Generating logs for transformation configurations

You can generate a log when you run a transformation configuration. A log provides information on rule execution, the source elements, and the target elements. You can use the log to learn how a transformation converts source elements to target elements or for debugging purposes if the transformation does not generate the expected output. The log is generated as an XML file in the .metadata folder in your workspace.

You must be in the Modeling perspective.
To log the execution of a transformation configuration:
  1. Click Modeling > Transform > Configure Transformations.
  2. In the Configure Transformations window, from the Transformations/Configurations list, select a transformation configuration.
  3. Click the Common tab.
  4. On the Common page, click Log transformation execution.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Click Close.
The next time that you run the transformation, the log is displayed in the Console view.
