Folder mapping jobs are ideal for migrations where you wish to control the transfer at a granular level without the effort of creating individual jobs. DryvIQ will automatically create a unique job for each folder in your hierarchy, inheriting configurations from the parent job. The folder mapping job may can be controlled and manipulated just like a transfer job, but when executed, it will not transfer data. Instead, each execution creates, modifies, or deletes its child jobs, which are then responsible for the transfer of data. For example, if your source contains three sub-folders, a folder mapping job would create a child job for each of those three folders in the specified path. As new folders are created in the source, additional child jobs are created for them automatically. Data will be transferred when the child jobs are run.

Duplicate Folder Names: If there are duplicate folder names, DryvIQ will only create the child job for the first folder it encounters and skip the duplicate folder. Therefore, it is important that you verify there are no duplicate folder names before creating your folder mapping job. |
Performance Considerations
The parent for a folder mapping job has minimal impact on performance. However, the child jobs it creates follow the same performance consideration as any job type available in DryvIQ.
If DryvIQ is installed on a single instance, Parallel Writes will be a limiting factor, regardless of how many child jobs are created. In a multi-node scenario, more jobs running concurrently may be configured without impacting performance.
Adding Locations
In addition to choosing the source and destination platforms that will be used for the Folder Mapping job, you need to specify the impersonation options and paths that should be used when creating the child jobs.

The ability to impersonate users is required for connections used in convention folder mapping jobs. Impersonation allows the connection to access all folders on a site. To enable impersonation, the given connection must be configured using an administrator account. Only some supported platforms support impersonation. They include
