:: SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 Migration : Part 1 ::

Hello

We cover the migration in two parts

1) Database Migration
2) Custom Code Migration to VC 2013.

Part 1 :: Database Migration

1) Go to your old SharePoint database, then copy the WSS_Content database.

2) Verify source server properties.

3) Set your destination SQL Server.

4) Select the Transfer Method, use the SQL Management Object method if you want a live migration.

5) Select a database to copy, you will only need WSS_Content.

 

6) Configure the properties of Destination Database.

7) Select Objects, you only need Logins here.

8) Saving the package created.

9) Run immediately, you can also schedule them.

10) Look at the summary.

11) Wait while it's performing the copy

12) Or Just Backup and Restore Database will also work for all above 10 steps.

13) Once done, go back to SharePoint 2013 Central Administration and set your SharePoint instance to use the copied WSS_Content database.

14) Go to Application Management -> Manage Web Applications. -> Create a new Web Application

15) Now you need to set that new web application to use the copied WSS_Content database, you need to do this in SharePoint 2013 Management Shell

16) Test the database you just copied over by issuing this command:

Test-SPContentDatabase -Name WSS_Content -WebApplication http://YourNewSharepointServer:portNumber
17) Now mount them by issuing this command
Mount-SPContentDatabase -Name WSS_Content -WebApplication http://YourNewSharepointServer:portNumber

18) Now that it's mounted, you need to delete the default WSS_Content database created during the installation process, choose the default WSS_Content instance, if it's a fresh install usually it's the one with zero site collection items.
