logged

Everything Funnel does is written to a log file on disk. A typical entry in the log can look like this:

2010-07-23 12:17:11,818 ================ BEGIN ===================
2010-07-23 12:17:11,818  "C:\tmp\funnel.in"-c"original"--replace--maxrows50--cacheWork
2010-07-23 12:17:11,818 inputFilename = C:\tmp\funnel.in
2010-07-23 12:17:11,818 outputFilename= C:\tmp\funnel.in
2010-07-23 12:17:11,818 process = Original order
2010-07-23 12:17:11,834 50 rows read
2010-07-23 12:17:11,834 50 rows written
2010-07-23 12:17:11,834 ================= END ====================

You can increase the amount of information by including the "--debug" parameter when you sort the file. Most of that information is intended for developers of Funnel. But there are tidbits in there that can help you to optimize your sort.

The log file directory can be controlled a through JVM parameter to Funnel.
"-DlogDir=<some path="" here="">. Only specify a directory, not a file. The file name will always be "funnel.log".</some>
