Create Undo Logs on the Local Drive

When performing migrations, undo logs can get quite large. It is more efficient to designate the local drive for the creation of the Undo file, if there is enough space available. After the migration and completion of the Undo file, it can be moved to a network location.

If you are using the CA DMM user interface, follow these steps:

1. Click Options, Logs

   The Log Options dialog appears.

2. Change the path to save the undo file, and then click OK.

   The undo file is saved by default to the local My Documents folder.

If you are using an Options file, follow these steps:

1. Open the DMM Options Editor from the Start menu.

   DMM Options Editor opens.

2. Click File, Open or click the File Open toolbar button. Browse to the folder where CA DMM is installed and select the DDNAOptions.dox file.

   Note: If you have not run DesktopDNA.exe, click File, New to create the file.

3. Expand the Logging node in the left pane of the DMM Options Editor.

   A list of all the logging subnodes appears.

4. Select the Undo Log subnode.

   The Undo Log options appear in the right pane of the DMM Options Editor.

5. Change the option Path to save Undo log.
6. Save the DDNAOptions.dox file.

   The path of the Undo log file is changed.
