Is it still the case that there's no way to migrate from the local gateway to something else? I found a post from last year that said this just wasn't something that is supported and I wanted to make sure before I started re-indexing my data set. ## Thank you Miles ---

No, there isn't a way to migrate from local gateway (though there is a way to do the other way). Local gateway is recommended, why do you need to migrate from it?
