FirstClass Migrator implements and maintains three logs: Migration Status Log, Migration History Log, and Runtime Log. These logs record information about the different stages of migration, providing the user with a powerful way to track the migration process.
Migration Status Log
FirstClass Migrator creates and maintains a Migration Status Log for all objects to be migrated.
The Migration Status Log for distribution lists, accounts, and public folders is the FirstClass Client ID (CID), and for messages it is the date and time of migration. The Migration Status Log of distribution lists and accounts is stored in the objects themselves.
The Migration Status Log of public folders and messages is stored in a series of log messages created by the Migrator under each public folder.
 WarningThese log messages must not be edited, altered, or deleted in any way. Otherwise, you risk corrupting the Migration Status Log information they bear. If this occurs, and the Migrator is unable to recover from it, you can reset it manually by deleting the corrupt log message.
 NoteFor FirstClass Migrator to be able to create and maintain log messages, make sure the Microsoft Exchange account FirstClass Migrator uses to log into Microsoft Exchange has at least the "Editor" permission for all public folders.
Migration History Log
Migration History Log records various migration activities and their results. This information is saved in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format in the following files, which reside in the log directory specified in the Application Settings form:
� Account Migration History Log (FCAccount.log)
This contains: migration time, account information, migration result, and the reason for a failure, if any. It also lists the FirstClass mail lists the migrated account was added to upon its migration.
� Distribution Lists Migration History Log (FCDistList.log)
This contains: migration time, distribution list information, migration result, and member list. It also lists FirstClass mail lists the migrated distribution list was added to upon its migration.
� Public Folders Migration History Log (FCPubFld.log)
This contains: migration time, public folder information, migration actions (migrate or replicate) and their results. It also lists FirstClass mail lists the migrated public folder was added to upon its migration.
Note
If the public folder status is "Migrated", only the folder, not its contents, has been migrated. If the folder is "Replicated", both the folder and its contents have been migrated.
You can browse the Migration History Log content with FirstClass Migrator. To process the content further, you can use a dedicated spreadsheet application that supports CSV format files.
Runtime Log
The Runtime Log is a time-tagged collection of information and events in plain text format. It contains various application activities (such as network connection events, migration process and results), warnings, errors, and debug information (only under Debug mode) as they occur. The Runtime Log information is saved in a series of ".log" files, which reside in the log directory specified in the Application Settings form. Each FirstClass Migrator session generates a new Runtime Log file. These log files are named using this naming convention:
FCM_YYYY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss.log
where
FCM_ is the prefix to identify Migrator Runtime Log files, and is used by the integrated Runtime Log Browser to enumerate all Runtime Log files
YYYY_MM_DD is the start date of the current Migrator session
hh_mm_ss is the start time of the current Migrator session.
The Runtime Log classifies all incoming information into one of three catalogs:
� INFO
This is information describing various application activities, events, and results.
� WARNING
These are non-critical errors that may or may not interfere with migration.
� ERROR
These are fatal conditions, events, or results that prevent FirstClass Migrator from functioning properly.
Each catalog is displayed in a different color to help you locate specific log information quickly while browsing log content.
