Failed migration will break URL

When starting a migration for the first time I had a fail, an error with some database. Maybe it wasn't that but one migration didn't get fully complete so I had to restart.
The problem was that now my connection information seemed OK but when starting the migration the Replace showed an old domain from my source site. I notice this and tried to fix it on the custom migration options but the migration always ended up with the old URL.
I had to restore the original clear backup on WPengine to be able to get 'connection information' that did not generate me this problem. That seems to be the solution.
I hope that this can help you, thanks.

Hi Daniel Paz. I'm the product manager of the WP Engine Site Migration plugin. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.
If a migration fails, then the temporary tables (prefixed with
_mig_
) are deleted, so this should not have any impact on the source site. The values that you see in the Find and Replace panel are populated from the home
option in the wp_options
table.If this happens again, can you please screenshot the values that you see when customizing the migration in the UI and compare it to the
home
option in the database? Thank you.
