Preconditions

Before you start your migration, you must do all of the following:

  • Set up a Magento 2 system that meets our system requirements

    Set up your system using a topology and design that at least matches your existing Magento 1 system.

  • Install Magento 2

  • Do not start Magento 2 cron jobs

  • After installation back up or dump your Magento 2 database as soon as possible

  • Check that the Data Migration tool has a network access to connect the Magento 1 and Magento 2 databases

    Open ports in your firewall so the migration tool can communicate with the databases

  • To provide redundancy in the event of unexpected issues, we advise you to replicate your Magento 1 database

  • Migrate Magento 1 extension code to Magento 2

    Reach out to your extension providers to see if they have been ported yet
