2. Migration process might take some time. Depending on the number of shares and the amount of data being transfer from the old Indexer to the new Indexer, migration process time may vary.
3. When files are being transferred from the Source Indexer to the Destination Indexer, the process might be considerably slower than expected. This is due to a pause schedule of MsuMigrationJob, which is set at 07:00 by default. If you want to expedite the process, edit the default schedule for the MsuMigrationJob from Daily at 07:00 to run every hour on the Source Indexer. To do that,

   • In the Data Insight Console, navigate to Settings > Data Insight Servers (source indexer) > Advanced Settings > Set Custom Properties

   • Add the following values in the given fields:

     Property Name =	job.MsuMigrationJob.cron
