Hi,
We call final builder script from command line as:
FBCMD.EXE "/Pabc.fbp7" /TL "/VVar1=Var1;Var2=Var2"
A sample output log looks like:
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Variable [Var2] set to [Var2]

However, I do not want the variable values being shown in the log. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid
I have added a new command line option /XV which will stop those variables being logged.

We are using 2 versions on final builder: 7.0.0.1795 and 6.3.0.2172. Can you please provide the fix to both the builds?
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
This patch will not work for us because the log exlcuded every action’s output.

We want the log output of each action except for the variables passed to the script. The same is the case when we include a project in another project. The variables passed along are displayed in the log. Is there an easy way to not show these variables passed in the log?
Thanks.

Hmm… looks like I slipped up somewhere, that was not supposed to happen. Looking into it.

I’m not able to reproduce this here. Can you confirm you were using just /XV and not one of the other /X options like /XA ?

Hi Vincent,
The exact command line that I am using is:
FBCMD.exe “/PC:\abc.fbp6” /TL “/XVvar1=var1;var2=var2”

ok, that’s the problem, “/XVvar1=var1;var2=var2” is being treated as /XV /XA because /X can have mulitple options combined.
Try this :
FBCMD.exe “/PC:\abc.fbp6” /TL /XV /vvar1=“var1”;var2=“var2”

ok, that worked. Thanks a lot.
Now, I want to find out if there is a way to not show the variables shared/passed to an included project?
Also, can you please give us a patch for FB7 that we are using.
Thanks
