5.5.Migration reports

A migration report is used to keep the results of the data migration in a document of optional format. The reports can be viewed at any time in the future to verify if the migration has been completed successfully.
A report can be created to the:

a) overall migration project (e.g. project “MAM4Files to cA File” like in this use case) – this report contains the

  • status of the migration project
  • item migration details of all objects available in the migration project
  • shortcut migration details of all objects available in the migration project

This report type can be created from the dashboard using the “Generate migration report” option in the toolbar.

b) mapped object(s) – this report type contains the

  • general information about the selected migration object(s)
  • migration status of the selected migration object(s)
  • migration details of the selected migration object(s)

This report type can be created from the Mappings tab using the “Create report” option in the toolbar.

The “Advanced report options” window pops up. Here you may select the form of your report file(s).

If you want to gather all selected object mapping migrations in one report file, select the “Generate one report file” option. In this case the report file is created immediately and you can export it to any of the available file format (PDF, HTML, RTF, XLS etc.).

If you want to have a separate migration report file (in PDF format) for all of your users (object mappings) separately, select the second – Generate one file per user – option. This option requires to immediately set the target folder for the created report(s), too.

Error handling

To handle errors better and have a better overview of them, there are two buttons on the Mappings tab:

Error report
This button allows you to save the migration failures/errors of a selected mapping to a CSV file.


Reset errors
This button allows you to reset the shortcut migration errors. This is very useful in case you want to get rid of the errors in shortcuts that are no longer in the mailbox but are still figuring in the migration report.

A pop-up window will open. If you are sure you want to reset the errors, confirm the process by clicking on the Reset button.
