Migrating Projects (Standard) Limitations
The following are some migration limitations for you to consider:
- The shell type must be a CBS shell. You cannot migrate standard projects to generic shells, only to CBS shells.
- Shell name is limited to 128 characters, and shell description is limited to 250 characters. However, standard project name is limited to 250 characters, and the project description is limited to 2000 characters. For the migration from project to CBS shell to be successful, you must modify the project name and description to be within the limits for these fields that exist for the shells (128 characters for a shell name, and 250 characters for a shell description).
- The standard project name cannot contain any special characters, such as:
/\:*?"<>|
- You cannot migrate a standard project to a single instance (top-level) shell. You can only migrate to multiple-instance shells.
- Even if the destination CBS shell type has auto-numbering set up, the migration cannot incorporate the new shell into the shell auto-numbering; instead, it copies the project number while creating the shell. The new shell is identified by the project number of the original project.
- You will have to set up a new configurable shell dashboard for the new shell that is created by the migration. Any existing project summary set up does not migrate to the new shell.
- If any business processes, planning items, assets, or configurable managers in the original project use project pickers, you will have to re-create the link between these objects and the new shell.
- Migration from a standard project to a CBS shell cannot be reversed. After the migration is complete, the standard project is converted to a CBS shell, and the information from that project resides in the newly-created CBS shell.
