stays in queue on unexpected failures
•Farm admin has control
Customizations Upgrade
•Upgrade Throttles
•Throttle per web application
•Existing customizations older than
SharePoint 2010 may work, but change
•Throttle per content database
delta is much higher
•Upgrade Timer Jobs
•Existing SharePoint 2010 customizations
•Farm admin override
should normally work without change in
14 mode but may require changes to work
in 15 mode (Visual customizations (i.e.
JS/CSS))
•New SharePoint ’15’ customizations not
Unsupported In 14 Mode
available in 14 mode
•All new SharePoint ’15’ specific features
