Output Logs

Everything that happened. Everything.

The Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA) generates log files as it runs. These log files contain details on the execution of the SMA and are helpful when troubleshooting an execution that may not have been successful.

These log files will end with the file extension .log, will have the date in the filename, and will be actively written to while the SMA is run. There are three log files currently generated by the SMA:

• Controller-Log: The Controller Log displays generic information about the execution of the SMA including the session ID and some other summary metrics. The log will end when the tool execution completes.

• Generic-Scanner-Log: The Generic Scanner is a simple scanner run at the start of any tool execution. This log file shows a session ID, an execution ID, and if the scanner ws able to complete.

• SparkSnowConvert-Log: This is the primary log generated by the SMA. This log details the execution of the SMA (formerly called SnowConvert for Spark) scanner. This log will list any errors (both execution errors and conversion errors) that the tool encounters as it runs. It will finish writing to the log when the tool execution finishes. This log spells out the steps the SMA goes through, and is very helpful to troubleshoot through a failed tool execution.

That's it for the logs. If you are encountering an issue with the SMA and are diving into the logs, feel fre to head on over to the Support section of this documentation or reach out directly to [e-mail].
