FME Flow currently has columns in the Jobs Completed screen like the workspace, source, date/time, engine, etc.

What happens for bulk dynamic data replication is you need to run the same fmw multiple times with differing parameters. e.g. a SQL Server to SHP Downloader that runs on a single table at a time.

Whilst yes you COULD run the workspace only once (reading hundreds of thousands of features), this not only adversely and unnecessarily affects server resources but means a single error affects all data. 

Instead, it’s best to run the workspace multiple times (once per SQL Server table) via say a FMEFlowJobSubmitter.

In FME Flow this means you get the Jobs screen full of hundreds of the same workspace with a differing date. There’s no way to tell at a glance what parameters caused the 10 out of 200 jobs of the same workspace to fail.

I’d like to see a parameter exposed in the Jobs screen so that I can see at a glance that Table ABC and XYZ failed. Not that Workspace123 failed 10 times with unknown parameters. Yes, I’m aware you can click into each job manually and that yes we could setup a log-reader workspace to do this. Or that we could setup a postprocessing task. I have setup such before - but it’d be nice out-of-the-box in the Jobs screen.

This could be a standard parameter or a FME Flow parameter that can be set by the author (e.g. linked to a Published Parameter).

Thanks.
