Step 1: Gather Whole Data:

Data is nothing but Content. Content can be describe into three different major roles in order to use or move it for a new website.

1)      Most of you may have certain doubt that how data can be easily transferred..? Will it going to be run in a live database that will answer all the queries of migration script or is there any other way offered via a robust API that will reply to the numbers of request essential to relay the content through the testing phases and last migration process?

2)      The Arrangement and setup of Data can be typical, unpredictable. In creation of niche relevant content many spend lot of time to make it more attractive. But it would be best if your word.doc or XML Sheet are clear and in usable manner. But need to make a proper note few things like headers in word.doc which will save extra time.

3)      To adjust data into the new site you need to grab good skills in understanding different values, formats because it may be presented individual.

Gathering whole Content is a one- time process. Making a whole gathered content in file and transferring might be simple. The main thing arises where if client want only limited data not the whole one then you need to analyze which one is necessary to according to niche.

Drupal 8 Migration – (Based on the remarkable migrate module from the old version of Drupal) It can be easily editable and has flexible, extensible architecture that allows to recover, analyze, and understand data value of all kinds.

Important things to be notice “Dates” it is the common problem arises while transforming content. Transform content according to the new dates and it should be fit for the presentation of future content. So it’s better to have record of everything like dates wise and plan according to the present competition.

Step 3: Save the Content:

Once you gathered with whole content and finalized with arrangement, set-up and submitted in new site. Now it’s time to save the data record and construct it. After submitting the whole data into a new site the standard process of Drupal process will make the content in separate divisions in new site so need to be quite alert while arranging the existing content.

In Drupal 7 validation of entity model is a part of save API it was marked at best. But coming to Drupal 8 entity API, The entity fields are validated by the save option only. And coming to the part of manually checking you need to focus on migration errors and broken content. Developers at Drupal have more details on Entity Validation API you can go through it to know how to use outside of migrations.
