Magento 1 -> 2 Migration: do I “just” need a DB copy or the full code for the magento migration tool?

Question

we will use the default Magento migration script/tool supplied for migration from M1 to M2.

Question: do I "just" need a DB copy or the full code for the migration scripts to work?

Ie do I need a full production clone. Or is a Mysql copy enough? (for the data of course, images is logical data on disk - if so set in config)

thanks

Answer 1

Only your database is enough to perform the data migration unless you plan for code migration. Navigate to your data-migration-tool/etc/opensource-to-opensource/Magento_1_version/. Rename config.xml.dist to config.xml. Configure the migration steps you want to be done by commenting out those un-needed.

You can configure the source and destination database name and access credentials here.

<source>
        <database host="localhost" name="magento1" user="root" />
</source>
<destination>
        <database host="localhost" name="magento2" user="root" />
</destination>
