Answer 1

There are two ways of getting the logging level:

1. Using the level argument:: /level:Detailed like:

   kitchen.bat /file:E:\someKettleJob.kjb /level:Detailed

2. You can use the Kettle logging system itself to get the detailed logging (in the Transformation settings). Check the image below

In your case, you can modify your code as below:

E:\PENTAHO\data-integration\Kitchen.bat /file:E:\PENTAHO\rml_app_profile.kjb /level:Detailed >> E:\rml_app_profile.log

Hope it helps :)
