Create Undo Logs on the Local Drive

When performing migrations, undo logs can get large. The efficient method is to designate the local drive for the creation of the Undo file, provided space is available. After the migration and completion of the Undo file, it can be moved to a network location.

Follow these steps:

CA DMM user interface

1. Click Options, Logs
2. Change the path to save the undo file.
3. Click OK.

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

Options File

1. Open the DMM Options Editor from the Start menu.
2. Click File and then the File Open toolbar button.
3. Browse to the folder where CA DMM is installed and select the DDNAOptions.dox file.

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

4. Expand the Logging node in the left pane of the DMM Options Editor.
5. Select the Undo Log subnode.

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

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

   The path of the Undo log file is changed.
