Runtime

Select Tools > FME Options and click the Runtime icon.

Translation Priority

You can set the CPU priority for running translations. In most cases, the default Normal setting is adequate. If you regularly run large translations, you can keep the default setting, or change it to Low, so the translations won't dominate your CPU (and so you can do other work in the foreground while the translation is running). If you have other CPU-intensive tasks running concurrently, you may want to set the priority to High to make sure the translation gets its share of the CPU.

Track Usage Statistics

If you select this option, FME will transmit information about your version of Windows and how you use FME. The information collection process is completely anonymous, and your results will be automatically combined with other users' results. The resulting statistics will help us identify trends and usage patterns (for example, which formats and processing facilities are utilized more than others), which in turn will help us focus our development efforts for future versions of FME.

We will not collect your name, address or any other personally identifiable information.

Log File Defaults

  • Save log to file:  Select this option to save the translation log in the default workspace folder. (When you choose Save to file in the log pane, the default location will be the location you choose under Default Workspace Folder, below. The default filename will be
    translation_log.txt.)
  • Append to log file: Select this option to append log results to the previously generated log instead of overwriting the file.
  • Log timestamp and debugging information: Select either of these options to add these additional details to your log file output.

Log Filter

Select the type(s) of messages you want to view in the log file. For example, you might want the log to display only Warnings and Errors.
