5.5.Migration report and error handling
A migration report is used to document the results of a data migration in a chosen format. Reports can be accessed at any time to verify whether the migration was completed successfully.
Reports can be generated for the entire migration project or for specific mapped objects.
The project-level report includes the overall migration status, detailed information about item migration for all objects in the project, as well as shortcut migration details. To generate this report, navigate to the Dashboard and click on “Generate migration report” in the toolbar.
The object-level report provides general information about the selected object, its migration status, and detailed migration data specific to that object.
To create this report, go to the Mappings tab and click on Create report in the toolbar.
In the Advanced Report Options pop-up window, you can configure how the report will be generated: either as a single report file or as separate files per user. If you choose to generate one file per user, you will need to enter a file name template and select the target folder. Currently, only PDF is supported as the file type.
Reports can be saved in various formats, including PDF, HTML, MHT, RTF, XLS, XLSX, and several image file formats.
Error Handling
To better track and manage errors, the Mappings tab provides two essential tools.
The Error Report function saves migration failures or errors related to a selected mapping. The report is generated in CSV format and can be created by clicking the Error report button in the Mappings tab.
In the Advanced failure report options pop-up window, you can configure how the report will be generated: either as a single report file or as separate files per user. If you choose to generate one file per user, you will need to enter a file name template and select the target folder. The report is generated in CSV format.
The Reset Errors function is used to reset shortcut migration errors. This is especially helpful if shortcuts no longer exist in the mailbox but still appear in the migration report. To reset the errors, click the Reset errors button.
A confirmation pop-up will appear – click Reset to finalize the process.
