Quite an odd error here. We have one workbench that calls 3 others through the FMEServerJobSubmitter transformer. We are using Named Database Connections as they are shared through the 4 workbenches.

When using one Named Database Connection, we'll call it My_Conn, it works in the 1st Workbench, then the second, but when it is called in the 3rd workbench, there's an error in the workbench, and through going through the logs, it shows as this:

 

 

2016-05-27 15:50:45| 0.3| 0.0|INFORM|Opening POSTGRES reader for dataset 'MY_CONN'
2016-05-27 15:50:45| 0.3| 0.0|ERROR |Error connecting to PostgreSQL database(host='', port='', dbname='MY_CONN', user='', password='***'): 'could not connect to server: No such file or directory

So it is effectively saying the Named Connection is actually the dbname in the connection. It isn't, and this has worked previously in the previous workbench

Any ideas?

Do I have to raise this as an incident with SAFE as this bug is a show stopper.

Hi @BrianAtSafe,

Have there been any findings with regards to this bug, as it is stopping our DTP in its tracks?

Hello

we've got the same Problem, and the same message (as posted from @phallett):

After adding a postgis reader to an publisched workspace on FMEServer 2016.1, the script doesn't run anymore. On FMEDays 2016 in Germany a developer from ConTerra could identificate the problem.

Our workbench was already running on FMEServer 2015.1 AND was imported via backup-function after upgrading to the newest FMEServer version. It seems there might be problems with the named connections.

The problem can be temporabily solved, when the connection information will be embedded (right click on the reader in the leftside tree-structure) in the workspace (FMEDesktop) and afterwards uploaded to FMEServer.

@BrianAtSafe: Using "Named Connections", I don't want to save the connection in the workbench anymore. So I'm also interested in an solution from you.

Best regards

Bernd


We have been able to replicate this problem whereby a child job cannot access the database connections. In these cases, the parent job seems fine but when it calls the child job with "wait" set to "yes", the error mentioned above occurs.

This has now been fixed in FME 2016.1.1 Build 16604+ which should be made available within the next few weeks.
