Adobe Commerce 2.3 reached end of support in September 2022.

Preconditions

Before starting migration, make sure the following requirements are met.

Magento 2 system

Cron

Do not start Magento 2 cron jobs.

Database

  • After installation, back up or dump your Magento 2 database as soon as possible. This allows you to restore the initial database state if migration is not successful.

  • Verify if the Data Migration Tool has network access to connect the Magento 1 and Magento 2 databases.

    Open ports in your firewall so that the Migration Tool can communicate with the databases.

  • Make sure your MySQL accounts have all the necessary privileges to access Magento databases.

If Binary Logging is enabled for your Magento 1 database, set the global log_bin_trust_function_creators MySQL system variable to 1, or grant the SUPER privilege to your account.

  • We do not recommend creating new entities (products, categories, attributes, etc.) in your Magento 2 store before migration because the Data Migration Tool overwrites such new entities with the old ones from Magento 1.

Extensions

Migrate Magento 1 extension code to Magento 2.

To find the latest extensions versions, visit Commerce Marketplace or contact your extension provider.

You can also use the Magento Code Migration Tool.
