Migrate Sharepoint 2.0 Calendar to 3.0
Migrate Sharepoint 2.0 Calendar to 3.0
- How can I migrate the calendar in sharepoint 2.0 to sharepoint 3.0? I only need the calendar data and nothing else.
Answers
- Hello,
I would try exporting the calendar to Excel and then create a new list by importing the speadsheet.
As far as "migrating," none of the standard upgrade options (In Place, Gradual, Database migration) will be this granular. Only a third party product will have this type of capability. Unfortunately, the price tag for most migration tools isn't ideal for migrating one list.
Saving the site as a template in v2 won't work either. .stp files from v2 will not work in v3.

- The simplest way if you have little or no customization of the "sharepoint 2.0" (next time say WSS 2.0 or SPS 2003 so we know exactly where we are - I'm assuming WSS 2.0) system is to upgrade in place to WSS 3.0. Take a backup first so you can go back if the upgrade in place fails.Once that is done save the calendar with Save List as Template (with content).This *v3* template can then be used in any v3 site.-------------------If you have a lot of customization in your present installation and can find suitable media install WSS 2.0 on a spare server (needs little RAM) and then run Save List as template (with content) on the original server.This *v2* template can then be used on your spare server.Then upgrade the spare server in n place to WSS 3.0.As before save the calendar with Save List as Template (with content).This *v3* template can then be used in any v3 site.
