Other Warnings

Updated

Symptoms

When running the Pre-Check Report, Sharegate displays the following message:

Other warnings.

Error Code

Not applicable. 

Details

There are several issues that can be reported by running the Pre-Check Report that would not prevent the copy of items because Sharegate will use its smarts to work around the problem. For instance, if the site template used by the site that you would like to copy cannot be found on your destination server, Sharegate will automatically fallback on the default site template. Since you may find minor differences between your source and target after the copy process, we feel it is preferable to warn you in advance, should you wish to fix the issue beforehand.
 
It is important to note that items that get listed under Other warnings will still be migrated when you attempt to perform the actual copy.

Solution

Since these warnings would not prevent the copy from succeeding, there is no definitive solution for them. We invite you to investigate these on a case-by-case basis and determine if steps should be taken to fix these issues before you start the actual copy. You can get more information about the warning by first double-clicking on the  Other warnings row in the Pre-Check Report tab, and then double-clicking on an individual item in the Pre-Check Details tab.

Please rest assured that we are committed to helping you complete successful migrations. You are welcome to reach out to our amazing support team who will go out of their way to help you understand these issues. We are also constantly monitoring the warnings that fall into the Other warnings category to determine if we can come up with a knowledge base article that will be truly useful to our customers.

    When we use "Duplicate site collection" option with the communication sites, ShareGate is creating the new sites with the base template as Classic Team sites. Is there a way to specify templates when trying to duplicate site collections? If no options in GUI do we have any equivalent commands in ShareGate PowerShell?
