Question

A colleague of mine fails to run translations because her workspace cannot find a log file, but the workspace works fine on my computer. How come?

Hello! I'm trying to help our new teammate with my limited FME knowledge figure out how to get our workspaces to run on her computer. Whenever she tries running a translation, it almost immediately terminates and returns a message that it was unable to open a log file.

The FME version she is running is different from the version of the workspace, but when I try and use it on my computer that also has mismatched version, the translation succeeds. We tried setting a logfile that already existed as suggested in this post: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q00008LczubSAB/i-am-a-new-fme-userwhen-i-try-to-run-a-workspace-that-has-been-authored-by-a-colleague-i-get-the-following-error-message-and-the-translation-terminates-i-can-save-the-workspace-as-a-different-file-name-and-it-will-run-without-error

 

But that didn't work either, giving a file does not exist message. Any suggestions?

@adibd99​ did you try just clearing the Log File as shown in the article you referenced? Then FME will just write tot he default location which is a log file with the same name as the workspace, in the same folder as the workspace.
