8.15 Generating Diagnostic Reports

8.15.1 Using the Migrate Client

PlateSpin Migrate provides a tool that can produce a diagnostics report for any running or completed job.

To view a diagnostics report:

  1. In the PlateSpin Migrate Client Jobs view, right-click the required job and select Run Diagnostics.

    The diagnostics report is displayed in a browser window. This process might take a few moments.

The diagnostics report lists several statistics:

  • All the operations involved in the job. Click any operation to view its XML representation.

  • The status of each operation.

  • The controller that ran the operation. Click the controller to view its XML representation, or click Logs to view its event log.

In addition, the report contains links to:

  • The XML representations of the source machine, original target machine, and the target VM host.

  • The root operation for the job, as well as a variety of logs and reports.

Diagnostics reports can be sent directly to technical support by following the instructions provided on the report.
