Copy the executable file to any machine that can access both your Hipchat server and your Mattermost server. The directory on which the executable is saved and run is referred to as WORKING_DIRECTORY.

Hipchat environment:

         Folder hipchat_export/ → contains flat files that will be deleted after the migration process has completed

HC2MM Application server

         Folder hipchat_export/ → contains flat files that will be deleted after the migration process has completed

         working_directory/app.properties

         working_directory/migration.log*

         working_directory/mattermost.jsonl

Mattermost server:

        mattermost.jsonl→ will be deleted after the migration process has completed
