Hi All,

I want to analyze the feasibility of the below mentioned functionalities while considering the upgrade of classic SharePoint team site to Modern site:

  • Provider Hosted Apps
  • Remote Event Receivers
  • Sandbox solutions
  • SSRS

I am unable to find a document or site which would help me in analyzing what would work and what should be remediated.

    Provider hosted apps and RERs can be directly used, but you should consider transitioning Provider hosted apps to SharePoint Framework. For RERs, consider transitioning those to web hooks, Power Automate, or Azure Functions, depending on use-case.

    Sandbox solutions will need to be re-written either in the older addin model, SharePoint Framework, or an external solution (Power Automate, Azure Function, etc.). This will be a case-by-case basis depending on what the sandbox solution does.

    SSRS would need to be recreated in Power BI.

    It would help to clarify what your source system is, i.e. since you mention SSRS, that must mean you're running SharePoint on-prem. Is the intention to go to 2019 or SPO for modern site support?

    If you use SharePoint online, it’s not feasible to display a ssrs report in sharepoint online. you can found more detailed information under the “sharepoint feature availability across office 365 plans” section in this article: sharepoint online service description.

    For additional information, you can refer to the documentation below:
