When a P4 action FAILS, I can see the full params sent to P4 in the log (see below).

&nbsp;

But when a P4 action SUCCEEDS, I cannot see the params. I only see the command output (for a sync operation, that is just a huge list of files). Without seeing the params, I cannot know that the intended action was really done.

How can I see this Param detail for successful actions?

Thanks!!!

OK, I found the "log action properties" option... trying that now...

No, the "log action properties" is NOT the ticket. See below.

Without the "success" log giving me the detail of the "fail" log (shown above), I am stuck.

Hi Sam   
  
 It looks like you are using a depricated action, there is a newer Perforce Sync action which has more chance of behaving correctly than the depricated one.

Sorry about that!

(This project has been around for a bit... I thought we had already moved to the newer P4 action types!)

Will update the P4 ops right away!

Using the newfangled P4 sync option did the trick! Perfect!   
  
 (I apologize… I am but a part time steward of the FB project… I thought the “other guys” had migrated to the new P4 actions long ago… but see otherwise! Will fix that!)
