## Symptoms

- * Migrate export file creation takes a very long time, and the output file size is abnormally large.
* The scenario is relevant if no flags were added to the command.
* The migrate export file contains the directory: 'rtdir_log_indexes'.
* Size of the export file will vary according to the size of the 'rtdir_log_indexes' directory
* Following logs are seen in $CPDIR/log/migrate\[date\].log file:  
  ` 
  [DATE TIME] [DirContentRemover::exec] Going to delete everything from directory '/opt/CPsuite-R80.20/fw1/tmp/migrate/`  
  `
  [DATE TIME] [DirContentRemover::exec] WRN: Failed to remove '/opt/CPsuite-R80.20/fw1/tmp/migrate/rtdir_log_indexes'`

## Cause

The indexes are also exported due to existence of the /opt/CPsuite-R80.20/fw1/tmp/migrate/rtdir_log_indexes directory on the source machine, which failed to be removed.
