Magento – Data migration tool – Migrate only categorys and products

category-productsmagento-2.1.3magento2-migration-tool

i have setup a fresh Magento 2.1.3 installation and i made all the required settings in the admin panel (incl. a new store and storeview).
Now i want to transfer the categories and the product data from the old Magento 1.9 installation. Nothing else, only this data.

Is there a way to configure the data migration tool in this way?
Any help would be appreciated…

In fact, migrate data (especially the "Map Step" where categories and products are transferred) always totally messed up my M2 installation. After that always a bunch of errors occured.

Finally i managed it this way (maybe interesting for somebody else):

  • Clean installation Magento 2 + migration tool
  • DB backup
  • Migrate settings
  • Migrate data (complete; all steps)
  • Export products in CSV
  • Restore DB backup
  • Migrate settings (with -r argument)
  • Fix all errors in CSV file
  • Import products
  • Done

Now there is a proper Magento 2 base without any old filthy data and with all categories and products, voi­la...
