The migration process is logged: the information on the migration process is saved in one file. The migration logs are located in the %plesk_dir%\PMM\logs\ folder (where %plesk_dir% is the system variable defining the folder where Plesk is installed).
Two types of log files are created during each migration process:
Migration.log - contains the most detailed information on all migration stages and steps, including messages about errors that happened during the migration. Note: We recommend you to refer to this log file if serious problems occur and if you need the most detailed information on the migration.
Note that this log file is overwritten for every migration, so there is always only one Migration.log file, which is associated with the migration that was most recently performed.
AdminMigration.log - contains information on the most important steps of the migration process. The main point about the AdminMigration.log file is that it provides information on logins and passwords registered in Plesk after the migration. This is important because some user's logins and passwords are changed during the migration, and this log file is the only place where information on this changes is present. AdminMigration.log is created for each migration without overwriting. This is achieved by adding to the file name numbers that indicate when the migration was performed in the following format: AdminMigration_2005_11_18_10.log. The name of log file in this example says that the migration was performed at 10:XX AM on November 18, 2005. If you perform several migrations in one hour, numbers in square brackets will be added to the file name. For example, if you perform 3 migrations from 10 AM to 11 AM, say at 10:15, 10:30 and 10:45, and it was the most recent migration that you performed at 10:45, then 3 log files are crated: AdminMigration_2005_11_18_10[0].log, AdminMigration_2005_11_18_10[1].log and AdminMigration_2005_11_18_10.log.
AdminMigration.log file starts with the information on the source host (IP address or server name) and type of the migration (full or selective), followed by the information about the migrated objects. Log parts describing migration of each user account are separated with strings containing equal marks (===). Log parts describing migration of each domain are separated with strings containing hyphens (---).
Here is a sample part of log file created during the selective migration when accounts are chosen as migration objects. It contains all types of strings that can be found in the AdminMigration.log file:
