Hello,
We are using Content Matrix to migrate from an existing SP 2013 farm to a new SP 2019 farm. Our 2013 farm has a content type hub set up and configured. We exported our Managed Metadata term sets from the 2013 env and then imported into the 2019 farm, maintaining the term GUIDs. Then we migrated the content type hub from the source to the target farm and verified the connection with the Managed Metadata service application. We were able to create a new site in the target environment and then publish some content types to it -- they showed up under Subscribed Content Types in the newly created site -- so we know that the hub is working and publishing.
We then migrated an existing site from the source farm to the target farm. However, when content type publishing runs, in the migrated site we now see errors such as "Content type name '<someTypeName>' conflict" followed by a correlation ID. The error appears to happen because the various content type already exist in the target farm.
In addition, we have found that, while existing Managed Metadata values are retained during migration, the actual managed metadata properties are greyed our (i.e. cannot be edited). This appears to be because as the site level the MMD columns have lost their term set mapping -- it exists on the content type hub, but not at the local sites (assuming that this is because when the site is migrated the content types and columns become site-level entities and are no longer connected to the content type hub definitions (?).
Looking for guidance on how to properly migrate sites in a scenario such as the above where the content type hub and subscriber sites all need to be migrated and then type updates need to be published again at some point. Is this not possible using Content Matrix?
Thanks
