Modernization: Client Page conversion issue

[KHaranadh]

Hi Team,

After conversion to client side page using ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage we are getting below error and we are unable edit or publish any new changes.

Observations:

• Page converted Successfully
• But unable do any modifications
• Source Page Admin and Destination Admin are different

ERROR:
REST error Error with code -2146232832, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException due to Inner-Message: The specified user i:0#.f|membership|SHAREPOINT\system could not be found.

@KHaranadh : can you please share the version of PnP PowerShell you're using and the PowerShell cmdline you're using? When running connect-pnponline add the -verbose flag to see the version being used. If it's not a recent version then please upgrade to the latest version first.

Are you transforming from on-premises to online or from online to online? Are you using account mapping?

Hi Jansebe,

we are using 3.21.2002.2 PnP version.
My requirement to connect convert onpremise SP-2013 classic Pages and Site pages to Modern Communication site pages.
Please Advice me the steps I need to follow.

Hey @KHaranadh ,

Please ensure you're running the latest version of PnP PowerShell, we just released version 3.22.2006.0

Can you show how you are using the ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage cmdlet? I want to see if you are using account mapping or not

Hi Jansenbe,

Installed latest PnP version.

Please find the below cmdlet....
ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage -Identity tester.aspx -Library Pages -PublishingPage -Overwrite -TargetWebUrl https://xxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/global

Can you try with user mapping (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/transform/modernize-userinterface-site-pages-usermapping):

• create a usermapping.csv file with below contents (adjust the SPO account):

sharepoint\system,[email protected]

• Use this mapping file during transformation by specifying it using the -UserMappingFile parameter of the ConvertTo-PnPClientSidePage cmdlet and let me know if that resolves the issue.

Sure Jansenbe, I will try this.. Thanks for the update

[KHaranadh]

Thanks for the solution Jansenbe, -UserMappingFile option working
