Errors, warnings, and other information generated as the transformation runs are stored in logs. You can specify how much information is in a log and whether the log is cleared each time through the Options section of this window. You can also enable safe mode and specify whether PDI should gather performance metrics. For more informaiton about the logging methods available in PDI, see Logging and Performance Monitoring.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Clear log before running | Indicates whether to clear all your logs before you run your transformation. If your log is large, you might need to clear it before the next execution to conserve space. |
| Log level | Specifies how much logging is performed and the amount of information captured:
|
| Enable safe mode | Checks every row passed through your transformation and ensure all layouts are identical. If a row does not have the same layout as the first row, an error is generated and reported. |
| Gather performance metrics | Monitors the performance of your transformation execution through these metrics. Use performance graphs shows how to visually analyze these metrics. |
