Hi Peter, Yes, This is a 2007 feature that I think will be very useful. In essence, any feature that gets sent to the log window now also gets written to an FFS "log" dataset.
In Workbench... 1) The FFS file will be in the same location and with the same name as the text log file. 2) The number of features is controlled by a Workspace Setting - Max Logged Features to Record. Set this to zero to stop the logging. In a Mapping File... 1) LOG_FEATURE_FILENAME can be used to rename the output 2) LOG_MAX_RECORDED_FEATURES can be used to control the number of logged features In both... 1) Attributes are added to the features to record what the log message was, and what the preceding message was. It's usually the preceding message that says why the feature was 'rejected', for example... fme_log_severity - inform fme_log_previous_message_severity - warn fme_log_previous_message - "AreaBuilder - rejected feature... etc" 2) The text log will tell you how many features were sent to the FFS, for example... Stored 10 feature(s) to FME feature store file c:\fme\worksp_log.ffs When will this happen....? Some examples... 1) An AreaBuilder that rejects a feature as not a line 2) Oracle writer that truncates attributes (when strict schema=yes) 3) Any feature sent to a Logger transformer (or presumably @Log) Is it password protected? No - at least I'd be very surprised if it was. Can you send me an example Peter? Regards, Mark Mark Ireland, Senior Product Specialist Safe Software Inc.
