Export All Log Files
You can export the log files of all tasks that are present in the current server log files.
Procedure
1 Select File > Export Logs.
2 Select a location to which to save the files and click Save.
All current server log files are saved to the selected directory.
3 Open the log files with a text editor.
UFAD and Client Log Files Locations
Converter Standalone saves log files as it operates.
Table 6-1 lists the default locations where log files are saved. You can view the log files or send them to VMware
support, if necessary.
These file locations are also the file locations on the remote machine if you are running a remote hot clone. To
send these log files from a remote machine to VMware support, you must manually compress and send them.

Filter the Tasks in the Task List
The number of archived tasks can grow to be very large. To minimize clutter in the task list, you can lower the
number of tasks that appear. You can choose which tasks to appear in the task list by filtering them.
You can filter tasks by history, status, or multiple criteria.
n
