Sitecore 8.2 to sitecore 9.2 migration: Not an easy task

Having said that sitecore 9.2 changes are far more different from sitecore 8.2 . If you look at the Kb site and even sitecore 9.2 xconnect, Identity server and so on. It comes with lot of changes which makes CD .net solution migration unbearable.

The main pain areas that would need tackle. I'm not talking about mongo db /Xdb or Xconnect , cms migration stuff. I'm talking about sitecore mvc .net solution what needs to be replatform. It  is huge effort. I wondered sometime , is it worth doing sitecore 8.2 to sitecore 9.2 migration or shall I wait for sitecore to reflatform its whole technology stack into .NET Core.


Pain areas:-


  • App_Config
  • Reference dll, mvc, kernel, dependency injection and so on.
  • Glass mapper version, if your are using it
  • TDS version
  • T4MVC template
  • MVC .net version
  • . Net Framework 4.5.2 to 4.7.2

Sitecore MVPs out there has done great job promoting sitecore 9 but coming to replatform whole existing site into sitecore 9 is huge task.

Then there are heaps of other minor stack of application architect that you might have to replatform or refactor.
