MigrationWiz Endpoints

Migrations utilize "endpoints" to facilitate connection and communication with the source and destination environments. These endpoints are management objects that contain preset bundles of connection settings and administrator credentials. 

Endpoints can also define other information, such as the number or type of items to move, the order in which to move items, and certain settings specific to the source or destination environments. 

Within MigrationWiz, endpoints allow for presets that simplify the connections between source and destination. 

Each environment we support migrating to or from has at least one endpoint configured specifically to that environment. Endpoints may have specific advanced options built into them to help map users, convert file types, and protect information, depending on the requirements of the environment. Some environments may have more than one endpoint associated with them to manage different kinds of migration. For example, we offer multiple OneDrive endpoints to allow for GCC migrations and version & metadata migrations. 

Endpoints must be set up before use. New endpoints can be set up in MigrationWiz. The steps for this section outline how to create the endpoints in MigrationWiz.

If you select an existing endpoint, keep in mind that only ten endpoints will show in the drop-down. If you have more than ten, you may need to search. Endpoint search is case and character-specific. For example, Cust0mer will not show up if the search is customer. We recommend keeping a list of endpoints you have created, along with any unique spellings or capitalization you may have used.

You may either use existing endpoints or create new ones. 

This document is intended as a quick reference for the endpoint types, as well as what licenses they utilize, which migration scenarios they support, permission requirements, and other relevant information. All information is covered in more depth in the individual migration guides and other documentation. 

For a full list of specific scenarios, see Supported Migration Scenarios.

Each section provides a brief overview of the endpoint in the description. To view the details of the endpoint, simply click to expand the accordion. You may close the accordion by clicking on its title. 

Google Products

MigrationWiz migrates G Suite mailboxes, Google Drive, and Google Vault. For migration guides and supporting documentation, see G Suite/Gmail Migrations.

G Suite (Gmail API)

Using the Google API for migration allows mailboxes to be migrated even when IMAP is disabled on the Google tenant. Many corporate policies disable IMAP automatically due to security concerns. While this can usually be worked around, it adds another step to the complexity of the process. With the API endpoint, that step is skipped. Migrating with Google API

G Suite (Gmail API) Details

Mailbox migrations. This endpoint applies to G Suite as both a source and a destination.

Supported Connecting Endpoints

  • G Suite (Gmail API)
