Release notes
The Migrate module provides a flexible framework for migrating content into Drupal from other sources (e.g., when converting a web site from another CMS to Drupal). Out-of-the-box, support for creating Drupal nodes, taxonomy terms, comments, and
users are included. Plugins permit migration of other types of content.
Requirements
------------
Migrate 2 on Drupal 6 requires the autoload (version 2.x) and dbtng modules.
Usage
-----
For now, all we offer is documentation by example. Enable the migrate_example module and browse to admin/migrate to see its dashboard. The data for this migration is in migrate_example/beer.inc. Mimic that file in order to specify your own migrations. All imports/rollbacks/etc. are initiated by drush commands.
The Migrate module itself has support for migration into core objects. Support for migration involving contrib modules is in the migrate_extras module. The exception to this is CCK - because the equivalent (Field API) is implemented in core for Drupal 7, to ease maintaining both D6 and D7 implementations of Migrate 2 the CCK support is builtin under Drupal 6.
Upgrading
---------
Do not attempt to upgrade directly from Migrate 1 to Migrate 2! There is no automated path to upgrade - your migrations (formerly known as "content sets") must be reimplemented from scratch. It is recommended that projects using Migrate 1 stay with Migrate 1, and that Migrate 2 be used for any new migration projects.
