PAM Migration: Define the Snapshot and Delta Boundary
A player-account snapshot can be internally consistent and still be too old for cutover. Record what happened after the snapshot and how the receiving system will account for it.

- A blank, editable record with evidence fields and ownership.
- Tool behavior
- The CSV is a static download. No project details are requested or submitted.
Set the boundary before comparing
Inventory account states, balances, unsettled operations and the controls attached to the account. Assign a source system and an owner to each field. Record the snapshot cutoff and the rule for changes arriving later. "Copied" and "reconciled" need separate evidence.
A final sync should have a defined scope and a receiving decision. Identify who can stop cutover when records do not reconcile and which system remains authoritative. A rollback plan must address writes made after the new system starts receiving activity.
The evidence record
Use one row per review area. The role is a starting point; assign a named owner in your project. Attach a sanitized reference and retain unresolved questions until a reviewer has a supported answer.
| Review area | Evidence to attach | Suggested role |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot | Source, cutoff, extraction identity and field mapping | Source owner |
| Late changes | Delta window, ordering and duplicate handling | Migration owner |
| Account controls | State mapping and review of excluded fields | Account owner |
| Reconciliation | Comparison keys, discrepancies and explanations | Reviewer |
| Cutover | Receiving decision, unresolved items and stop condition | Cutover owner |
| Rollback | Post-cutover writes and authoritative recovery source | Incident owner |
The CSV adds assigned owner, evidence reference, status, unresolved question and review date columns. Every row starts as draft.
A fictional example
A fictional snapshot ends at 10:00. An operation posted at 10:03 belongs in the defined delta process. If its treatment is unknown, record an unresolved item and its owner. Moving the cutoff label does not resolve the missing operation.
Use the record in a review
- Agree the snapshot and delta boundaries before extracting data.
- Compare records using stable identifiers and the same state definitions.
- Assign every discrepancy to an owner with a documented disposition.
- Have the receiving team accept the evidence before transferring responsibility.

Source and limits
No account migration or reconciliation runs in this page. The CSV is a blank engineering record. Do not enter player identities, private balances, credentials or production extracts.
