unknown migration option in plesk 12.5.30

[Linulex]

At the migration settings page there is a new option

Check operability Check the operability of services after migration (will increase the migration time)

What does this do ???

If i use the help on the migration settings page i go to this page

http://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/ad...ation/migration-from-other-hosting-platforms/

When i follow the link Deployment Guide. on this page i get an error 404, page not found.

Well, there is no problem with migration, it's works fine (I am migrating a lot of old plesk 8.6 domains to new plesk 12.5)

I am glad to inform you that Plesk Migrator initial guide was published at http://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/migration-guide/introduction/. Not all available features, scenarios and options are described at this moment, but this guide will be expanded and improved on an ongoing basis.

That's about post migration checks, following aspects of domains availability will be checked:

• Websites
• Mail
• DNS
• Databases
• System users

In scope of websites availability, following aspects will be checked:

• Response code and title of domain's the home page
• Response codes and titles of pages, linked with the home page
• Title pages of APS applications registered in Plesk and placed on the domain

If a site is configured to use SSL, HTTPS addresses are also checked

Error will be reported in following cases:

• Requested page is unavailable on target
• Source and target HTTP response codes are different
• Target HTTP response code is 4xx or 5xx (except 401 both on source and target - it is valid in case of password-protected area)

What is the difference between Plesk Migrator and the other migration manager?

 

[Aleksey Filatev]

There are several key benefits of Plesk Migrator:

• Better error reporting - Solution for each issue, attention on severity (impact) and details for debugging
• Better isolation - Failure on one subscription does not affect others
• Better robustness - Repeat command on failures to avoid temporary network or reliability issues

And more things like:

• Pre-checks - Check system services, check ability to transfer data between source and target servers), check capability of target server to restore hosting settings of transferred domains
• Post-checks - Check domains availability after migration and many other things: databases, mail, DNS, etc
• Move to production - Provide ability to sync web and mail content, transfer databases, and finally enable DNS forwarding on source server for migrated domains automatically
