Migrating Posts

Posted on by 500 Most Valuable Professional

I'm looking to migrate posts from an on-premise to on-line environment.  I've migrated countless other OOB and Custom Tables, but Posts are unique in a couple ways:

  1. There is no OverriddenCreatedOn (on it and most of the related post records).  So how does one handle creating these historical records?
  2. There are multiple other records that are associated to it as well in relationships that are and sometimes aren't entirely obvious
    1. PostComment - Each time a comment is added to a post, it's stored here, which makes sense.  
    2. PostFollow - Note she what this is..  Maybe if you tag a user in a post?
    3. PostLike - When someone likes a post, it's stored here, which again makes sense.
    4. PostRegarding - I'm assuming this is when you tag another entity in a post?  
    5. PostRole - Really not sure what this does.

Does anyone have any C# code that works against the SDK that faithfully allows Posts to be migrated?  What parts of it can be migrated, and what parts can't ( For example, I'm assuming due to the lack of OverridenCreatedOn dates, that it is impossible to set the created on dates)?

    Just curious if there are any third party tools could do this job (migrating social media files such as 'posts')
