 Due to the nature of how Cloud.gov operates, the getgov directory is dynamically generated whenever the app is built under the tmp/ folder.

From here, we can move those uploaded files into the getgov directory using the `cat` command.

+
+### STEP 4: Test the results
+### Run the migration analyzer
+
+This script's main function is to scan the transition domain and domain tables for any anomalies.  It produces a simple report of missing or duplicate data.  NOTE: some missing data might be expected depending on the nature of our migrations so use best judgement when evaluating the results.
