Click on the names of scripts below to download:

• mirasvit_kb_m1_export.php - script for exporting Knowledge Base data to XML file.
• mirasvit_kb_m2_import.php - script for importing Knowledge Base data from XML file.

How to perform Migration

Follow these steps to correctly perform migration:

1. Run standard Magento 2 migration, and make sure, that customers and orders were transferred from your M1 store to M2;
2. Make sure, that Knowledge Base for Magento 2 is installed on your M2 store.
3. Place mirasvit_kb_m1_export.php to the root of your M1 store, and run it either:
   • From browser by opening URL http://store_m1.com/mirasvit_kb_m1_export.php, or
   • From SSH/Console: navigate to your store's root and run command php -f mirasvit_kb_m1_export.php
4. If script returned success, file kb_export.xml will be created at the root of the store, with all your data. Transfer it to the root of your M2 store;
5. Place mirasvit_kb_m2_import.php to the root of your M2 store, and run it either:
   • From browser by opening URL http://store_m1.com/mirasvit_kb_m2_import.php, or
   • From SSH/Console: navigate to your store's root and run command php -f mirasvit_kb_m2_import.php
6. Check migrated data.
7. When migration is completed, remove both migration scripts.

Troubleshooting

In some cases import script can crush on timeout or memory overloading error (due to large quantities of data). In this case just restart import script by reloading browser page. It will skip previously uploaded data, and proceed from the last unprocessed record.
