Transferring log files
If a system log contains data that may require archiving, consider using the Transfer Files screen to
export the log file to an external location (that you designate) where there is no risk of deleting the
contents of the log.
To transfer a log file to a user specified location:
1. Select Diagnostics > System Logging from the main menu tree.
2. Select the File Mgt tab.
3. Select a target log file to transfer and click the Transfer File button.
4. Use the From drop-down menu (within the Source field) to specify the location from which the
log file is sent. If only the applet is available as a transfer location, use the default switch
option.
5. Select a target file for transfer from the File drop-down menu. The drop-down menu contains
the log files listed within the File-Mgt screen.
6. Use the To drop-down menu (within the Target field) to define whether the target log file is to be
sent to the system's local disk (Local Disk) or to an external server (Server).
7. Provide the name of the file to be transferred within the File parameter. Ensure the file name is
correct or the transfer will not take place.
Mnemonic Use the Mnemonic as a text version of the severity code information. A mnemonic
is convention for the classification, organization, storage and recollection of switch
information.
