I found this modules which I undertand will help me with this task.I've read the documentation but I don't fully understand the diferences between them.

From Drupal-toDrupal data migration (migrate_d2d) module page:

migrate_d2d provides a framework based on the Migrate API

So the diference is - migrate is an API module for migrations, and migrate_d2d uses it to perform task like yours. Either way you will use migrate, only difference is - do you feel you need to write what authors of migrate_d2d already wrote? Or maybe you want to use or modify their work to save some time?

  • so, using migrate_d2d will save me to write code that is already written? am I right?

  • @chefnelone yes. It will still use migrate in the background. And it will force you to do things the way authors of migrate_d2d decided to go. But migrating from Drupal to Drupal does not leave too wide field for interpretation ;) so it does not hurt.

  • @chefnelone and you cannot use migrate directly, as it is an API with no user interface and no "external" interface. It does nothing on it's own (out-of-the-box it only can create, but not read) and always require external code to use it.
