InfoPath 2010 to SharePoint Online Migration Feasibility
Hi we have following scenarios to migrate Infopath 2010 to SharePoint Online. We do understand the long term solution is Power Apps regardless of the scenario. But lets think in short term we nee...
Managed code won't work, that will need to be replaced
you meant scenario 6 and 7 must-be rebuilt using PowerApps instead trying to migrate the form and search for remedies (where there are none), correct?
- First thing I would do is plan this migration carefully: How are you going to do the migration? Using a third party migration tool? If so, you could test your non-code scenarios to see if with a migration tool is enough...if not you might need to migrate the data model used in the InfoPath forms and then publish the forms to SPO
Tools will be metalogix. However, question is how these 7 different scenarios will behave once the migration done and what the remedies supposed to be to get them worked. e..g scenario 1, the remidy suppose to be re-configure the people pickers with Azure identity service?
I have not receive satisfactorily answers for these so far in the research, hence the question raised here
- Well, as long as your forms does not have managed code they should work in SPO...and I say "they should" because I don't know how your forms are built and I cannot ensure you are going to face issues when publishing in SPO that's we I recommend you to start a test as soon as possible...just take a form where you have implemented points 1-5, publish it to SPO and document any issue you have and steps required to fix them.
I see also an issue here in regards of InfoPath version: you have InfoPath 2010 forms that should be supported in SPO, but this is something you also need to verify here.
In summary, InfoPath forms are supported in SPO until 2026 (that's Microsoft Commitmment), in your migration scenario you could have issues with the forms because of their version (2010) and also because they are coming from OnPrem what means you might need to republish them in case the migration tool does not migrate them to SPO
