Project Server VME: Run pre-migration scripts (optional)

Applies to: Project Server 2010

Topic Last Modified: 2013-12-18

After checking for reserved custom field, lookup table, and outline code names in your Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 data in the Project Server Virtual Migration Environment (VME), you have the option to run the following migration scripts. The migration scripts are optional, but are highly recommended to help find issues that might prevent you from migrating your data correctly.

• Run Migration Script 1 to check the Project Server 2003 data

• Run Migration Script 2 to capture statistics about the data

• Run Migration Script 3 to capture a Project Server 2003 data snapshot

• Run Migration Script 4 to capture all Project Server 2003 projects with associated project workspaces

The Project Server virtual migration environment is a Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 virtual environment used to migrate Project Server 2003 data to Microsoft Project Server 2010. There is no direct migration path from Office Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010. However, the Project Server VME can be used as a pass-through environment to upgrade your Project Server 2003 data to Office Project Server 2007 before upgrading the data to Project Server 2010. For more information about the Project Server virtual migration environment, see Migrate your Project Server 2003 data by using the VME.
