Migration options

Finally, you can then hit the button ‘Check for errors’. This will trigger Atlassian’s pre-migration checks. At this stage, there is also a pre-migration check specific to Multivote & Enterprise Survey for Confluence. It checks whether your Surveys obey the size limitations of the Atlassian Cloud.

This pre-migration check is non-blocking. You could continue with your migration but the Surveys in doubt will not be migrated. You can click on ‘View app vendor checks’ and download a report about this check. The report is a CSV file containing the Survey Title, Survey Id, and Survey Size.

Find out more on how to resolve problems with too large Surveys on our troubleshooting section. After correcting potential errors, you can review your migration clicking on ‘Review Migration’ and then start it by clicking on ‘Run now’.

It may be that Multivote & Enterprise Survey for Confluence is listed in the success rate check with a warning:

image-20241216-102839.png

You can ignore this warning for now, as our migration assistant for Survey was only recently introduced and therefore has an unknown success rate.

The migration will then appear in your dashboard.

The progress of a migration. The different migration processes will appear sequentially after the previous one has been completed.

Please note that if the app data migration takes longer than 15 minutes, its status will be displayed as TIMED_OUT. The data migration will still continue though. Please check the logs for progress/completion.

If the app migration has timed out, please check the logs

The last log message should contain “App migration settled by Cloud app with status SUCCESS, percent 100 and message : All events processed successfully for transferId: ”.

2. Using the new editor for each page

The Multivote & Enterprise Macro Migration Assistant for Survey contains a handy overview to see all migrated or yet-to-be migrated pages.
