Migrate filters of Particular Users from Server to Cloud
Summary
The following article provides details on how to migrate filters of specific users from server to Cloud.
Overview
Starting from JCMA 1.10.0, our developers have introduced a feature that allows for the migration of boards and filters using JCMA itself. However, if a customer wishes to migrate filters for a specific user, there is currently no direct method to do so from server to cloud.
The following steps will aid in migrating the filter of a particular user from server to cloud:

Identify all filters not owned by the specified user.
select * from searchrequest where author not in ('specify_your_user')Remove filters that are not owned by the specified user.
