I'm working with a script in python that will first create mload or fastexport files depending on parameters and then within the script I start those files to insert/export data. 

    result = subprocess.run(["{0} < {1}".format(file_type, file_path)], 
                                stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                                stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
                                shell=True)

example: fexp < .../conf.fx

This however creates logs in /logs folder depending on the application: either MloadUpload.log or FExpDownload.log Is there a parameter with which I could disable creation of log files by multiload and fastexport?
Can I do it from command line or within the config file?
I can't find an option for this anywhere :/

  • Why in the world would you not want log files from your jobs? What if you have an error? – Andrew Dec 10 '19 at 20:33
  • One of the requirements I need to meet is logs being optional – Aleksander Lipka Dec 10 '19 at 22:10
  • Are you sure those files are being created by multiload or fastexport utility? Those names don't look at all familiar. – Fred Dec 11 '19 at 18:15
  • Not so sure anymore, the log file starts with ```2019-12-11 16:29:50,654 - teradata.udaexec - INFO - Initializing UdaExec... ``` is this Teradata Python Module that is making the logs? – Aleksander Lipka Dec 12 '19 at 10:59
  • That is the older *teradata* module, yes. You can set configureLogging=false in the config file. But you don't need that module to run command-line utilities like fexp. And there is a newer, completely different *teradatasql* module that is preferred for applications where you do want a Python DBAPI driver. – Fred Dec 16 '19 at 20:10
