Hi.

I just had a job on our FME server 2022.2.2 go haywire.

When reading from one or more database tables, it suddenly spews out a _lot_ of error messages, repeating the same two lines from line 319 to line 865997 (on page 1734):

Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: An internal error has occurred. Please visit http://www.safe.com/support
Microsoft SQL Server Spatial Reader: Failed to parse datetime, attribute set as null

What gives ? Should I be concerned ?

I've occasionally encountered huge log files before, but haven't had any idea why. Next time I'll see if it's the same issue.

The job took several minutes (as opposed to normally a handful of seconds) to finish, which is not good.

Cheers.

I have the same problem. FME Flow 2024.2 Build 24783 - win64

 

It doesn’t seem to be limited to the MS SQL reader:
