In the steps above we disabled the modules that are not compiling so step one is to enable the module you wish to migrate, by removing it from the exclusions from the profile. When enabled a lot of compiler errors will start to reveal themselves, the second step is to resolve all compile issues until the module compiles (more information & small tutorials are available below). Once everything compiles you can startup the application & begin testing. For non JSPUI modules you should be able to use the XMLUI module to create communities, collections, items, ... if you have started from a fresh database.

Things to out for when porting
