# Run the Data Processing Engine Definitions

Run the Data Processing Engine definitions sequentially to migrate your data. After each run, confirm the accuracy of the migrated data before you proceed to run the next definition.

To start migrating your data, run the Data Processing Engine definition EDA\_to\_EdCloud\_IntOrg\_CoreObjects\_UserRole\_Domain00\_DPE01. If the run is successful, validate the data, and then proceed to run the next definition.

We recommend that you use the guided flow to run the Data Processing Engine definitions in the correct sequence. If you run the definitions in the wrong order, you might encounter errors or failed runs.

Note

- Running a definition again overwrites the migrated data.
- Some definitions require a Var\_User field to run. Enter the User ID of the default owner of the records.
- Ensure that the writeback user in the writeback node of the Data Processing Engine is the administrator. Alternatively, you can leave this field empty.

Use Monitor Workflows Services during each Data Processing Engine definition run to check the run status.
