Is waveform generation disabled in Questa FSE?

Thank you for the feedback. But the post does not answer the actual problem where it's stated:
But no idea how to resolve the problem with no objects being included in the wlf.

The problem is twofold:

1) Why can't I add all the signals to the wlf file?
I removed the log statement and the simulation is running (what I did to generate the vcd file previously)
The simulation is running and the clock is running so there are signals toggling in the simulation.
Why does it not add any signals when I do log -r /*
I even tries log -r * and add wave -recursive * without any luck. This is what I've done in modelsim_ase in the past.
What is the Questa syntax to add all signals in the simulation to the wlf dump file and what arguments have to be added to the vsim command line?

2) Why is the data section of the vcd file empty when I run initial $dumpvars; ?
If I run the exact verilog source in the Vivado simulator (xelab and xsim) I see the signals toggle in the $dumpvars section of the vcd file.
Are any special command line arguments required to xsim to make sure that all signals are added to the vcd file specified in the verilog source?
