  Issues during migration or transport of WebI documents or objects.

  Explanation:
  
  &1 = Number of service definitions checked.
  &2 = Number of inconsistent service definitions found.
  &3 = Number of service definitions that can be repaired automatically.
  
  The system is informing you that out of the total service definitions checked, some are inconsistent, but some or all of these inconsistencies can be repaired.
