Issues The successful migration of List Consolidator depends on the original configuration of the lists included in the aggregated views:

  1. If the included lists were configured using a relative path, then then migration will be successful without requiring additional steps.
  2. If the included lists were using an absolute path, the Web Part will not display any data because the defined lists do not exist.
Resolution To resolve the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Log in as a Site Collection Administrator and go to the site where the List Consolidator Web Part resides and click View All Site Content.
  2. Locate and open the list called Bamboo List Consolidator Configuration.
  3. Modify the value in the QueryXML column for all entries in the list to switch from the absolute URL to a relative URL.
