CQL search after a migration

Cloud Migrations

Hi, as part of our app’s migration process, we need to process pages migrated by the client to transform server macros to a format that is recognized by the cloud counterpart.

To do that, we run a cql search on pages in the instance when we receive a migration event.
BUT, it seems like the cql search is not reliable. For instance, running a CQL search (/rest/api/search?cql=type%3Dpage+AND+macro%3D%22requirement%22&limit=20) doesn’t return any result before a page is manually created (Not containing the requirement macro), after which, the search finally responds with the pages migrated containing the requirement macro.

My question is: did I find a bug? Or how long should we wait after a migration to make sure that Atlassian has finished processing pages in the backend before running the search?

Thanks, and best regards, Corentin.

Hi @Corentin,

There’s no defined time to wait, but you will need to wait a while before the site is fully indexed. You have a few options, one is to just set a defined delay, or run the process to updates pages several time as pages are indexed. You could also provide a manual button for customers to re-trigger the conversion as well post-migration.

You also have access to the list of pages or spaces that were migrated so you can narrow your cql down though these API calls

Hope this helps.
