There are various reasons why items are flagged during a migration, and there are steps you can take to ensure minimal flagged items throughout the various migration stages. This page provides DryvIQ’s best practices for remediating flagged items throughout the simulation and migration stages. Following these best practices is key to a successful migration.

Below is a list of the common messages that accompany flagged items. For each message, DryvIQ provides actions you can take in each migration stage when you experience this error. The suggestions are divided into four categories:

Proactive Solution: These are steps you should take before running a simulation job to reduce flagged items due to the corresponding message.
Post Simulation Action: These are steps you can take after running a simulation job to fix flagged items before converting the job to a transfer job.
Post Migration Action: These are steps you need to take to transfer the flagged items to the destination.
Job Failure Action: If the flagged item message causes job failure (the job fails to run), these are the steps you need to take to correct the issue so the job can run.
