Hi Team,
We want to migrate data between two cosmos DB NOSQL accounts which are located in two different tenants. One cosmos DB is in "CORP Tenant"(microsoft.com) and another cosmos DB is in PME tenant. Please provide me some guidance on how to proceed and how many approaches we have for this?1. What is the best method/tool to migrate the data between cross tenants for Azure cosmos db NOSQL accounts?
Thank you for your support in advance.
Hi ShaktiSingh-MSFT,
I have tried above tool and now I can be able to migrate data from Microsoft tenant cosmos dB to PME tenant cosmos dB, I have used connection string, I am yet to try with Managed identity. Could you please suggest what are the roles I need to assign to use RBAC.
I have given "IncludeMetadataFields" property to "true" in migrationsettings.json source section. But still, I can see different values for metadata fields (_ts, _rid etc) in destination cosmos container. How can I migrate metadata with same values from source to destination.
It is taking round 24 mins to migrate 200000 records. Is there any way to increase the copy activity speed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Thakkelapalli Swapna (INFOSYS LIMITED) •,
Could you please confirm if you are using Azure Data Factory copy activity?
Hi,
I have used the tool you have mentioned in previous post. By using that tool I can be able to migrate 200000 records in 24 mins approximately, I just want to know, can we decrease time here, and if I make "IncludeMetadataFields" property to "true" in migrationsettings.json file, still metadata values are not copied from source to destination.
@Thakkelapalli Swapna (INFOSYS LIMITED)
Kindly try to optimize by expected settings and share full details of your steps taken, result and if you face issue, please raise the same in GitHub page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Hi ShaktiSingh-MSFT,We are migrating cosmos db data between Microsoft and PME tenants. If we want to use RBAC (Role Based Access Control), what is the process, as I can not assign roles to Microsoft tenant principleId in PME tenant cosmos db. I am getting below error while assigning role.
The provided principal ID [xxxxxxx] was not found in the AAD tenant(s) [xxxxxxxxx] which are associated with the customer's subscription.
Do we have any property to specify principleId in migrationsettings.json file so that I could try multi tenant pricipleId approach, I have gone through the readme file in git repo, but I did not find any property related to principleId.
Hi ShaktiSingh-MSFT,
Any update on this?
Hi Thakkelapalli Swapna (INFOSYS LIMITED) •,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
As I understand, you want to migrate Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL API account to another account.
Please refer to https://github.com/AzureCosmosDB/data-migration-desktop-tool Azure Cosmos DB Desktop Migration tool and try and let us know if you are facing any issue.
Thanks.
Hi @Thakkelapalli Swapna (INFOSYS LIMITED) ,
We have got below reply from the internal team:
Since you are using OSS tool to do the migration, https://github.com/azurecosmosdb/data-migration-desktop-toolThis tool is community supported.

You can also explore Container copy tool if offline migration can be undertaken. This tool migrates the data one container at a time, however since this is a native tool, it works out of the box for copying data. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/container-copy.
If you want to explore online copy as well, please register for preview of "Online Container copy" feature in the preview features tab of your subscription page.
