Migration Execution

Refer to the following sections to execute the migration.

1. Configure projects and mappings in Fly

To configure projects and mappings, refer to the Create a Project and Create Migration Mappings for details. Use the mapping file of data to be migrated to configure the migration project.

2. Perform regular full migrations

Before running the job, we recommend you verify the mappings to ensure that the mappings are available for migration. Refer to Pre-analyze Mappings for details.

Then you can run a full migration job to migrate the objects based on your configured migration policy. Refer to Run Migrations to Migrate Objects for details.

3. Perform regular incremental migrations

Some issues may occur during a full migration job. Run an incremental job to handle new, updated, and failed data. Refer to Run Migrations to Migrate Objects about how to perform regular incremental migrations.

4. Communicate with end users (optional)

Notify end users of the migration schedule. Publish a message in each source Group to inform end users that they can run incremental jobs before final validation.

5. Perform the final incremental migration

Notify all users and make sure the source Groups do not have any new/modified objects. Then perform the final incremental migration job.

6. Validate migration results

Note the following items during the validation period:

  • Number of files

  • Number of mails in Group mailbox

  • No failed data in job report

7. Perform migrations for all other waves (optional)

This step is needed only if you have separated the mappings into multiple waves.

8. Perform the final incremental migration for other waves (optional)

You can perform the final incremental migration to make sure all source data are migrated to the destination if needed.

9. Perform the final validation

During the final validation, you should validate members of the destination Google Groups.
