Migrate your Confluence data, page history, users, permissions, attachments and metadata in just a few minutes using this set of dedicated tools. All the applications that you need to migrate are automatically installed.

Once your migration is done, enjoy the long term technical support covering XWiki, all Pro Apps, supported extensions and community extensions (best effort).  

To migrate from Confluence to XWiki you will need: 

  • an XWiki instance with administrator access (advanced user, view hidden pages)
  • access to your XWiki instance's configuration files, if you are running XWiki on your premise
  • a Confluence server XML backup file

Please follow the instructions in the "Documentation" tab for a full breakdown of each step. 

This toolkit offers the following services:

  • license & technical support for all Pro Apps, including Confluence Migrator (Pro), Pro Macros, Confluence Bridge Macros, and Task Manager (Pro)
  • technical support on XWiki core
  • technical support on product recommended extensions
  • technical support on community extensions (best effort)

At the service level, it is equivalent to Gold support. 

In trial mode, the Confluence Migrator (Pro) is limited to 200 pages per migration. 

The application can be purchased via online order (credit card payment), following the “How to Buy” procedure described in the "PRICING" tab. For manual orders (bank transfer payment) please contact sales@xwiki.com.

Confluence Migrator

Prerequisites

  • an XWiki instance with administrator rights
  • access to your XWiki instance's configuration files (if you are running XWiki on premise)
  • Confluence Migration Toolkit installed on your XWiki instance
  • administrator access to the Confluence instance that you wish to migrate content from or a server XML backup file

Once you have installed the Confluence Migration Toolkit, please follow the steps below.

Go to the Confluence Migrator Pro application, open the prerequisites section and perform the necessary configuration in order to make sure the XWiki instance will support the data migration. 

migrator-pro-preprequisites.png

If a prerequisite is met, a checkmark will appear next to its respective line in the dedicated section. 

Data migration

Data is imported from Confluence using their XML backup. There are two kinds of XML backups:

  • (Full) Site backup. this exports everything from a Confluence instance, including all spaces, users and groups. They are suitable for small sites. For larger sites, exports will likely fail, possibly after a few hours or days of producing the export, and if it succeeds, it may not be practical to import such a large package in XWiki
  • Space backups. Each space can be backed up individually. They don't contain users or groups, which will need to be imported through another mean (using LDAP, Active Directory or Azure AD for instance). They are suitable for larger sites. We have a feature to import them by batches. On the Confluence side, the production of backups can be scripted. 

Upload export packages into XWiki

In order to migrate your data, first attach the Confluence backup files in the dedicated section of the migrator. 

Information

Note that if you are using a trial, you will be able to import one space and up to 30 pages per migration. All the other functionalities (prerequisites, import configuration, migration report, simultaneous migrations etc.) are available in the trial version. In order to unlock the full capabilities please obtain a license.

migrator-pro-data-import.png

You will be able to attach multiple files and start the data migration from any of them. It is also possible to use a space export. If your Confluence backup fails to upload please make sure that your XWiki instance has enough storage and memory, and also that the attachment limit is not too low. If you are using XWiki in the Cloud, please contact the support team, in order for them to perform the necessary configuration. 

Once you have identified the export file that you wish to use, click on "Select package". You will be redirected to the title page, where you can name your migration and configure the import options. 

migrator-pro-set-title.png

Select export packages from the server

Alternatively, if the Confluence export packages are placed on a machine that XWiki has access to, please use the "Select an export from server" option: 

migrator-2.png

If you wish to modify the default import configuration, for example, to skip user import or to not preserve history, click on "Advanced migration options". Please see below the documentation on each parameter of the Advanced migration options. 

migrator-pro-fs-config.png

Warning

Confluence favorites are by default migrated to favorites in the Favorites Application (which will need to be installed if you want to use them). These favorites are public. Please disable this option if you don't want favorites to be made public. 

Once you are satisfied with the configuration, click on "Save & View". You will be redirected to the package analyser step. The analysis of the package may take a while if the export is very large. 

migrator-pro-analyser.png

Once the analysis of the package is done, the list of spaces will appear. You can select all, multiple or one space and search for a space based on their key. If a single space export is used, this step is skipped. 

migrator-pro-list-spaces.png

After you have selected all the spaces that you wish to migrate in this run, click on "Confirm". You will be redirected on the import log page. The process of importing and moving the pages into their correct location may take a while if the export is very large.

migrator-pro-import-step.png

Finally, when the data migration is done, you will be redirected to the report page, where you will see the pages that have been successfully imported, along with the ones affected by errors and links issues.

migrator-4.png

Starting with Confluence Migrator Pro version 1.27.8, the "Restart the migration" button is removed due to redundancy with the copy parameters feature. If you would like to re-execute a migration (e.g. "Migration 2 for Space-123"), please choose the parameters of the previous migration ("Migration 2 for Space-123") in "Step 2 - Choose an export package" and then select the package that you wish to use ("Space-123.zip" in our example). 

You will be able to also later review the report by clicking on the migration page in the application's homepage. Moreover, you can run multiple migrations in parallel and see their status.

Advanced migration options

You can fine-tune your migration by configuring the advanced migration options. Please see below the details on each parameter: 

Properties of the input filter stream (Confluence XML)

The Confluence XML package provides many parameters to customize a confluence import.

Parameter nameDescriptionExample valueDefault value
Import archived documentsConfluence exports can contain archived documents. XWiki doesn't have a concept of archived document. This parameter lets you optionally import archived documents as regular XWiki documents instead of ignoring them. false
Import archived spaces.Confluence exports can contain archived spaces. XWiki doesn't have a concept of archived space. This parameter lets you optionally import archived spaces  as regular XWiki spaces instead of ignoring them. false
Import attachmentsIf you don't want to import document attachments, set this to false. true
Base URLs

The list of base URLs leading to the Confluence instance. They are used to convert wrongly entered absolute URLs into wiki links. The first URL in the list will be used to compute page URLs used in the conversion report if the the 'Store Confluence details' property is used.

This parameter is used to convert (fix) absolute URLs present as links in the documents that will get imported. The bases of this URLs should be input in this field so that they are converted from the Confluence to the XWiki links. For example, adding in this field www.<myconfluence>.com/wiki/spaces will convert absolute links such as www.<myconfluence>.com/wiki/space/KEY/page into www.<myxwiki>.com/bin/view/KEY/page.

 N/A
Blog Space name

This field defines the name of the space under which blog posts will be imported. By default, a "Blog" space will be created under "SPACE KEY".

 Blog
Import blog posts

This field decides whether to import blog posts or not. By leaving the default value "true", blog posts will be imported. By changing the value to "false", blog posts will not be imported. 

 true
Cleanup mode

The mode to use for cleaning up temporary files produced when parsing the Confluence package.

  • SYNC: clean up right after the filter stream is done.
  • ASYNC: same, but asynchronously.
  • NO: don't clean up at all
 

SYNC

ASYNC in the Confluence Migrator Pro Application

Produce rendering events for the contentParse the content to produce rendering events (if the output filter supports them).

This is needed in very specific conditions. We do not recommend modifying this parameter unless you know what you are doing.

 false
Import contents

This parameter defines whether to import the body and set content of regular documents and blog posts (if blog posts are imported). We do not recommend modifying this parameter. 

 true
XWiki Conversion

This parameter defines whether to convert

  • user, space and document references from the Confluence names to the XWiki names. This includes user id mapping and group mapping described below, which will not be applicable if this parameter is set to false.
  • The confluence syntax to XWiki syntax

This is needed in very specific conditions. We do not recommend modifying this parameter unless you know what you are doing. In particular, XWiki may not be able to render your imported documents and links will probably be broken if you disable this.

 true
Default locale

This parameter defines the locale that will be used for the imported documents.

Usage example: you have a xwiki instance that you want to be localized with both en and fr. The default locale for your instance is en. You have a Confluence instance that has its content in French. You import from Confluence to XWiki and all the created documents will have their locale set to your xwiki default locale (en) and the content brought from Confluence wwill be in French. Ideally, you set the parameter default locale to "fr" so all the imported documents will have their locale equal to "fr". Now, if you want to also have an English version of the documents, you create it and translate it.

frN/A
Page name validation

This parameter defines whether the pages should be validated against and converted using XWiki's current page naming strategy. This works if the XWIKI CONVERSION field is set to "true".

This is needed in very specific conditions. We do not recommend modifying this parameter unless you know what you are doing. In particular, XWiki may not be able to render your imported documents and links will probably be broken if you disable this.

 true
Excluded pages

List in this field the Confluence pages to ignore from the import. The format is a comma separated list of page IDs where each number is a page id.

See also the Ranges and the Included pages parameters.

543234,123123,65423 
Group Format

The group format to use to transform a Confluence group names to XWiki group names. String ${group} will be replaced with the group Confluence name; String ${group._clean} same with the special characters removed.| ${group._clean} |

User Format

The user format to use to transform a Confluence user names to XWiki user names. String ${username} will be replaced with the user Confluence name; String ${username._clean} same with the special characters removed. If this parameter is left empty, forbidden characters (spaces, dots, forward slashes) will be replaced by _ ||

Import historySet this to false if you want to  discard previous revisions of documents (for performance, space or import speed concerns) true
Home redirectWhen non nested import is used, home pages are renamed so they can be the home page of spaces in XWiki. If set to true, redirects are output so links to these pages are not broken. When nested import is used, this parameter is ignored. true
Included pages

This field allows you to specify pages that should be imported. The format is a comma separated list of page IDs where each number is a page id.

See also the Ranges and the Excluded pages parameters.

543234,123123,65423 
Macro content syntax

This parameter defines the target syntax to be used.

This is needed in very specific conditions. We do not recommend modifying this parameter unless you know what you are doing

 N/A
Max Page countif you want to limit the number of imported pages, set this to the desired number. -1 disable any limitation -1
Import non-blog content

This field defines whether to import non-blog contents (normal documents) or not. When this parameter and the IMPORT BLOG POSTS are set to "true", both regular pages and blog posts get imported. Set this parameter to "false" if you wish to import only blog posts present in an export package. 

 true
Object ID ranges

Ranges of Confluence objects to read.

Can be used to restore an interrupted migration.

Several comma-separated ranges can be given. Note that the order used for these ranges are not increasingly big ids, but in the order they are processed by the Confluence module. This order may change between versions of the parser, but is guaranteed to be the same between different runs using the same version of the Confluence module. Ranges must not overlap. Overlapping ranges are not supported, may lead to surprising results and their behavior is not guaranteed to be stable. In the same vain, ranges must be ordered in the parsing order.

  • [4242,] - only read object id 4242 and all the following ones
  • (4242,] - same, but exclude object id 4242
  • [,4242] - read all objects until object id 4242 included
  • [,4242) - same, but exclude 4242
  • [4242,2424], [3456,1234] - read objects between 4242 and 2424 both included, then ignore objects until 5656 and read objects between 5656 and 1234 both included (notice how IDs may look disordered)
 
Prefixed macros

This field stores an allowlist of macros that should be prefixed. A few macros exist both in XWiki and in Confluence under the same name. In order to allow the usage of the bridge macros (dedicated to displaying content in the same manner as it was in Confluence), those macros should be prefixed so that the bridge macros (e.g. "confluence_gallery") are used and not the original XWiki macro (e.g. "gallery"). We do not recommend modifying this parameter. 

 attachments,gallery,chart
Import favoritesImport Confluence favorites into the Favorites Application. Requires the Favorites Application to be installed.  true 
Translated content supportWhether pages containing different languages should be converted to translated XWiki documents. If disabled, the supported language macros will be converted to the contentTranslation macro. An implementation of this macro can be found in the Book Versions application.  true 
Import rights
Warning

This parameter defines whether permissions set in Confluence should be migrated into XWiki.

Importing users and groups is not mandatory; rights will be imported without. However, if you disable user or group import to import them using another method, for the correct rights to apply to the correct users and groups, you will need to create the users and the groups with the exact same names that are in Confluence, or that are specified in the User id mapping and Group name mapping parameters (as these two parameters will be respected by the right migration even if groups and users are not imported).

 

 true
RootThe wiki or space in which pages will be imported. Note: Make sure your set 'Users wiki' accordingly wiki:sub, space:sub:RootInSubWiki, MyRootInCurrentWiki, My.Migration, sub:My.MigrationInSubSpace. 
Space renaming format

Specifies the format used to rename a space in case of a name conflict. The placeholder ${spaceKey} is replaced with the conflicting Confluence space name. If the resulting name still conflicts, underscores _ are appended as needed.

 ${spaceKey}_
Overwrite protected spaces

A comma-separated list of XWiki spaces that should not be overwritten during a Confluence import. If a Confluence space conflicts with a protected space, a new space will be created. The new space name will follow the Space renaming format, with underscores added if further conflicts occur.

FAQ 
Overwrite protection mode

Defines how conflicts with existing XWiki spaces are handled. There are 3 available modes:

  • NONE – no protection: Existing spaces may be partially overwritten. No new space is created.
  • NONCONFLUENCE – protects only spaces not imported from Confluence: Conflicting non Confluence spaces cause a new space to be created using the Space renaming format. Confluence imported spaces may be overwritten.
  • ANY – full protection: Any conflicting space triggers the creation of a new space using the Space renaming format.
 NONCONFLUENCE
Title spaces from their home page

Title spaces using the Confluence home page titles instead of the Confluence space names.

Home pages in Confluence are usually named something like "Home" or "SPACENAME Home", which is not very helpful. In Confluence, spaces are named and that's usually what you want as the title of spaces in XWiki.

However, if you happen to have useful home page titles, you may want to set this to true.

Space name are always taken from Confluence space keys regardless what you choose here.

 false
Store Confluence details

This parameter specifies whether to store Confluence metadata in migrated documents as objects.

This is usually useless, but in some cases, this metadata can be useful for debugging purposes and might end up useful to support CQL-based Confluence macros like spacebylabel or detailssummary in the future.

 false
Import tagsSet this to false if you don't want Confluence labels to be migrated to XWiki tags true
Unknown macro prefix

This field defines the prefix to be used for the macros specified in the "Prefixed macros" field. See also the Unprefixed macros parameter.

We do not recommend modifying this parameter. 

 confluence_
 Use Confluence Resolvers  When there is a link to a page not present in the imported package, use Confluence resolvers present in the wiki.  false  true 
Unprefixed macros

This field stores a denylist of macros that should not be prefixed. We do not recommend modifying this parameter. If set (not empty), takes precedence over "Unknown macro prefix": any macro that is not listed in the Unprefixed macros will be prefixed and the Unknown macro prefix will be ignored. If you want to prefix absolutely all macros, set this to an unlikely macro name.

 N/A
User id mapping

A mapping between Confluence user id located in the package and wanted ids.

Similar to Group name mapping, this field stores a list of A=B couples separated with a pipe character (|) where A is the name of a Confluence user and B is the desired user name in XWiki.

user1=User1|charliedo=CharlieDo|ConfluenceAlice=Alice|ConfluenceBob=Bob 
Produce user references

This parameter defines if links to user profiles should be created for existing Confluence user profile links.

 false
Group id mapping

This field offers the option to specify a list of A=X relations where A is a Confluence group id and X is a Confluence group name. A will be understood as Confluence group X. These sets are separated using the pipe character (|). This is the same format as for the User id mapping. When using a Confluence space export, this information is missing and macro parameters which refer to group ids won't be converted correctly. This parameter helps work around this issue by providing the missing information.

This parameter is used to migrate macros referring to Confluence groups in their parameters using their ids instead of their names.

Group name mapping

This field offers the option to specify a list of A=X relations where A is a Confluence group name and X is a XWiki group name. Confluence group A will migrated to XWiki group X. These sets are separated using the pipe character (|). This is the same format as for the User id mapping. When using a Confluence space export, this information is missing and macro parameters which refer to group ids won't be converted correctly. This parameter helps work around this issue by providing the missing information.

Import users

Import the users found in the Confluence package.

If this parameter is set to true, user profiles present in the export package will be imported into XWiki. Setting this parameter to "false" may be needed if you use a central user directory service like LDAP or Active Directory, in which case you need to decide on a careful user migration strategy. See also the "Import groups" parameter.

Information

Users are only present in full Confluence export packages and are not present in space export packages.

Information

Only the user profiles won't be imported from the package if this option is set to false. Permissions will still be imported for users, unless you also disable permission import. 

 true
Import groups

Import the groups found in the Confluence package.

If this parameter is set to true, groups present in the export package will be imported into XWiki. Setting this parameter to "false" may be needed if you use a central user directory service like LDAP or Active Directory, in which case you need to decide on a careful user migration strategy. See also the "Import users" parameter.

Information

Groups are only present in full Confluence export packages and are not present in space export packages.

Information

Only the groups won't be imported from the package if this option is set to false. Permissions will still be imported for groups, unless you also disable permission import. 

 true
Users wikiThe wiki where users and groups are located.

You can specify here the wiki in which users and groups are located.
If applicable, users and groups will be imported in this wiki. Any user reference, including ones in permission objects, will contain this wiki.
This is most useful in a multi wiki environment when importing confluence spaces in a subwiki, but users are located in the main wiki (xwiki), in which case, set this to "xwiki". 

 N/A (current wiki)
Verbose

This field defines whether to create detailed import logs or not.

If you are using the Confluence Migrator Pro Application, we do not recommend modifying this parameter.

 true
Link MappingThis field defines the link mapping to use to produce the correct links to pages missing from the Confluence package. Note: In Confluence Migrator Pro, this parameter is hidden and automatically managed. 
{
   "spaceKey1": {
       "page title 1": "Space.Doc1",

    },
   ":ids": {
       "43": "Space.Doc6"
    }
}
 
Confluence Instance TypeThe type of Confluence instance used to produce the backup package being imported. There are some differences in how content is managed, anchors for example are not the same. Knowing the right Confluence instance will improve the fidelity of the import. Detecting the right type of instance will be attempted if an empty value is provided. Possible values: SERVER, CLOUD. It is recommended to leave this empty, as the data is in the export packages and if it's not present, then SERVER can normally be impliedSERVER 

Imported macros

At the end of each migration you will obtain a list of all the macros present in the imported package and their supported status (supported, partial, not supported). On the Confluence Migrator Pro's homepage the summary of all the macros, along with their number of occurrences is displayed:

migrator-pro-imported-macros.png

Macro migration

XWiki and Confluence both have their sets of macros, usually used to present content in a particular manner. In order for a macro used in Confluence to display in the same manner in XWiki, the macro has to have the same name and supported parameters. In an effort to make the transition as easy as possible for organizations that migrate from Confluence to XWiki, the Pro Applications team has dedicated significant efforts to make sure the Confluence macros are converted to an equivalent XWiki macros. We also have developed macros that closely match the most used Confluence macros: Pro Macros. For some macros that are harder to migrate to native equivalent, we have developed what we call bridge macros. We propose native XWiki alternatives for them, to be used post migration. All bridge macros are prefixed with "confluence_" and the unprefixed version is also supported for compatibility reasons, for users that migrated before the prefix was introduced. 

For the macros for which we do not support migration and that are used on the Confluence instance, the wiki content will be imported, but they will not be displayed in XWiki identically to the Confluence counterpart. In view mode, an error message will appear, while in wiki edit mode, the syntax and content of the macro will be visible. As the wiki content will be imported and stored, if one of the currently unsupported macros will become available in the Pro Macros package, the content will subsequently be displayed identically to the Confluence counterpart following the update and introduction of said macro in the Pro Macros.

If one or multiple macros are required, the Client may choose to sponsor the development of those macros. Please contact sales@xwiki.com if you would like to inquiry about the development of certain macros.

We document how we migrate each Confluence macro in our Confluence macro documentation:

Below is a table that shows how well we support the migration for each Confluence macro.

Permission migration

When migrating Confluence permissions to XWiki rights, here is what happens:

Page permissions

Permissions set on a Confluence page are converted to XWiki rights set on the corresponding document following this table:

Confluence permissionXWiki right
VIEW

VIEW on the corresponding page and its children (in a XWikiGlobalRights object on the WebPreferences document corresponding to the page)

EDITEDIT on the page (in a XWikiRights object on the corresponding WebHome document)
SHARE(ignored, we don't have any corresponding right in XWiki)

Space permissions

Permissions set on a Confluence space are converted to inherited XWiki rights set on the corresponding WebPreferences page of the space  in XWikiGlobalRights objects, following this table:

Confluence permissionXWiki right
VIEWSPACEVIEW

EDITSPACE
EDITBLOG
Note: in the Confluence UI, this is what is called "Add" page right

EDIT
REMOVEBLOG
REMOVEPAGE
DELETE
COMMENTCOMMENT

ADMINISTRATECONFLUENCE
SYSTEMADMINISTRATOR
SETPAGEPERMISSIONS
SETSPACEPERMISSIONS

ADMIN
(other)(ignored)

 Note that Confluence propose many fine-grained permission for which XWiki don't have corresponding rights (including, but not limited to: EXPORTSPACE, EXPORTPAGE, REMOVEMAIL, REMOVEOWNCONTENT, CREATEATTACHMENT, REMOVEATTACHMENT, REMOVECOMMENT, PROFILEATTACHMENTS, ARCHIVEPAGE). If such a feature is needed, some custom solution needs to be found.

View right propagation, edit right handling and differences in permission management

In Confluence,

  • rights can only be further restricted. We can't open up rights in a sub page. When permissions are set to pages, they can only limit the number of users to which they grant rights. It's not possible to allow more people than those who can access parent pages. This means that if on Page A, VIEW restriction is set for Group A, and on Sub Page B, VIEW right is set for Group B, only people that are both in Group A and in Group B are allowed to see Sub Page B. It is not enough to be in Group B. We'll have to do with the fact that the migrated Sub Page B will be allowed to the whole Group B, and we'll document this discrepancy between Confluence and XWiki, unless someone is willing to setup custom right management in XWiki, which is not advisable in most cases and can surprise users who already know XWiki, and support teams
  • edit rights can be granted to users on pages , but they won't be able to edit those pages if they don't have edit permissions on the space.

In XWiki, rights will be opened up. All users of group be will be able so see Sub Page B, and a user will be able to edit a page if edit right is set for this user, even if the user didn't have edit rights on the space in Confluence.

Comparison between Confluence and XWiki concepts

During a Confluence migration, Confluence elements are migrated to the XWiki elements that are the most similar to them. Here's a table that match Confluence elements to their XWiki counterparts:

Confluence elementXWiki elementRemarks
UserUser profile in the XWiki spaceConfluence user ids can be mapped to specific XWiki user names with the user id mapping input stream property.
User ids are also used for comments and permission migrations. See Documentation on the Confluence Input filter stream parameters.
GroupsGoups in the XWiki spaceGroup names can be mapped to specific XWiki group names with the group mapping input stream property.
Group names are also used during permission migrations. See Documentation on the Confluence Input filter stream parameters.
LabelsTags (XWiki.TagClass objects)

Each label has its own XWiki tags object.

  • Page labels are set as tags on the document
  • Space labels are set as tags on the space home page
  • Attachment labels are dropped

In Confluence, a label belongs to a user. We drop this information.

Page Favorites-We don't support favorites, which are implemented using the label named "favourite"
Space Favorites-We don't support space favorites.
CommentsComments (XWiki.XWikiComments objects) 
Space

An XWiki space and all its children

often a root space, though not necessarily if the "root space" parameter of the migrator is used

The confluence space key is, by default, translated to a XWiki entity name, following the XWiki page name validation, at the root of the wiki or in the space set in the "root space" parameter.

Note: A confluence space is not the same thing as an XWiki space.

  • A confluence space is something at the root of the instance that contains a document tree, among other things
  • A XWiki space is just one level in the tree and is not necessarily at the root

Confluence users might be confused by this subtle semantic difference and could cause misunderstandings between us and the clients.

Space descriptionNothingThe space descriptions are discarded. We don't have such a thing in XWIki
Space Home pageXWiki WebHome DocumentSpace home pages are migrated to the top level WebHome page in the migrated space.
Space documentXWiki WebHome Document

Documents are migrated as XWiki WebHome documents in their own space.

Their name is built from their title in confluence (optionally and by default converted to a valid name in the page naming strategy of XWiki).

Content marked as deleted, archived or draft is not imported. If the locale parameter is set, it will be used for the locale of all imported documents.

These properties will be set from the Confluence page object property:

  • The parent
  • The revision
  • The revision comment

The creation author, the creation date and the title of the document are set from the revision author, the revision date and the title present in the Confluence Page object.

Note: the "Preserve version" output filter stream parameter needs to be set to true for dates to be kept after migration, or the document date will be set to the time at which the document was migrated. The creation author can also be overridden using an output filter stream parameter. Output filter stream parameters are hidden from the Confluence Migrator Pro UI.

For the content, the confluence syntax are translated into XWiki syntax, including macros. Some macros need special handling and  are imported in a specific way (especially if for some Confluence macro named X, there exists a XWiki macro named X that does not do the same thing. Then X is renamed to a macro Y that implement X with similar functionality as in Confluence, either in XWiki Standard or in the Pro Macros).

Document historyXWiki document revisionsOptional and by default.
Space PermissionsXWiki rights objects in a WebPreferences documentSee Confluence to XWiki permission mapping. 
Document PermissionsXWiki rights objects in the document
Blog space Same as space
Blog descriptorXWiki WebHome document with a Blog.BlogClass object

At the time of writing, title is set to the blog space name, postsLayout is set to "image" and is displayType is set to "paginated".

Blog postsXWiki Document with a Blog.BlogPostClass objectBlog posts are migrated as Blog.BlogPostClass objects, each in its XWiki terminal documents. At the time of writing, title is set to the blog post title, published is set to 1, content is set to the content, hidden is set to 0
AttachmentAttachment

If the actual attachment file is not found in the export package, the attachment won't be imported at all.
The attachment size is taken from the confluence export XML file if present, fallback to the actual file content size if not found.

Confluence XML 9.78.0+ 

Attachments history is imported.

Confluence object idConverted object title or name

All confluence object has an integer id. This id isn't kept in XWiki. When applicable, its key (for spaces) or title (for documents) is used instead and converted (using page name validation for document and space names).

If the "Store Confluence details" is set to true, confluence detail are stored in a Confluence.Code.ConfluencePageClass object (id : the page id, url: the reconstructed confluence url, space: the space key).

Language macros (multilingual support)Multilingual documents

The way it works in Confluence: in the same document, you add macros named french, or english (Ieach supported language probably has a macro of its name, unprefixed). Then, when you display the document, only the parts matching your language are displayed. There's an "All" mode that displays everything.

If the Translated content support is enabled (which is the default; see input-parameters), pages containing different languages are converted to translated XWiki documents. If the support is disabled,  all the content is migrated, leaving these language macros as is (with a confluence_ prefix by default), in one document.

Batch migration

Batch migrations

Migrating an entire Confluence site in one go is often impractical: creating a site export from Confluence might take too long, and importing a huge package in XWiki can cause issues.

For these reasons, we designed the batch migration feature, which let you initiate several (space) migrations at the same time. The migrations will run one after the other unattended so you don't have to wait for each migration to finish to manually start the next one.

To use this feature, you will need to be able to put all the space exports you want to migrate on the server hosting your wiki, at a location XWiki can read.

How to create a batch migration, step by step

In the Confluence Migrator Pro home page, open the "Create or copy batches to import multiple Confluence exports" section. Then, click on the "New batch" button.

1 - welcome.png

Enter the path where the space exports can be found optionally select an existing migration from which you wish to retrieve the migration parameters, then click "Confirm".

1754314577456-217.png

Give a name to your batch, select the exports you want to migrate, and click on "Create the batch".

3 - create batch.png

You can review the parameters of the batch, and then click "Run the migrations". In the following page, you will be able to choose how to run the migrations (dry run, to test the feature, or actual run)

4 - created.png

The following screen is where you actually run the batch. If you want to check if everything is okay before running the migrations, you can choose "dry run", which will not actually perform the migrations but only simulate them.

5 - run.png

The next screen lets you know the name of the migrations that are running. Click on the name of your batch ("My test" in this example).

6 - running.png

This leads to the status page of the batch. You can know which migrations are done, which migration is running and which migrations are waiting. You can visit each migration separately.

Warning

For performance reasons, the status of migrations is not updated in real time. This is because you can run several dozens, if not hundreds, of migration in one batch and querying the wiki for the status of a hundred of migrations would not be nice to your server.

7 - status.png

That's it! Make sure you review each migration and check it ran correctly and no issue requires attention.

Post Migration fixes

There are fixes you need to apply after migrating your content, especially if you are migrating several spaces separately.

Reference fixing

In particular, you need to fix references. The reason is that when migrating a space that has links to documents that are in spaces that are not migrated yet, the migrator doesn't have all the data it needs to build proper links. After migrating these target spaces, links can be fixed.

To do this, go to the "Post migration fixes" tab.

postmigfixes.png

Then, click on the "Manage broken links and missing Confluence references". You land on the reference fixer home page:

referencefixer.png

Click on "Create a reference fixing session":

newreferencefixingsession.png

Then, you can select one or several migrations to fix. The other fields can be left empty.

Alternatively, instead of selecting migations, you can provide an XWiki space in which all children pages are to fix. If you do this, do not forget to also provide the base URL of your former Confluence instance.

Then, and click "Save and view":

beforerunningreferencefixing.png

Review the settings, and then you can click on Dry run to try out the fixing. When you are happy with the results, you can perform the actual fixing by clicking on the "Run" button.

This will give you a report, in which you can review the logs as well:

Metadata migration

Starting from version 1.36.0, Confluence Migrator Pro provides a tool to import metadata from the Metadata for Confluence plugin to the Metadata Pro application.

Information

If you import metadata set values (not only metadata set definitions), you need to migrate the corresponding Confluence space using Confluence Migrator Pro before importing the metadata.

First, export data from Metadata for Confluence. You will get a json file for each space.

Then, head over to the migrator. You'll find it from the "Other migration tools" tab in the Confluence Migrator Pro's home page.

migrator.png

Click on the "Browse" button to select a json file to migrate. When the file is uploaded, click on "Select Package".

migration-creation.png

To validate the creation of the migration session, click on Save and View. You can customize how sets will be named and where they are migrated to, but we suggest leaving the defaults.

migration-before-start.png

When you are ready, click on "Start migration".

Then, you'll see a progress bar and you will be able to follow the migration steps. We strongly advise monitoring the logs to check if everything goes well.

When the job finishes, refresh the page to check the report and whether the numbers of import sets, fields and values check out.

 migration-report.png

Documentation archive

As the migrator evolved, some documentation became obsolete. We are keeping it around in an Archive document
