Copy Libraries and Lists Content between ANY Version of SharePoint (SP2010/SP2013/SP2016/SPOnline).

SharePoint Hauler is a desktop application for SharePoint power-users. The application allows you to copy the contents of SharePoint Libraries and Lists between SharePoint Web Sites, Site Collections or Tenants while preserving the Metadata associated with the content and the Folder Structure of the content.

####RELEASE

Download the latest release of the program here:

https://github.com/GLubomirov/SP_Hauler/releases/tag/1.0

####SUPPORTED VERSIONS

SharePoint 2010

SharePoint 2013

SharePoint 2016

SharePoint Online

Copying of the content of Lists/Libraries is possible between any of the above SharePoint Versions. Also content from any of the above SharePoint Versions can be backed up to a File System and restored later.

####GENERAL SCENARIOS

• Copy Content (List Items and Library files) fractionally or as a whole between any version of SharePoint while preserving the Metadata associated with the content and the Folder Structure of the content.

• Copy Content (Library Files) to File System while preserving the Metadata associated with the content and the Folder Structure of the content.

• Upload files from File System to SharePoint while preserving the Folder Structure of the content.

• Restore previously copied Content with the Application from File System to SharePoint while preserving the Metadata associated with the content and the Folder Structure of the content.

####METADATA CONSIDERATIONS

The following table shows how the Application handles all types of SharePoint fields and if there are any considerations before copying.

Single line of text: No considerations

Multiple lines of text: No considerations

Choice: The field should be configured the same as Source on Destination

Number: No considerations

Currency: The field should be configured the same as Source on Destination

Date and Time: No considerations

Lookup: No considerations if copying in the same Site Collection. Can be copied as Text in other scenarios

Yes/No (check box): No considerations

Person or Group: No considerations if copying in the same Active Directory. Can be copied if User Mapping is provided in other scenarios

Hyperlink or Picture: No considerations

Calculated: Will be automatically filled when dependent fields are copied. If these dependent fields are “Lookup” or “Metadata” fields reconfiguration of the Calculated field should be done.

Task Outcome: The field should be configured the same as Source on Destination

External Data: Not supported

Managed Metadata: No considerations if copying in the same Farm/Tenant. Can be copied as Text in other scenarios

####CROSS DOMAIN COPY OF CONTENT AND USER FIELDS

The Application provides a way to preserve “People and Groups” fields when copying content across Domains/Tenants. For such a scenario a CSV file should be prepared which maps the Source Users to the Destination Users. The CSV should be in the following format – two columns, one named Source_User and the other Destination_User.

####VERSIONING

The Application copies only the latest version of each Item/Document.

####LIST ITEM ATTACHMENTS

The Application copies all List Item Attachments automatically.

New Feature Idea

Hi @GLubomirov ,

First thanx for this great tool.

If the app can copy files and folders to the a libraries folder (not to the libraries root) it will be a great feature.

Folders without content

Folders without content are not being copied. I have only the folder structure, but without files, when performing the copy, the server presents error 429.

Is there any alternative to this scenario?

Thank you, and congratulations on the solution developed.

Invalid Query Exception occurs

I copied files from one library to another library on same site collection. Each file throws "Invalid query" exception. Because there seems to be no more info, I'm sorry I can't provide more information. IT's a Sharepoint 2016 on-premise teamsite.

The files gets all copied well and are checked out on target. SO the process itself works great and saved me many time. Thank you for this tool

Arabic Characters

I have sharepoint that is installed with an arabic language pack and the metadata is in arabic. When I try to migrate to a csv file, the metadata that' in arabic is shown as question marks and as such I am not able to do anything with it. Any possibility of sorting out this unicode characters

Install not work on Windows Server 2007

Hi, I'l trying to migrate my content list item from a SP2010 On-premise installed on a windows server 2007 to my new SPO. Unfortunately, When I'm clic on the SP_Hauller.exe nothing append.
This server version is not supported ?

Map fields different language

If you are moving to a different default language Library, you can't map fields because type is different
Example
Created Date Time to Created Fecha y hora, it detects like different types when is only different type translation

metadata migration

Hi,
We are moving files from on premise SP 2010 to SharePoint Online.
In the on prem library we are using managed metadata, I'm trying to map the source field to the destination and tryed a lot of different options, none work.

1. Source is field X of Type Managed metadata, destination is field X (same name) and Type Text. Check boxes are applied. Error is given that data types don't match.
2. The check boxes tell me that a new Text field will be created (both checked). So I select the source field X en no destination field. Error is given that there should be a destination field selected.

Can you give me a hint?
Thanx,
Erik
