Masking option "LOGFILENAME" not working correctly after version 4.9.203 of FDM

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

We recently patched our DEV and PROD environments from FDM version 4.9.203 to version 4.9.224 and noticed that the LOGFILENAME option behavior has changed.

In version 4.9.203 when we used the LOGFILENAME masking option to specify a filename for the logs, the file was created correctly in the directory specified in the LOGDIR option. Since the patch, this option is no longer working correctly. It creates a default name very long and when we do multiple masking in the same run and specify a different filename for the logs, this file is getting overwritten each time.

In version 4.9.203, each filename for every masking in the same run was getting created without issue.
