Appendix 4. IIS 5.0 or 6.0 Data Mapping Reference

This chapter describes the way of migrating hosting data from server running IIS 5.0 or 6.0 to Plesk server. It answers the following questions:

1. What results the migration? What data presents in Plesk after the migration completion? Where do I find it in Plesk?
2. What is the origin of the data: were the parameters values set by default or were they taken from IIS?
3. What is the exact IIS source for a Plesk parameter, and what is the principle of its mapping?

The information in this chapter is grouped in sections in a way that you can see it in Plesk user's interface. Each section begins from the instruction on how to find the data in the control panel interface.

Note: We recommend that you first familiarize yourself with Plesk interface principles stated in the Introduction to Plesk Interface section of Getting Started With Plesk Administration administrator's guide. For information on meaning of Plesk parameters and objects refer to Plesk 7.5 for Windows Administrator's Manual.

For convenience, the information in sections is presented in the form of tables like the one below:

Permissions section

• Each table corresponds to a certain Plesk page or to a section of options on a page, which name precedes the table (e.g. "Permissions section").
• The Plesk parameter and the Value/Conditions columns represent the Plesk data as it is after the migration (in the form it is displayed in Plesk user interface): In the Plesk parameter column, parameter names are specified, while the Value column presents exact values of this parameters. In the Value column you find the following parameter values:
  • Selected - checkbox corresponding to the parameter is selected
  • Selected if - checkbox corresponding to the parameter is selected on the conditions defined in the third column
  • Cleared - checkbox corresponding to the parameter is not selected
  • Enabled - feature is enabled (in a way differing from selected checkbox)
  • Enabled if - feature is enabled on the conditions defined in the third column
  • Disabled - feature is disabled (in a way differing from cleared checkbox)
  • Equal to - content or value for a parameter is equal to the content or value of IIS notion(s) defined in the third column
  • none - if a corresponding parameter is not migrated to Plesk or is not present on the legacy platform. The parameter in Plesk is left empty by default.
  • other values specific for Plesk parameters
• The Origin/Conditions column provides the information clearing up the contents of the first two columns: either an exact source of a Plesk parameter value, or a condition under which a parameter possesses the value. You can see there the following:
  • name of an exact IIS object or parameter (in terms of IIS)
  • default - parameter value is not migrated from IIS, but defaults to what is set by Migration Manager.

Note: Many parameters in IIS change upon migration to Plesk. To find out what were the IIS parameter values, see the migration log file AdminMigration.log located in <Plesk Application Folder path>\PMM\logs\ folder. for example c:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\PMM\logs\AdminMigration.log (for detailed information refer to the Viewing Migration Log section).
