Once the Transfer Appliance team receives your appliance, the data is transferred from the appliance into your Cloud Storage destination bucket. After the data transfer is complete, a confirmation email is sent verifying that the data was transferred successfully. You can validate that the data was transferred using the following methods.
Review the list of objects in your bucket
To validate your data, review the list of objects in your bucket using the instructions below:
List the objects in your bucket. If you provided an object prefix when providing bucket configuration details, the objects are displayed after the prefix.
Verify that the data you transferred to the appliance is listed in your bucket.
Review transfer log files in your bucket
After the data transfer is complete, you can review automatically generated
.csv log files in the destination bucket that list the files that
successfully transferred and failed to transfer from the appliance.
To find the most recent transfer log files, check the folder with the latest TIMESTAMP.
DESTINATION_BUCKET_NAME/transferappliance/logs/SESSION_ID/TIMESTAMP/transferred/transferred.FILE_NUMBER.csvDESTINATION_BUCKET_NAME/transferappliance/logs/SESSION_ID/TIMESTAMP/failedtotransfer/failed-to-transfer.FILE_NUMBER.csv
Once the appliance is onsite, the Transfer Appliance team moves the data from the appliance to the destination bucket. After the data is transferred, additional transfer logs are generated in the destination bucket that list details about the transfer such as error codes and details about each file. To review all the information listed in the transfer log, refer to the transfer log details table.
