    Verify the data was moved successfully

    In the Noah ES Data Migrator you can see when the migration is complete under Status and under Files.

    The number of files uploaded and number of patient records migrated is displayed.

    Review the Status to verify no files were Skipped or Failed.

    If any records failed or files were skipped they have not successfully moved to Noah ES. Please review the Error Report for details.

    First step to resolve this would be to re-migrate the database with the goal of 0 records Skipped, 0 records Failed.
