Repositories and Users in Nexus Repository Manager and Artifactory
Verify unique repository names in Artifactory before migration. Migrator renames non-alphabetic-prefixed repos as "m-".
Repository Name Conflicts
If a repository with the same name already exists in JFrog Artifactory, artifact migration fails when that repository is a different type than the Nexus repository. If artifacts with the same name exist in a same-named repository, the artifact from Nexus overwrites the existing artifact. To avoid these issues, verify that repository names are unique and that no artifacts with the same name exist in Artifactory before migrating.
User Name Conflicts
Also verify that no existing users in Artifactory share names with users in Nexus Repository Manager before beginning migration. The migration script overwrites existing Artifactory users with users from Nexus.
Non-Alphabetic Repository Names
JFrog Artifactory does not support repository names that start with a non-alphabetic character. The migrator tool renames such repositories as m-<repository name in Nexus>. For example, a repository named 101-Maven in Nexus Repository Manager becomes m-101-Maven in Artifactory. To customize this name, run the migrator tool in multiple stages and edit the migration configuration.
