Completely lacking delta migration of products & categories

[peterjaap]

This is a huge problem for us. Development of an M2 shop takes months and we can't ask the client to not update their product catalog in the meantime. We need a delta migration for products & categories, otherwise this whole tool is useless.

@peterjaap we have delta migration http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/migration/migration-migrate-delta.html - did you try it and it did not work for you? cc @victor-v-rad

New products are added, yes. But changes to existing products and attributes are not.

[peterjaap]

Actually, new products aren't added either. These are the m2_cl_ tables that are created in M1, no catalog_product_ tables in here;

m2_cl_catalog_compare_item
m2_cl_cataloginventory_stock_item
m2_cl_customer_address_entity
m2_cl_customer_address_entity_datetime
m2_cl_customer_address_entity_decimal
m2_cl_customer_address_entity_int
m2_cl_customer_address_entity_text
m2_cl_customer_address_entity_varchar
m2_cl_customer_entity
m2_cl_customer_entity_datetime
m2_cl_customer_entity_decimal
m2_cl_customer_entity_int
m2_cl_customer_entity_text

Hi @peterjaap @piotrekkaminski

Partially it is possible for the tool to track tables of products & categories if you add these tables into deltalog.xml.dist file before starting migration. For example tables of products

       'catalog_product_entity',
        'catalog_product_entity_datetime',
        'catalog_product_entity_decimal',
        'catalog_product_entity_gallery',
        'catalog_product_entity_group_price',
        'catalog_product_entity_int',
        ... and so on

are part of Map step and because it has support of delta mode (src/Migration/Step/Map/Delta.php) these tables will be tracked. But ConfigurablePrices step, for example, does not support delta mode and table catalog_product_super_attribute_pricing cannot be added to deltalog.xml.dist. If a store does not use configurable products then it is not a problem.

@peterjaap is it possible to develop M2 store before starting migration? Or store data from M1 is required for developing M2 store?

[frilogg]

I have the same problem, not possible to have a good development of M2 Store when there is lack of migration of products & categories

[victor-v-rad]

The feature will be implemented in MAGETWO-88440 story

[peterjaap]

@victor-v-rad where can we track progress on that story?

[victor-v-rad]

2..3-develop branch

[victor-v-rad]

The story was implemented and released with 2.3.3 version

[PascalBrouwers]

That commit 9bcdcd2 only does the Url Rewrite Step

I see the tables where added to deltalog.xml.dst here: 79a8bf8
