Data migration from 1 to 2: can you re-run the tool to update orders and data from a live store?

[captainharlock]

Hi all,

I was successful in running the migration scripts for Magento 1 > 2 community edition, and our beta Magento 2 store is up and running internally for testing and finishing.  We have a lot of little tweaks to do to get it to look like the old site and sort out new plugins for some Magento 1-only plugins we have to replace.   It will be several weeks before we switch the live site to the new store. 

Is it possible to re-run the migration tool to grab a fresh copy of the inventory and orders from the live store right before making the new store live?  That way we won't lose any order data.  If so what switches or options or methodology would I use? 

We are using CartSpan to interface with Quickbooks and it might freak out if there are previous orders missing on the site.

Thank you,

-Mike

Hi @captainharlock ,

Yes, previously if you did the migration from the live store database then there is a option of delta migration. Which will migrate only the updated data from the last migration.

Thank you so much.  This will be very helpful.  We are running CartSpan to interface with Quickbooks and it doesn't like discrepancies in order data.
