    Hi AbhishekIlindra  
    Can I know the platform from where you want to export and approx record count you want to export?  Actually, we have a similar experience of migration(Wordpress to Lithium and vice-versa).

    I wouldn't have thought so and even if there was you'd have a massive amount of work on your hands building a bot or something to process.

    My best advice would be to speak with PS for help

    I've done a data migration with PS and I can assure you they are very skilled and won't let you down. All my data was mapped from vbulletin to lithium dataset and 100% moved across.

    Rest calls will not work because they do not allow youto backdate the content. It indeed has to be written directly to the database which only Lithium Professional Service is capable of doing.

  • Yes,

     

    However, you're not able to do this yourself but with the assistance of professional services, they can do this. As part of the engagement with PS you'll have a mapping exercise where every field or row will be mapped from your data export to the fields in the data import. 

     

    They have done this many times over and will have no doubt done a migration from your system before so may be worth speaking with your account team or raising a ticket with support who can point you in right direction.

     

    Thanks
