Can i map the original ID to a new custom Field

Migrating of documents cannot prevent the ids without the not recommend database write.

So i try to map the ItemId to an other field, because it is neccesary not to lose this information.

 

But under Mapping Options -> Map list item data to different columns i can't find the Id Column in the source columns

 

Haw can i migrate the original id information?

  • Yes, this is what I did

    1. wrote a transformation to append original ID's to title columns
    2. Post migration powershell script to create a site column and added the site columns to all document library
    3. Looped through all documents and copied the original id to the created column.

  • Hi Ashwini,

    Hope you are doing well. The post looks a bit old and I am facing the same issue.

    It would be great if you can share the transformer script here or in my email.

    I am trying the below in transformer powershell script but no luck.

    $dataObject["OriginalID"] = $dataObject["ID"]

    Where OriginalID is the filed in target list and I suspect the ID  is not matching the source ID static column name.

     

    Thanks,
