WikiTraccs v1.6.29
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
- improvement: hardening against connection errors
- page creation is now retried several times, with increasing delays
- space page retrieval and site preparation is retried as well
- improvement: adding logging for throttling; when the app is throttled by Microsoft this is now visible as log message in the console while it previously could sit and wait for minutes without saying anything
- improvement: lock busting for site preparation locks; when there was an issue during site preparation the stale lock is now undone after a couple of minutes; this should unblock the most common scenarios where provisioning gets stuck at this point
- improvement: creating a new log file with every start of the application; this allows for easier log analysis
- improvement: displaying the version number in WikiTraccs.GUI
- fix: space processing stops when mapped to an inaccessible SharePoint site; this is now skipped and logged
- fix: enabling/disabling of minor library versions when migrating to multiple new sites
Note: When running on an AWS EC2 instance, in a private subnet, behind a NAT gateway WikiTraccs' connections to SharePoint are terminated frequently. This seems to be a known issue in said environment when apps use connection pooling. This release should allow migrating nevertheless as it adds retry loops for certain operations. The migration time thus will be increased in such an AWS environment.

WikiTraccs v1.6.11
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Highlighting not-anymore merged table cells
Since SharePoint Online does not support merged table cells WikiTraccs cannot transform tables 1:1 to SharePoint. This release adds markers for table cells that once were merged.
For more details about table transformations and merged table cells refer to this blog post: How to migrate rich Confluence tables to limited SharePoint tables?
❕Marking merged table cells is the new default.❕
Note: If you want to revert to the former behavior of not marking merged table cells you can use appsettings.json. This page has the snippet needed to configure this: Sample Configurations
Furthermore:
- fixed a bug that prevented Confluence blog posts from being migrated to SharePoint when a blog post had the same title as a page

WikiTraccs v1.6.8
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Better scheduling for large spaces, and Confluence Cloud login fix
So far WikiTraccs first got the list of pages for a space and then started migrating those pages.
Unfortunately, with increasing page count, Confluence gets slower in providing the page list (see #63). This meant so far that you had to wait quite some time until WikiTraccs started migrating a large space.
This has been changed. After retrieving the first pages for a space WikiTraccs already starts migrating those. This should save some time when migrating large spaces (> 15000 pages).
Getting the pages is done in batches, so a list of 15000 pages is not retrieved at once, but in smaller batches. The batch size so far was 100, this has been increased to 200, which seems to be a maximum. Please open a support ticket if this does not work in your environment.
Two issues around Confluence Cloud have been resolved as well, namely #28 and #65, which prevented successful login detection.
Note: This is marked as a pre-release for now because the scheduling logic changed quite a bit and will be monitored until the next release.

WikiTraccs v1.6.6
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Promoting blog posts and adding statistics for hard links
This release has two additions to features added in the last releases.
Blog posts that have been migrated from Confluence to SharePoint are now promoted to news posts in SharePoint, so they appear in news web parts.
Hard links on Confluence pages that were detected by WikiTraccs but could not be transformed to page links in SharePoint now increase the "Inaccessible pages" and "Inaccessible links" counter that is available as field in the Site Pages library.

WikiTraccs v1.6.4
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Transforming Confluence "hard links"
Confluence kind of monitors links between pages. When updating the title of a page Confluence takes care of updating incoming links to this page. Those links are called soft links and should be the majority of links. When migrating Confluence pages to SharePoint WikiTraccs takes care of transforming soft links to SharePoint page links.
There is another kind of link - the hard link. Those links are plain old HTML links that Confluence is oblivious of. Technically, they appear like any other text content. And also technically, they lack important metadata that is needed to locate the target page (page ID, space key). Sometimes those links make it into a page. And as long as the target page does not change much this works, until it doesn't and they break.
With this release WikiTraccs looks out for hard links and tries to figure out the target page. If that is successful the hard link is transformed to a proper page link in SharePoint.
There are some limits to this hard link transformation: it works only for links to pages, not attachments. And it only works for links pointing to the current page version. Hard links to older page versions cannot be converted since older page versions are not present in SharePoint. Also, the link text stays as it is - so a link might look like still pointing to the source Confluence system, yet properly links to the migrated SharePoint page.
This addition should reduce the manual post-migration labor a bit. Feedback is appreciated, either as feature proposal or discussion.

WikiTraccs v1.5.0
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Migrating blog posts!
So far the focus has been on migrating Confluence pages to SharePoint with blog posts getting not much demand. But this is something of the past.
WikiTraccs now supports migrating blog posts to SharePoint as well.
Blog post migration can be turned on in the settings dialog that is available in the main menu bar of WikiTraccs.GUI via Settings > Configure Transformation. There, choose Migrate blog posts. WikiTraccs then will pick up blog posts in your next migration.
This setting is turned off by default.

WikiTraccs 1.4.6
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Bugfixes and more status info in WikiTraccs.GUI
This release fixes a timezone-related bug that could mark all pages as outdated in the progress log files. Note that this only affects the log files and not page metadata.
Furthermore the progress bars showing space migration progress should now behave and properly reach their end after migrating all Confluence pages of a space to SharePoint.
WikiTraccs.GUI got a small log text field highlighting important information like "X outdated pages were found" or "All done". This information is also available in the live console window and the log files, but it's friendlier and quicker to have it right in the GUI.
The behavior of the space migration progress bars has been slightly changed. They will reach 100% even if outdated pages were found and subsequently skipped. But the new log text window will highlight the fact that there were outdated pages. The progress log files then provide a detailed list of those pages.

WikiTraccs 1.4.2
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
Additional Language Migration Mode
This release adds the first additional language migration mode: migrate all languages of a Confluence page to one target SharePoint page.
This is the new default setting.
This is relevant for Confluence pages that have been translated using Scroll Translations. WikiTraccs detects those languages and migrates them all, one after another, into one target SharePoint page.
If you want the old default behavior - migrate only the language with most content - you can switch it back in the settings dialog of WikiTraccs.GUI.
This release also increases the default timeout for Confluence API calls to 5 minutes, up from 30 seconds to better cope with slow responses.

WikiTraccs 1.3.14
WikiTraccs - Confluence to SharePoint Migration Tool
📖 GENERAL QUICK START GUIDE ↗️
In this release:
More Sanity Checks when using WikiTraccs.GUI
There is a list of nuisances that got smaller with this release:
- the Confluence connection test now also checks if the API can be reached; so far this only happened when starting the migration, creating a confusing state where the connection test succeeded, but starting the migration might still fail
- the SharePoint connection test now checks that the SharePoint site addresses point to a site root (subsites are not supported)
- small formatting fix for the video links introduced in v1.3.13
