DiscoveryJob -

Discover what files are in a given FileShare or SharePoint Document Library and create a representation of the contents in the DiscoveryJob folder.
Each file is an empty file pointer to or representation for the real file. we call it a FileProxy. It has has the Content-Type FileProxy. Each folder is likewise a pointer to the real folder, we call it a FolderProxy. It has has the Content-Type FolderProxy.

The job runs incrementally and each source file is only created once in the Model document library by the DiscoveryJob. So if the same FileProxy exists in a different folder, for example in a MigrationJob the the file is skipped.

SharePoint source

SharePoint source
File proxies are created WITHOUT the source file version history. When the file i migrated you can choose to include the version history.
Metadata is mapped from the the source library into the model library using the column `[ModelMetadataMapping]` AutoMapAllColumns (the default) automatically maps source library columns to the MigratonModel columns based on the column display name. You can override or extend by adding AutoMapAllColumns with column assignments like: `[Content Type]=Invoice [MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol] [MyTargetCol]=xyz` You can force individual columns NOT to be assigned by using this syntax: `[MyTargetCol]=Skip!` You can specify a default value to handle empty source columns using this syntax: `[MyTargetCol]=[MySourceCol];#MyDefaultValue` ManagedMetadata, Lookup and ContentType is resolved by label. Each assignment must be on a separate line.

Duplicates detection only on FileShare source. Notice it will take some time to calculate the checksum.
