Has anyone ever encountered this system event message previously?

Event Description: Triggered whenever an error message is logged to fmeserver.log.Event Title: Error Message LoggedMessage: Parameter macro error for job request

This is occurring when a workspace in an automation completes successfully and should be triggering a downstream workspace but instead this message appears in the system events and no workspace is triggered. 

The parameters in the workspace that is failing to be triggered are not dynamic and have not changed recently. Since the automation has been switched on it has run successfully 139 times but we’ve now seen these messages in 5 of the past 6 runs.

    Thanks!
