• 17. 3: Migration Problems1. SP technology 2013 workflows are built on Windows Workflow Foundation 4(WWF4). However, SharePoint 2010 workflows continue to Windows WorkflowFoundation 3 (WWF3). The workflow migration is not suggested:- There is one more framework available with SP 2013 called as WAW. But AFAIK you can still create SP2010 type workflows using SPD2013.2.Error during upgrade is missing server-side files, templates, features, or otherserver-side customizations— either files that were installed with SharePoint2010 Products or customized files:- When you prepared for upgrade, you should have created an inventory of theserver-side customizations. Check this inventory to make sure that all the files thatare needed for your customizations are installed in your new environment.3.More than 5,000 site collections in a database, consider breaking them outinto multiple databases.To avoid errors during upgrade or broken sites after upgrade, we recommend thatyou move some site collections into separate databases. If you have multiplecontent databases, you can also speed up an upgrade process by upgradingmultiple databases in parallel
• 18. 4. Some sites and site templates are not available in SharePoint 2013 .Sitesbased on these templates will not work in SharePoint 2013. Remove these typesof sites before you upgrade:-You can use the Get-SP Site Windows PowerShell command togetherwith the following options to find these sites:Get-SPSite|Where-Object{$_.RootWeb.Template- eq"PowerPointBroadcast#0“}5. If you haven’t installed SharePoint 2010 SP1, after you upgrade to SPServer 2013, your out-of-the-box workflow tasks (such as Approval, CollectFeedback) will go into locked status:-Users should install SharePoint 2010 SP1 before upgrade to SharePointServer 2013.6. We could create a list item under folder in custom list using Create ListItem action in SharePoint 2010 but in SharePoint 2013 Create List Itemaction doesn’t support creating items in the folder due to platform limitation:- Try calling SharePoint 2010 workflow using Start a list/site workflow action in the SharePoint 2013 workflow.
• 19. 7.A mismatch in authentication methods can cause problems when you upgrade:-Claims-based authentication is the default authentication method for webapplications in SharePoint 2013. If the web application was using classic mode, youcan either update it to claims before you upgrade the database, or create the webapplication in classic mode and then migrate it to claims.8.You cannot upgrade a database that is set to read-only.Make sure that you set the databases to read-write before you attach and upgradethe databases.9.You must manually create all trusted data connections for Excel Services afterupgrade.10.How to upgrade environments that include services farms to SP2013.Some services in SharePoint 2010 Products can be shared across multiple farms . Aservices farm hosts services such as Business Data Connectivity service, Search, andUser Profiles that other farms consume. When you upgrade to SharePoint 2013, youfirst upgrade the services farm, and then upgrade the farms that consume thoseservices.
