## Symptoms

- * Migrate export on the Management server fails with "`Failed to fopen source file: No such file or directory`".  

* Migrate Log contains the following messages:  

  `

  Copying file 'cpm.elg.5' from directory '/opt/CPsuite-R80.40/fw1/log/' into directory '/opt/CPsuite-R80.40/fw1/tmp/migrate/regular_files/fwdir/log/imported_logs/'`  
  `
  Splitting path 'cpm.elg.5'`  
  `
  `**cpIsDir: Calling cpIsDirEx: No such file or directory**   
  `
  ERR: Failed to copy file`  
  `
  ERR: Failed to perform action on component`  
  `
  ERR: Failed to transfer file`  
  `
  ERR: Failed to copy required files`  
  `
  Indication about gzip execution failure is: 0`  

* Attempt to check the info on the missing file will results in seeing a symbolic link:  

  `
  # cd $FWDIR/log`  
  `
  # ls -l cpm.elg.5`  
  `
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 45 Jun 21 09:13 cpm.elg.5 -> /var/log/opt/CPsuite-R80.30/fw1/log/cpm.elg.5`  

  Instead of the normal state:  
  `
  # ls -l cpm.elg.5`  
  `
  -rw-rw---- 1 admin root 765 Jun 23 00:13 cpm.elg.5`   

* The directory that should contain the file does not exist or does not have the file.

## Cause

Sometimes log files of FWM and CPM are placed in a different folder and *$FWDIR/log* contains soft-links to those files. However those soft links are leading to the incorrect folder, leading to Management server unable to find the logs.  
Usually *cpm.elg* and *fwm.elg* files themselves are not affected.
