Result

• You will receive an Acknowledgment email that contains details about the data you requested.

• You will receive a Completion email that contains the location of the log files and staged server:

  • If you requested only log files or a database dump, you will receive an email that specifies the location of those files.

  • If you requested both log files and database staging, you will receive two emails. One email specifies the location of the log files. The other email contains information about how to access the staged server and a summary of the customer environment.

• All data you requested, including unzipped log files and staged servers, remains available for seven days.
