Hi Richard, It's just there so that you can examine the features that caused the warning. The SDE writer had a rejected features pipeline, and we felt that other writers and functions could benefit from the same idea. This log dataset is a generic way of doing that.
I guess it just made sense that since we're working with spatial data we should provide a spatial log file. The workspace setting "number of features to log to file" can be set to zero if you want to prevent this file being written. Hope this helps Mark Mark Ireland, Senior Product Specialist Safe Software Inc.
