Step order

Last updated: 2026-11-03

In the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool, the order in which multiple Migration Steps execute within a job is based on a predefined priority. This priority reflects logical dependencies between operations. For example, spaces must be created before applications can be imported into those spaces, meaning Create Spaces will execute before Import Applications.

This sequencing ensures consistent execution across jobs, regardless of the order in which steps are selected.
