Parameters into log file

Kathy is correct. In FME 2012 you will usually find it on line 7 (or thereabouts) in the log file.

The TCLCaller can be used to write non-published params.

Also the PythonCaller can be used to publish all avalaible Published Parameters. More information here: http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/How_To/Startup-and-Shutdown-Python-and-TCL-Scripts

I went looking for the parameters in my log files too, and they are not there, only in the interactive window. Maybe there is a parameter setting?

 

 

What is required is a way of getting all the parameters so that they can be used to create a batch file. I wanted a dozen of them, and I didn't want to run each workbench to get them in the interactive window.

 

Thanks for the answers.

 

 

I tried the Startup script proposition and I'm able to log the parameters.

 

 

But all the parameters are returned in the FME_MacroValues global variable: published parameters, private parameters, ...

 

Any idea on how identify and log only the published parameters?

 

 

Another "small" problem is that the password are also present int the FME_MacroValues dictionary and it's in plain readable format. How identify a password parameter to avoid logging it?

Finally I created a small Startup Python Script to log the Published Parameters also in the log file, the only limitation of this script is that I must add manually the list of parameters to publish to prevent to publish all the parameters, also the not published!

for parameter in parameters:

 

    if parameter in FME_MacroValues:

 

        logger.logMessageString(keyValue.format(parameter, \\
