We are using _CloverETL-.1.7-5.1.0.113_ version.

When ETL fails to extract data from DB it used to log  
error messages(exceptions) in a single line and subsequent  
error messages get appended to the single line.

_For example we have only 4 lines of log which is almost 1GB._  
_Which is very hard to debug as the text is not wrapping._

Is there a way where we can configure subsequent error message  
on a new line. To make our debugging easy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance  
Prathap

Hi,  
the version of CloverETL is version of the GUI or the engine? However it looks like you’re using an old and unsupported version of Clover.

The logging behavior might be caused by some global configuration of log4j in your system, i.e. by some global properties.

We are using old version of CLOVERETL. Its actually ETL version not GUI.

Checked with log4j configuration but they are perfect.

Hi,  
did you try using a newer version of Clover to see it the bug still occurs?
