Validation Reports

Migration App enables users to generate validation reports that compare source and destination data, helping to identify discrepancies. This report provides a list of mismatched and missing files for a migration job, along with remarks for each discrepant file, making it easier to understand necessary actions.

Key Benefits:

• Helps users identify discrepancies between source and destination.
• Provides clear guidance on required corrective actions.

The validation report includes:

• Files present in the source but missing from the destination
• Files with different checksum or hash values between source and destination
• Files with size differences between source and destination

The report can only be generated after data has been migrated to the destination (Egnyte).
