Dry Run - Dry Run migration is only available for non-production environments and must be set up in Architect in advance of the Dry Run migration. Dry Run migration is recommended to test a migration plan. Dry Run copies selected subjects and associated study-sites and runs the migration job in the Dry Run environments. The system runs through CRF changes, highlights issues and results of the migration, and reports on any errors.
Migration - This performs the actual migration of selected subjects and performs a live migration in the production environment.
(Optional) If you select Dry Run, you must also select a target environment from the select a target environment drop down list. This option is not available for a migration in a live environment.
(Required) In the Selected Subjects section of the page, select the following from the drop down options:
Environment - Default is "Prod".
Site Group - Select a Site Group from the list of available Site Groups. Default is "World".
Site - Select a Site from the list that is filtered on the Site Group you selected. Default is "...".

The Subject selection box shows a count of active subjects and a number of available subjects in the selected site. For example, 1 of 2 subjects.
Select a subject and click Add Subject to add to the list of subjects to add to the migration plan. Or use the keyboard Control + click to select multiple subjects in the Subject selection box. As subjects are added, they are removed from the Subject selection box and added to a subject grid.

The system processes a migration taking three subjects at a time. It takes subject data from the original CRF version and migrates its data to the new Target version. All data points for the selected subjects are updated as per mapping rules saved against the migration plan. The system logs all errors in the database. See Mapping Objects for information on how the system updates the data points as per mapping rules saved in the plan.
Note: When a subject is being migrated, the subject will not be available to the EDC user. Likewise, the subject will not be available in Reports when they are being migrated.
