Simulation of the action CIFS copy to Box
When the administrator creates a copy by using a Box target set, the data user can run a Simulate Action prior to starting the copy action. From IBM® StoredIQ® Data Workbench, if you select a copy action with Box as its target data source, Simulate Action is enabled and appears under Action Details in the bottom pane.
When you click Simulate Action, it generates a report that shows what the target looks like in terms of the mapping if the migration was started. The zip file contains three CSV files: the Permission mapping CSV file, Owner mapping CSV file, and Collaborator mapping CSV file.
- Preserve Permissions CSV file
- The Preserve Permissions CSV file contains Permission mapping from source to destination for the infoset. The file has these fields: Folder Name, Owner, Co-owner, Editor, Viewer Uploader, Uploader, Viewer, and Previewer.
- Preserve Owners CSV file
- The Preserve Owner CSV file lists Owner mapping and Group mapping from source to destination for the infoset that is selected. The file contains these fields: Source Owner and Destination Owner.
- Preserve Collaborators CSV
- The Preserve Collaborators CSV file lists Collaborator mapping from source to destination for the infoset that is selected. The file contains these fields: Source User and Destination Collaborator.
If the administrator sees any issues from the report, for example, loss of access, he or she can go back to the source and fix permissions on the folder tree. When you run Simulate Action again, you can see the changes.
