Manifest Log Options

The Manifest log is a log file you can create when you perform a migration. It is an XML-based file that captures the detailed contents of a migration. The Manifest log lets you do the following:

Programmatically or manually verify the contents of a DNA file as part of a quality assurance check
Record what was migrated into the DNA file and applied from the DNA file onto the destination system
Import the manifest into a database for reporting purposes or record keeping
Perform data mining to determine such things as the average amount of space users need to store data (on the hard drive or on a data share), or the amount of files (types and sizes) that are contained on users' systems

Note: For deferred migrations, you can create a manifest log on both the source and destination systems. For real-time migrations, you can create a manifest log only on the destination system. The manifest log captured on the destination systems for both real-time and deferred migrations shows the source path and the destination path for settings and files.
