# Migration source connectors

Migration source connectors are DLL libraries that enable Epona.Migrate to import documents from external systems. Each connector implements source-specific logic for authentication, document retrieval, metadata extraction, and transfer to SharePoint.

# What is a migration connector

A migration connector is a .NET library that:

  1. Connects to a specific document source system (e.g., Box, iManage)
  2. Authenticates using provided credentials
  3. Enumerates documents and folders
  4. Extracts metadata (date, owner, custom fields)
  5. Streams document content to SharePoint
  6. Logs progress and errors

Connectors are auto-discovered by the migration engine when placed in the same directory as Epona.Migrate.exe.

# Deployment

  1. Ensure Epona.Migrate.exe is deployed in the provisioning service bin directory
  2. Copy the connector DLL for your source system to the same directory
  3. Provide source system credentials and connection details in Epona.Migrate configuration
  4. The migration engine auto-discovers and loads the connector

# Configuration pattern

All migration connectors require:

  • Connection settings — API credentials, endpoints, authentication method
  • Source location — starting folder, workspace, or container to scan
  • Metadata mapping — source fields → SharePoint columns
  • Matter/client matching — how to map source documents to SharePoint structure
  • Filtering — optional rules to exclude certain documents or folders
