Definition: Move Groups (Migration)

Move Groups are logical batches or subsets of data created from the source repository during a migration project. Grouping is typically based on defined criteria such as date ranges, lines of business (LOB), document types, or other relevant business parameters.

Key Aspects in the Helix Context:

• Purpose: To break down a large, complex migration into smaller, more manageable units for processing, tracking, testing, and reconciliation.
• Management: Allows project teams and clients to monitor progress incrementally and confirm the successful migration of specific batches.
• Reconciliation: Used as the unit for comparison during the reconciliation process, ensuring all items within a specific Move Group are accounted for before proceeding or finalizing that batch.
• Testing: Facilitates end-user testing and validation on specific subsets of migrated data before the entire migration is complete.
