SCCM Migration - missing objects

Hi,

I just started a new job. Now I have an outdated SCCM 2303 environment with a single primary site server on Server 2012R2 and SQL 2012 I have to deal with. Management wants me to create a new site with a remote SQL server. Updating the old systems is not allowed. Don't ask.

The plan is to use site-by-site migration to get apps, TSs, collections... to the new site and updating it to 2409 later. I did set up a test environment for that: a source site SCCM 2303 on 2012 and a target site 2303 on 2019 (2022 is not allowed) and a remote SQL server 2019. All works fine.

But starting the migration caused some trouble. The gathering works. But when I create a migration job, I only see collections, boundaries and boundary groups. No apps, or anything else. The migmctrl.log (attached) shows e.g.:

Start syncing #MIG_Entity. Query against Legacy Site...

migmctrl.logQuery completed, 5 record(s) merged to target table...

Query completed, 0 record(s) merged to target table...

Query completed, 5 record(s) merged to target table...

5/5 records copied for #MIG_Entity

Synced one batch. 5 records in #MIG_Entity Synced.

The target site's DB table "MIG_Entity" contains all objects from the source site. All objects that are NOT available in the migration job have a 1 in the column "IsDeleted". So, something makes the decision which data is relevant and which isn't.

The view "v_MIG_Entities" only contains data that was NOT marked as "IsDeleted".

Does anyone have an idea what's happening here?

Thanks, Alex
