Salt commented 2020年04月24日 00:00:13 +02:00

• check that all relationships from old DB have been included in updated CiviCRM
• verify that contacts are consistent across the multiple backups/migrations
• make snapshot of database before import
• import old database backups
• confirm external/SSO IDs for civi entries map to Snowdrift.coop accounts
• add new entry and confirm fields match up with imported entries
• add entries from contacts made while civi was unavailable (e.g., business cards)
• deduplicate entries

I actually went ahead and started on this, without it being as well executed. That said, old backups have been imported, but a snapshot wasn't taken. Also, they have not yet been compared with yet older backups. Finally, relationship data has not been verified, and I'm not certain an easy manner to do that with the mappings we had exported.

All contacts have (hopefully) been de-duped from this particular round of imports.

My next steps on this are to try and compare the current db across various migrated ones. Also, business cards collected or entered elsewhere still need to be added. Relations should be checked and decided on whether they are worth the effort, and SSO IDs need to be verified. Finally, current team members should be given Drupal accounts.
