Transporter Reports and Log Files

Reports are HTML-based and viewed via your system's default browser. This chapter provides information how to obtain logging information.

Session Logs

Session logs are created with a .sess extension and saved to your Transporter home directory under a subdirectory called sessions, by default.

The session log directory is configured via the Configuration Options dialog under General Options>Log Directory.

Example: Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.transporter\session\transporter-20100506025113898.sess

Note: A user's home directory is different on different platforms. The examples provided are specific to internal Windows XP systems and intended for demonstration only. Your configuration will be different.

These are examples of user home locations by platform:

Example: Microsoft Windows NT: <root>\WINNT\Profiles\<user> %UserProfile%

Example: Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and 2003: <root>\Documents and Settings\<user>

Example: Microsoft Windows Vista and 7: <root>\Users\<user>

Diagnostic Logs

New diagnostics logs are created with a .log extension and saved to your Transporter home directory under a subdirectory called logs:

  • Windows example:

    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.transporter\log\Transporter-20100506093221628.log

    Note: Diagnostic logging levels may be controlled via transporter.props. There is no corresponding option for session logs, which only contains information about data transport for a given session. See transporter.props Configuration for further information regarding logging options configurable via transporter.props.

    Note: A user's home directory is different on different platforms. The examples provided are specific to internal Windows XP systems and intended for demonstration only. Your configuration will be different.
