I am current running a legacy Magento 1.7.0.2 server. I would like to move to Magento 2.2.6 but I haven't seen any clear documentation on whether or not this is a possible upgrade path.
If not, is there a way to take a clean 2.2.6 server, installed on another server, and then migrate just the data from my older 1.7.0.2 instance and customized images, into the 2.2.6 server?
Hi, @weaseleyroceff
Yes you are right you just need to install a fresh version of 2.2.6 and after that install the data migration tool from the magento by the following link. https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/migration/migration-tool-install.html
This will install a fresh version of the data migration module now you have to configure the config.xml file
<source>
<database host="127.0.0.1" name="magento1" user="root"/>
</source>
<destination>
<database host="127.0.0.1" name="magento2" user="root"/>
</destination>
<options>
<crypt_key />
</options>
Optional parameters:
Database user password: password=<password>
Database custom port: port=<port>
Table prefix: <source_prefix>, <dest_prefix>
Then after properly configuring run the desired command to migrate the data
bin/magento migrate:<mode> [-r|--reset] [-a|--auto] {<path to config.xml>}
<mode> may be: settings, data, or delta
hope this will help
Thanks
