Migrate from Archiva to Artifactory

Question

Has anyone migrated from Archiva to Artifactory before? I'm looking for some guidance, and am unable to find any info online.

Thanks, Chris

You have two options:

1. Use repositories import and point it to Archiva's storage.
2. Configure Archiva as a remote repository for Artifactory, and run builds for a while. When you're confident all the artifacts were cached, take Archiva down and mark the remote repository offline.

The benefit of the former is a simple and one-time procedure. The benefit of the later is no downtime and import of only artifacts that are really in use.
