The xDB to CDP migration tool

Version: 10.4

To use the migration tool, you need to download and import the xDB to CDP migration package to your Sitecore Connect instance. The package:

  1. Extracts the data from xDB.

  2. Transforms the data to a format that can be interpreted by CDP.

  3. Transfers the data to CDP.

The migration tool consists of two connections and four recipes.

Connections

  • Sitecore XP Connection - responsible for establishing connection to the xDB database.

  • Sitecore CDP Connection - responsible for establishing connection to Sitecore CDP.

Recipes

The xDB to CDP Migration tool contains 4 recipes:

  • [XCM] REC001 | Processing Recipe Trigger - responsible for repeatedly triggering the [XCM] REC002 | Load And Transform Contacts From xDB recipe until all the contacts are processed.

    Important

    Only built-in facets are mapped to guest data extensions in CDP. If you have custom facets, you need to configure the mappings before running the triggering recipe.

  • [XCM] REC002 | Load And Transform Contacts From xDB - responsible for extracting and transforming the data from xDB.

  • [XCM] REC003 | Upload Contacts to CDP - responsible for pushing the data to CDP.

  • [XCM] REC004 | Migrate Contacts By ID - a standalone recipe responsible for migrating specific contacts.
