About migrated and unmigrated SharePoint sites

Unmigrated sites should continue to be archived using the redirected URL. Migrated sites should continue to be archived from the normal URL. You can also configure newly created SharePoint 2007 sites for archiving.

The following example shows the use of redirection during the gradual migration process.

Before upgrade:

SharePoint site URL: http://sharepoint/sites/site1
Enterprise Vault target URL: http://sharepoint/sites/site1
Enterprise Vault will archive site URL: http://sharepoint/sites/site1

After upgrade, before site is migrated:

SharePoint site URL: http://sharepoint/sites/site1 is redirected to http://sharepoint:8003/sites/site1
Enterprise Vault target URL is unchanged: http://sharepoint/sites/site1
Enterprise Vault will archive unmigrated site at redirected URL: http://sharepoint:8003/sites/site1

After upgrade, when site has been migrated:

SharePoint site URL: http://sharepoint/sites/site1 - no redirection
Enterprise Vault target URL is still unchanged: http://sharepoint/sites/site1
Enterprise Vault will archive migrated site URL: http://sharepoint/sites/site1
