Identifying and resolving blocking issues that prevent migration

To identify items that need to be resolved prior to migration, you can review the log output from SMAT. There are three core logs located in the Log output directory, as follows:

  • SMAT.log: General log file, containing information, warning, and error messages. Error conditions should be investigated, as they indicate issues that may prevent the user from moving forward.
  • SMAT_Errors.log: Log file containing only errors. If the file is not present after running SMAT, then no errors were present.
  • SMATTelemetry.log: Data for telemetry; does not affect the migration process or reporting.

An example of the SMAT_Errors log is shown in the following screenshot, referencing that an unauthorized access exception was returned:

Using the error messages in the log file, resolve any system issues. You may want to continue rerunning SMAT, attempting to resolve errors until the error log is clear.
