# Migrate from SharePoint Remote Connector

You can migrate to SharePoint OData Connector from SharePoint Remote Connector, without having to perform a full synchronize and without having to re-index any documents.

TIP: Before migrating, Micro Focus recommends that you create a backup of your connector installation.

To migrate to SharePoint OData Connector, copy the configuration file and task datastores from your SharePoint Remote Connector installation into a new SharePoint OData Connector installation. You might need to make minor changes to the configuration, where there are differences between the connectors. The new configuration must use the same task names that were used in your SharePoint Remote connector configuration. The task datastores are migrated automatically the first time the SharePoint OData Connector runs a synchronize task.

To check that a task datastore was migrated successfully, look in the synchronize log for the message "Datastore successfully migrated from SharePoint Remote".
