Hi All,

I have more than 300 web contents (with structures & templates) in liferay 6.2. I want to migrate all my content to liferay 7. I know few of the options like database migration or manual content migration. But I want to know the best practices for content migrations. 

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Hamidul,

 

The best way to upgrade your contents and structures to Liferay 7 is to perform the database upgrade provided by the product:

https://dev.liferay.com/en/discover/deployment/-/knowledge_base/7-1/upgrading-to-liferay-71

 

 

For the templates, you will need to adjust service calls and other elements to the new API after the upgrade.

 

300 contents is a small number of articles so the upgrade will run smoothly. If you want to move the contents to another Liferay 7 installation after the upgrade, you can export/import them via LAR files.

 

I hope it helps.
