Job filter exclusions take precedence over Link Detection. Therefore, if a job filter exclusion is set to ignore DOCX, PPTX, or XLSX files, Link Detection will also ignore these files. |
Link Detection Impact on Job Performance
Simulation Jobs: When link detection is enabled on Simulation jobs, the simulation job execution will be longer because the document must be downloaded into memory to detect links. (Files are not normally loaded into memory during a simulation job because they are not actually being migrated.)
Transfer Jobs: As noted above, DryvIQ scans for links while the document is in memory while migrating the file. Therefore, the impact on job time is minimal. The document's size has a negligible impact on link detection times unless the file size is very large (GBs in size). Link detection will cause a nominal amount of CPU utilization to detect links. Memory is not affected.
Viewing Link Information
When enabled, link detection will identify the links in files and make the information available for review on the individual Job reports and the roll-up reports. Information is available on the Content Insights, Items, and Log pages.

If you select a single job that does not have link detection enabled, the Execute link remediation option will not be displayed in the More options menu. If you select multiple jobs and one does not have link detection enabled, the Execute link remediation option will be disabled in the menu. |
Link Remediation Impact
Link remediation does not affect the transfer times or speed of migration jobs because it is a separate process executed after migration when link detection is completed. It does, however, entail making additional calls to the destination and source platform, so platforms with caps or overage charges may be impacted. Link remediation does add time to the overall migration project because it adds a separate process that requires execution. The link remediation process is roughly equivalent to the extra time it would take to do another delta run on a document count basis. For example, remediating links in 1000 files in a job takes about as much time as running a delta run with modifications to a 1000 files. This should be factored in when planning your project if you plan on using link detection and remediation.
