Additional Information

The FMW file linked in a spatial ETL tool has two different places to write its log file, depending on the context of its run. The first context is to run the tool within the Geoprocessing pane. The log file is stored in the project's GPMessage folder. In this context, the file location cannot be changed, and the filename is some random string without a file extension. However, it is an XML file. This is working as designed. The second context is when the same FMW file is opened directly in the Workbench app and the Play button is clicked to run the tool. This context stores the log file in the same location as where the FMW file is stored, using the default file name as the FMW file name. In this context, the Workbench app can be used to change the log file parameter.

Workaround

The log file parameter option is available when the FMW file is opened using the Workbench app and navigating to this FMW file with the Open fmw menu item. Once the workspace is opened in the canvas, the log file parameter is visible, and the Log File parameter is configurable. There is no workaround within ArcGIS Pro.
