this section shows the steps to take when migrating data in different scenarios and when disabling the ivanti service manager development project and using simple mode and advanced mode it skips the conceptual information and only shows the procedure steps see appendix b migrating data from one tenant instance to another using simple mode or advanced mode docid\ stq b6ebnoc64jdl9kbiz for
