Overview
The DryvIQ analyzer is a powerful and incredibly fast content discovery, analysis and prediction engine that eliminates the guessworkSimulation mode allows you to create a job with all desired configuration options set and execute it as a dry-run. In this mode, no data will actually transfer, no permissions will be set, no changes will be made to either the source or the destination. This can be useful in answering several questions about your content prior to actually running any jobs against your content. You will gain granular insight into your entire content landscape, including its structure, the use of your files, how old and it is, what type they areof files it contains, what the metadata it contains, and more , no matter where the files are located—whether in located (local storage, remote offices or on , user desktops, etc.). DryvIQ gathers a wide array of file statistics and visualizes the data into easy-to-read , configurable dashboards. Sort and analyze content by physical location, type, age, by last modified date, by permissions, by most shared, by external sharing metrics, and much more. Any configured report can be displayed with All configured reports display as graphs and charts , and can be exported as a .CSV file, or utilized to initiate DryvIQ file transfers.Simulation mode allows you to create a job with all desired configuration options set and execute it as a dry-run.

Even though simulation mode doesn’t move data, platforms will identify activity on accounts during simulation mode. Therefore, your administrator should turn off security notifications on the source platform for copy jobs and both platforms for sync jobs before running simulation mode to prevent users from getting security notifications about activity on their accounts. |

Are my user mappings configured correctly?
Does the scope of the job capture everything that I expected it to capture?
Do I have files that are too large for the destination platform?
Do I have permissions that are incompatible with the destination platform (i.e. ACL vs waterfall)?
Do I have files or folders that are too long or contain invalid characters that the destination platform will not accept?

Create a Simulation Job
During the job creation workflow, the last stage before creating the job there will be an option to enable simulation mode. When a job is in simulation mode, it can be run and scheduled like any other job, but no data will be transferred.

Transition a Simulation Job to Transfer Content
After review, a simulation job can be transitioned to a live job that will begin to transfer your content to the destination platform. In the simulation job, click More options and click Disable simulation mode.
