Question

We are looking at moving a site from 2010 to 2016 or 2019. Since this is not a supported upgrade path using DB Attach, we are looking at recompiling the WSP'S and deploying them to the new world, and then move the content using Sharegate or something similar. The content does include MySites as well.

Does anyone know if the above approach has worked or should work.

Was it helpful?

Solution

It will work, but I would suggest the DB attach method over ShareGate or other third party tools. Setup a SP2013 single server, attach content DBs to it, then migrate them to 2016, then 2019. I know it is more work upfront, but you will get a cleaner migration with less issues in the end.

OTHER TIPS

Agree with Josh, for upgrade, it is recommended to do DB attach approach and upgrade step by step (2010-2013,2013-2016) You can test the DB before mount to see if the WSP's have issues.
