Hi.

Would it be possible to add a simple yes/no (default: no) option to the "Workspace Parameters/Logging" that enables "versioned" log files ?

It might be implemented simply by having FME append a timestamp (e.g. start of run) to the log file name (whatever that may be), so no previous log file is ever overwritten.

The purpose is to enable checking log files from multiple runs against each other. Some times a translation is run multiple times before a comparison is warranted.

The option to "append to log" file doesn't really work for this, and is a lot more complex to handle and administrate.

Cheers

As of FME 2024.2 and newer, you can now include Datetime in the log file to easily create a versioned log file.

This can be configured under the Workspace Parameters:
