Core Concepts

MyGreat uses a small set of concepts consistently across the User Interface.

Tenant

A tenant is the top-level workspace boundary. Membership and access are scoped to the tenant.

Workspace

A workspace groups related jobs and their run history. Workspaces help you organize work by migration, customer, department, or destination.

Storage Repository

A Storage Repository is a connected storage endpoint. A job selects which existing Storage Repositories it uses as its source and target.

Runner pool and runner

A runner pool is the execution group a job can target. A runner is the runtime that actually performs the work. Shared pools are used by multiple jobs. Dedicated runners can be assigned when one job needs tighter control.

Job

A job defines what data moves, from where, to where, and under which execution settings.

Run modes

  • Run performs the live transfer or synchronization work.
  • Dry Run checks what would happen without performing the live transfer.
  • Scan builds an inventory and analysis view without becoming a live transfer.

Run

A run is one execution of a job. Run detail pages show status, progress, logs, files, and action results.
