Questions we get asked

01

Which IFS versions does it connect to?

Anything that exposes IFS OData. You point the workspace at your OData endpoint and pick the entities you need. Source and destination are set up separately, so you can move data between two IFS environments as well as into PostgreSQL.

02

Where does my data actually live?

In its own PostgreSQL schema inside the platform database. Nothing is shared with another workspace, and the migrated data stays queryable through virtual tables and custom views.

03

What happens when a migration fails halfway?

Runs happen on a worker queue, so closing the browser does not stop them. Failed jobs retry automatically, then move to a dead-letter list you can inspect and requeue. The activity log keeps a record of everything touched before the failure.

04

Can I see what a migration will do before running it?

Yes. Middleware nodes can be previewed against your real data, so you see the output rows before anything is written to the destination.

05

Do I need a card to start?

No. The Free plan is self-serve with seat and usage limits, and there is no payment step. When you outgrow it, talk to us about Enterprise.

06

What if I need a workspace for more than one company?

Create one per company. Each gets its own schema and prebuilt flows, and the same email address can hold a seat in more than one.
