BTW the template (TXP) file is supposed to create its own log, when ran as "execute template" it creates the log (although content can be very hard to read if the exported data file is large (45 min runtime), for some reason the log file ballons up with empty spaces)
When the same TXP file is part of an "automate" job/script, the log gets created, but when the TXP completes inside the automate job, it deletes it... pretty strange behavior.
