Supported Migration Modes

New Subscription Mode

Preconditions

On the CloudBlue Connect side:

  • Tier configuration is completed for all resellers participating in the migration.

On the CloudBlue Commerce side:

  • For every Microsoft 365 CSP subscription, there must be one or more Microsoft 365 NCE service plans created through PLM, depending on the Microsoft 365 CSP licenses included in that subscription:

    • For each Microsoft 365 CSP license of that subscription, there must be a separate Microsoft 365 NCE service plan with the appropriate Microsoft 365 NCE license.

    • The Microsoft 365 NCE service plan or plans must have the same billing period as in that subscription.

    • One of the subscription periods of the Microsoft 365 NCE service plan or plans must be the same as the subscription period of that subscription.

  • All necessary Microsoft 365 NCE service plans are delegated to the resellers participating in the migration.

Migration Flow

Every source subscription is processed as follows:

  1. For each Microsoft 365 CSP license resource of that source subscription, the script finds the service plan that contains the corresponding Microsoft 365 NCE license resource.

  2. For each Microsoft 365 CSP license resource of that source subscription, the script creates a sales order and a subscription based on the found service plan, which includes the corresponding Microsoft 365 NCE license resource.

  3. After creating sales orders and subscriptions for all Microsoft 365 CSP license resources of that source subscription, the script creates a cancellation order for that source subscription.

Note: If no sales orders are created for a source subscription due to any issues, no cancellation order is created for that source subscription. You must investigate and fix those issues, then run the script again for that source subscription.

Important: If sales orders are partially created for a source subscription, or all necessary sales order are created but some of them fail due to issues, no cancellation order is created for that source subscription. Such a source subscription is considered as migrated by the script, and you must manually complete the migration of that source subscription.

Preconditions

On the CloudBlue Connect side:

  • Tier configuration is completed for all resellers participating in the migration.

On the CloudBlue Commerce side:

  • For every source Microsoft 365 CSP service plan, there must be a target Microsoft 365 NCE service plan created through PLM:

    • That target Microsoft 365 NCE service plan must include the appropriate Microsoft 365 NCE license.

    • That target Microsoft 365 NCE service plan must have the same billing period as the source Microsoft 365 CSP service plan.

    • That target Microsoft 365 NCE service plan must have the same subscription periods as the source Microsoft 365 NCE service plan.

  • All necessary Microsoft 365 NCE service plans are delegated to the resellers participating in the migration.

  • Under every reseller participating in the migration, the respective target Microsoft 365 NCE service plan is specified in the upgrade paths of every source Microsoft 365 CSP service plan.

Migration Flow

The script creates a change order for every source subscription so that it is switched to the target Microsoft 365 NCE service plan specified in the upgrade paths of the source Microsoft 365 CSP service plan.
