i have done a tenant to tenant move. Now I try to move the sharepoit data, but the url is invalid.get the message:This site is not supported. Enter a site URL for SharePoint 2010, 2013, or 2016.URL: https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxxxxx What is going wrong?

SPMT is used for SharePoint Server/File Server -> SharePoint Online. From the sounds of it, you're trying to use it for SharePoint Online -> SharePoint Online which is not supported.A third party tool like Sharegate would be worth investigating for tenant to tenant content migration.

SharePoint migration tools often generate problems. It needs a hybrid human/automated approach. Prepping ahead of migration also helps: https://akitais.com/news/how-to-approach-a-sharepoint-migration/

peerwbcan you provide a bit more information on what actually happens and where you get the error, are you still using the old tenant URL or using the new Tenant URL.. are you able to find the site on the Sharepoint Admin Center...
