●<br />

Difficulty in Migration<br />

It is a fact that <strong>to</strong> ​Magen<strong>to</strong> 2 migration is not an easy process. Magen<strong>to</strong> 2 has an entirely<br />

different database design and architecture. Magen<strong>to</strong> estimates that the migration is 20% larger<br />

when compared <strong>to</strong> the Magen<strong>to</strong> 1 upgrade.<br />

It is difficult as the amount of efforts and time required <strong>to</strong> migrate <strong>to</strong> Magen<strong>to</strong> 2. It depends on<br />

the number of extensions that are running on the site, and the number of cus<strong>to</strong>mizations<br />

involved in the site.<br />

●<br />

Importing Cus<strong>to</strong>mer & Product Data<br />

With the Magen<strong>to</strong> 2, it has come up with a handy <strong>to</strong>ol <strong>to</strong> make webmasters import the cus<strong>to</strong>mer<br />

and product data <strong>to</strong> the s<strong>to</strong>re. It functions in three ways:


This migrates the configuration settings, Migrates main data in the database, Transfers<br />

incremental data that updates <strong>to</strong> the admin panel and s<strong>to</strong>refront.<br />

When importing cus<strong>to</strong>mer & product data, you will be able <strong>to</strong> verify the consistency between the<br />

database structures of both these upgrades.<br />

●<br />

Importing Media Files<br />

<strong>Migrating</strong> media files while Magen<strong>to</strong> 2 migration should basically be done separately from the<br />

product data. If you want a safe migration, you are supposed <strong>to</strong> migrate the media files<br />

manually. <strong>While</strong> this process, you need <strong>to</strong> take special care of the migration of the media files.<br />

●<br />

Migration of Themes & Extensions<br />

Only a few themes and extensions of Magen<strong>to</strong> 1 are compatible with Magen<strong>to</strong> 2, so migrating<br />

these themes and extensions is no big deal. But, at the same time, those which aren't<br />

compatible must be recreated <strong>to</strong> work effectively with the Magen<strong>to</strong> 2.<br />
