Hi All, &nbsp;I have a business requirement to migrate SharePoint List data from one SharePoint instance to another SharePoint instance. (Lists are not in the same Site Collection/Web App, but completely separate instance). &nbsp;I've been experimenting with SSIS and the Source and Destination adapters on <a href="https://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17652" rel="ugc">Code Plex</a> and I think I'm very close. &nbsp;However, there are a few important columns that are not coming over properly and that is the SharePoint &quot;Choice&quot; column type with &quot;Checkboxes (allow multiple selections)&quot;.<br />
<br />
As you could imagine the data in those columns cover over, but not properly even when the destination column is also a lookup with the same options. &nbsp;It looks something like this when multiple selections are in a single column: 2, OptionA, 1, OptionB<br />
<br />
I have basic experience with SP Designer and SSIS and am more on the Admin side, not development. &nbsp;I realize this wouldn't be fully supported by Microsoft, but we do need to migrate this data somehow.<br />
<br />
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Migrating SharePoint List Data between SharePoint instances using SSIS

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Microsoft SharePoint

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that can be used to perform a broad range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a platform for data integration and workflow applications. It features a fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). The tool may also be used to automate maintenance of SQL Server databases and updates to multidimensional cube data. SSIS replaced Data Transformation Services, which had been a feature of SQL Server since Version 7.0.
