Third Party Tools To Upgrade WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013?

Since you cannot upgrade WSS 3.0 directly to SharePoint Foundation 2013 using just the SharePoint software, I wanted to look at 3rd party tools that automate the migration directly to 2013 without requiring an intermediate upgrade to 2010.
We have a simple WSS 3.0 farm with 2 SharePoint Servers and 2 SQL servers that are are load balanced so that the site stays up if any one of the servers goes down.  It may be just round robin load balancing.
I'd like to see if I can determine if any of these migration tools would save enough time and effort for this type of environment to be worth the cost.  It would be nice if we could do the upgrade all in once day instead of having 2 outages.

HI,There are third party tools to upgrade sharepoint but not from wss 3.0 to directly sharepoint 2013.Its not at all possible as I know.Please find the below link that clearly explains the Upgrade process.

It looks like there are such products.  
This one says it can be used to migrate directly from even WSS 2.0 to SharePoint 2013.
http://www.fpweb.net/sharepoint-2013/migrate-sharepoint-2003-to-sharepoint-2013/
I don't like that it doesn't indicate anything about pricing on the page so you have to call a sales rep and give away all your contact information before you can get a quote.  I probably will not call them.
We would "like" to speed up the migration process and have only a single outage, but since the SharePoint environment is small, we will not be spending thousands of dollars just to save having to do two upgrades.  We would probably end up just
going to 2010 and canceling the 2013 upgrade if needed.

  • Value of upgrading WSS 3.0 To SharePoint Foundation?

    We have a WSS 3.0 site which the primary purpose is for storing documents that are shared with external business partners who have AD accounts in our domain without them needing to have VPN and access to our file servers.  It is especially useful for
    documents that are over mail size limits or are too sensitive to be sent over email.  Few other features of WSS are in use.
    They simply open a browser and browse to the URL, and log in using account credentials on our domain which we have assigned to them.  From there they can download and upload documents.
    Also, we use Office 2010, so we will not be able to use any of the features of SharePoint Foundation 2013 that are not compatible with Office versions below 2013.
    Since WSS 3.0 has support until late 2017, is there any real value to upgrading to SharePount Foundation 2010 for this use case other than getting a modernized look and feel?
    We could just wait until 2016 and upgrade to whatever version of SharePoint Foundation that comes out after 2013.

    I believe in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" atttude. If what you have is working for your needs and your users are happy, upgrading may not make sense in your specific case.
    My only concern is the upgrade path. As it stands today, to upgrade from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013 using out of the box methods, you need to first upgrade to SharePoint Foundation 2010 (in-place or database attach) and then again upgrade to SharePoint
    2013 (database attach only).
    Let's say a new version of SharePoint Foundation comes out sometime between now and before support for WSS 3.0 ends. I would expect the upgrade path to be the same as I just outlined above, along with another step to upgrade from 2013 to vNext.
    Whether you upgrade now or upgrade later you'll still need to go through the same process. I suppose what really matters is when you want to upgrade.
    As always the third-party community will likely have solutions to migrate directly when vNext launches. :)

  • No Page title after migration from WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Dear community,
    I have migrated serval sitecollections from WSS 3.0 (SharePoint 2007) to SharePoint 2010 Foundation and then to SharePoint Foundation 2013.
    Now in SharePoint 2013 no page titles appears, but under the title "Homepage" appears. I'dont know where "Homepage" is come from. The title of the page is "Test". Changing the title has no effect. In SharePoint 2010 Foundation
    the page titles appears correctly.
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  • Old third-party tool causing edit properties form to now load properly.

    When our environment was SharePoint 2007 we had a third party tool that was used for indexing documents.  Because of this it had a custom form to edit the properties of a list item or document.  This add-on was removed from all of the sites prior
    to upgrade to SharePoint 2013 - except for one that was overlooked. 
    Now when someone attempts to edit an item they are created with an error.  I've tracked it back to trying to load this custom form to edit the properties and obviously that add-on isn't there any longer.  
    Does anyone have any suggestions to reset the edit properties form to the SharePoint default?  It's not terribly convenient to recreate this list so I'd love to be able to make the change in-place as opposed to starting from the 2007 backup. 
    Thanks,
    Troy

    Hi Troy,
    For resetting customized list forms from InfoPath forms back to default forms , you can take steps as below:
    1.Located the list in question and use the ribbon to select List > List Settings.
    2.On the List Settings page, select “Form settings” under “General Settings“.
    3.Change the Form Option from “Modify the existing InfoPath form” to “Use the default SharePoint form“. If you want to completely remove the form, also check “Delete the InfoPath Form from the server“.

  • Third Party tools nw2004s

    Everyone,
    we are doing major upgrade from 3.5 to nw2004s.I have links from the master guide regarding the upgrades but can any one tell me how does it affect our third party tools already running on 3.5x.
    do they still continue running on new release,if yes are there any new patches available for that??
    thanks

    In addition
    The latest BI release in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) includes a new type of DataSource for which our staging BAPI has not yet been aligned.
    Third party ETL tool vendors can therefore only implement their load processes using the original type of DataSource from BW 3.x. This DataSource is still provided in the new release without any changes. Upgrading to NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI (BI 7.0) does not therefore endanger existing implementations based on BW 3.x and NetWeaver 2004 (BW 3.5).
    It is also possible to migrate third party ETL implementations based on BW 3.x into the new data-flow concept of a NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI environment using new DataSources, transformations (also new), and data transfer processes (DTP) (also new). This is possible because the system provides an emulated view for BW 3.x DataSources, which makes it possible to combine them with NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) transformations and DTPs for regular batch load processing (this does not include direct access and real-time data acquisition (RDA)).
    This allows the benefits of the new data loading concept to be made available in such third party ETL-based loading scenarios.
    Hope it Helps

  • Error while creating the proxy object to connect to a third party tool.

    Hi,
    I tried creating a proxy object with the wsdl file. I even created a HTTP connection to the third party tool. but when I try to execute the whole proxy object, I am getting the below error. Can anyone help me on this?
    "Proxy-Generierung: Fehler aufgetreten"
    "Incorrect value: Entity "<<document>>"(92 /3788 ). end tag 'ul' does not match begin tag 'p'"
    Thanks & Regards,
    Veerabhadra Rao A.

    do a check on the wsdl file and how you are passing values in the proxy. The tags for XML are not correct. Open the WSDL in IE and see there must be an error. Or probably when passing the actual values to the XML generated each element is not closed properly. Error says tags dont match.

  • Third party tool which can create infosets in SAP R/3

    Hi All, Is there any third party tool that could create infosets in ECC for reporting.We integrated crystal reports with ECC and want to create queries using infosets and make use of BAPI's. There are several 100's of reports to be developed and we are afraid we might make mistakes when we have to join all the tables in ECC during infoset creation. We are hoping to find a third party tool that could do this or has infosets that could be used.

  • CONNECT ORACLE11g database in sharepoint 2013 without using metaman or any third party tool

    Hi!
              I want to access ORACLE db and bring it as an external list  in SharePoint 2013. How can it be achieved without using third party tools? So far i referred Creating
    web service, .Net connectivity assembly or crafting the BCS xml model file manually are the techniques that can be employed to achieve. Can anyone share the code to create External content type and External list by adopting any one of the techniques.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    To connect SharePoint to your Oracle Database, you should use the BCS.
    You will find here what is the structure of the XML File to create to access your Oracle DB.

  • Open hub Destinations - Third-Party Tools As Destinations

    Dear all, below is the SAP Help process flow steps. I am quiet clear of all the steps except the APIs. Where do we define these APIs? When it says "You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction" where do I use it? Is it in the 3rd party tool? or is it in SAP BI.
    If it is in 3rd party tool, where in 3rd party tool. Do I need to write as code ? or would I have an option in the 3rd party tool?
    If someone can help me with Microsoft connector using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages to SAP BI that would be helpful.
    Where in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services packages can I use/put this APIs? Any help Plzz
    If it is in SAP BI where in SAP BI do I have to use these APIs? Any help is highly appreciated
    Regards,
    KK
    Process Flow:
    Extraction to the third-party tool can be executed as follows:
           1.      You define an open hub destination with Third-Party Tool as the destination type.
           2.      You create an RFC destination for your third-party tool and enter it in the definition of the open hub destination.
           3.      You use API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS to define the parameters for the third-party tool that are required for the extraction.
           4.      You either start extraction immediately or include it in a process chain. You can also start this process chain from the third-party tool using process chain API RSPC_API_CHAIN_START. The extraction process then writes the data to a database table in the BI system.
           5.      When the extraction process is finished, the system sends a notification to the third-party tool using API RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY.
           6.      The extracted data is read by API RSB_API_OHS_DEST_READ_DATA.
           7.      The status of the extraction is transferred to the monitor by API RSB_API_OHS_REQUEST_SETSTATUS.

    It's been a along time since i worked with open hub, but here goes:
    The Third Party tool needs parameters or switches to work correctly. Think of the old DOS commanda the  "/a" "/b" suffix.
    The APIs are simply a way to pass these parameters from the BW source to the Third Party target.
    If your tool does not need them, don't worry about them.

  • Integration of ChaRM with third party tools

    Hi all,
    We are in the process of building the solution for Change Request Management implementation integrated with third party tool. 
    As the normal process for ChaRM is to work with the Service Desk functionality (to raise a ticket, then support message, change request, change document etc...), but what we need is create the change request, and change document directly with ChaRM without using the Service Desk functionality. 
    Did anybody come across this situation?
    Please share your experience. 
    Thanks in advance.
    Balaji

    Hi Balaji,
    there is no problem, as I understand, you want to use ChaRM without Service Desk. OK, than you create directly a Change Request in CRMD_ORDER, the transaction type you have to select is SDCR (standard transaction type), you have to approve it and then you can create a change document, it is not necessary that you start with a Service Desk ticket like SLFN.
    You need configured TMS a SolMan Project with a Maintenance Cycle, thats it (but this is enough , don't forget the customizing).
    I hope I understood you correct

    HI Mike,
    If you have third party Document Management System, then you can post two different message, i.e. service order in transaction details of the third party tool with link to document which would be posted to third party Document management server.
    If you don't have third party document management system and what to use sap infrastructure, then you don't need to maintain attachment, maintain the link between the third party tool and SAP document repository, with some login utilities.

    Pratik Patel.
