COPY LOCAL
When the COPY LOCAL statement is used within a vsql command, exception and reject logs are written to the log directory on the ETL server, when the following configuration file environment variables are set: BaseLogDirectory is set to the directory location where the exception, reject, and job log files are written; COPYLOCAL, CAPTUREERRORS, and CAPTUREREJECTS environment variables are set to Yes.
