Viewing migration results


Migration Result reports provide details about how a migration was performed: the start and end times, the source and destination points, what was migrated, the options that were in place at the time of the migration, and so on.

The Results report includes these categories:

  • Overall migration statistics—Data that pertains to the entire migration, including name of the report, the date and time at which it was generated, the version of AR System used, the status of the migration (whether it was completed or interrupted), and the number of objects of each type that were migrated and (if any) failed to migrate.
  • The settings selected for the migration, including the server used for the migration, change history settings, and any prefixes that were selected to be ignored for the migration.
  • Statistics for each type of object included in the migration, including migration results and workflow changes, if any.

Information from the source is listed on the left side of the report; information for the destination is listed on the right side.

Icons in the first column indicate whether or not the migration was successful.

  • A green check mark indicates that the object was migrated successfully.
  • A red X indicates that errors occurred during the migration.
  • A yellow Yield sign indicates a warning.
  • A green arrow pointing to the right indicates that the object is still in the queue to be migrated.

Working with Migration Result reports

A Migration Result report shows statistical information about a completed migration. AR System saves the report automatically. After AR System performs a migration, the saved Migration Result report appears by name in the Migration status pane under the Completed tab until you remove it. If the Directories option is set to the default for migration results, AR System also saves the Migration Result report in the Result Files folder, located in the left pane of the server or file window.

The following table outlines some options available when working with Migration Result reports.

    AR System generates and displays the Migration Result report. AR System stores migration result reports in a Results File directory, which you can access from the left pane of the window.

To export a Migration Result report to HTML

  2. Select a directory path, type a file name, and click Save.
  3. Open the saved HTML file in any HTML editor to print, edit, or reformat the report.

Resolving reported failures

If you see a failure reported after your migration, some might not have migrated properly. You can restore the changed objects on a destination server by opening the appropriate AR System backup file (see Enabling-backup-to-a-destination-server-before-migrations) and migrating it to the destination server.
