Transfer Info Tab
The Info tab lists all additional informational fields available to the transfer instance. These fields are added and updated during the transfer execution.
The internal fields have a reserved name starting with the udmg_ prefix. Additional custom informational fields can be set during the transfer registration by the client on the interface. The reserved fields (with udmg_) shall not be set by the client unless it is required for correct processing (i.e., for the wildcard mode). The list of informational fields and values for a specific transfer depend on the protocol, the associated pre, post, and error tasks, and the type of the transfer.
Transfer Logs Tab
The Logs tab displays the log messages generated for the transfer request execution.
The Logs tab displays a green icon, indicating that the log is available for the transfer. This is only the case if the Detailed Logging has been enabled, see Logging Configuration.
When switching to this tab, the UDMG Admin UI retrieves the log file and displays it. Reload of the log can be triggered with the refresh button inside the Log tab pane.
