Migrating from Map Viewer Classic to new Map Viewer?

Question

Hi everyone,

I recently learned that Map Viewer Classic is due to retire after ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. As a system admin, I am curious about if Esri has provided us with any resouces regading migrating from Map Viewer Classic to new Map Viewer？

We have a lot of web maps authored using Map Viewer Classic, and sometimes they have glitches displaying correctly using the new Map Viewer. For example, symbology not showing as it should be as in the Map Viewer Classic app.

So is there any tools available that can fix this kind of errors in web maps? I understand there are many discrepencies betwen JS API 3.x and 4.x, and we don't have the resources to create the script in-house.

Any sugguestions other than asking users to recreate web maps using the new map viewer?

ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 is going to be the last version of ArcGIS Enterprise that contains the Map Viewer Classic. After 11.5, there will no longer be a Map Viewer Classic.

I suppose this may be a silly question, but we have several web maps/app we've created in our own web portal originating from ArcGIS Pro, and just a couple web maps/apps on ArcGIS Online.  We recognize the ESRI change from Map Viewer Classic to Map Viewer in AGO, but we're not finding anything anywhere regarding needing to make this transition with our ESRI web maps/apps we have in our own GIS portal.  Can anybody shed light on this for us?  Thanks!

Yes, I think a script should be provided to us letting us know exactly how many webmaps in the organization will be impacted after the update, this will significantly reduce the time spending on inspecting all the webmaps.
