Viewing transfer status

Transfer logs contain information about the transfer of individual files; they are not action logs reporting the status of actions. When processing multiple files, each file transfer is logged individually when the actual file transfer begins. The log record is updated when the transfer is completed. If other action commands fail before the file transfer begins, the file transfer is not logged.

Use the Transfer Report to view the status of transfers that have already occurred.

  1. To view the Transfer Report, do one of the following:
    1. In the web UI, click Transfers. In the native UI, select Tools > Transfer Report or click Transfers in the toolbar.
      Note: In the web UI, if you click the Transfers button, by default, the web UI displays the entire transfer report without displaying the filtering criteria dialog box. To display the filtering criteria in the web UI, click Filter.
    2. Right-click a folder, host, and mailbox and then select Transfer Report from the context menu. If you use this method, the folder, host or mailbox you right-click will be preseleted as part of your filtering criteria.
    The Transfer Report Filter dialog box is displayed.
  2. Specify criteria for the transfers you want to display. See Transfer Status Filter.
    Alternatively, click Open to choose a previously saved filter criteria file to populate the fields in the dialog box.
  3. Select a format for the report. Choose either Table or Report. If you choose Report, you can select Include details to populate the report with detailed information about the transfers.
  4. Optionally, click Save As to save any filter criteria you specified to an XML file.
    You can use this XML file to later recall these settings using Open… or with the VLStatc -f command-line option to use the filter for reports generated to a file or to an email address.
  5. Click Continue to display the report.
Note: In the web UI, if you click the Transfers button, by default, the web UI displays the entire transfer report without displaying the filtering criteria dialog box. To display the filtering criteria in the web UI, click Filter.
