What is a Migration Batch?
Migration batches are utilized to consolidate users and other items that are intended to be migrated. Batches can be comprised of specific item types exclusively or they can encompass all item types.
If a batch is created for a certain item type, it is not possible to include a different item type in that particular batch. For instance, if a user batch is created, it is not possible to include a group in it.
Migration batches are organized within projects. Each project can accommodate multiple batches.
The migration batches are categorized based on the source connection for which they were created.
