The pattern is that it can't be trusted to do what it's supposed to do - move Remedy code and/or data from one server to another, and move ALL of it exactly - the first time it's told - so that a subsequent difference report of what it was just told to move doesn't show any appreciable differences that can't be explained by the migration masking we configure. It's like a lazy teenager that only does things halfway and has to be watched like a hawk - except that threatening Migrator doesn't work - I've tried. :-\
