FME 2018 Workspace runner crashes

Hi FME'ers,

I am working with the new WorkspaceRunner transformer in FME 2018 (Build 18284 - WIN64). I have come across an issue whereby the first FME process always stalls then crashes. For example, if I run 3 processes with 1 workspace each, the first will stall while the other two run to completion then the first will crash.

I am writing to ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) in transaction mode with 5000 features per transaction. Before running I truncate the tables with arcpy so they are not getting locked.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you

David

Hi @djmcdermott, crashing is not something we take lightly. Are you able to submit a problem report? Please attach the workspaces and log files. One of our Technology Experts will look into the crash for you.

Hi @TiaAtSafe, I deleted the log files so I have to run it again. To give you some more context, I have 30 OS MasterMap gz files to process at various sizes. The aim is to run 3 concurrent processes with 10 workspaces each. I am rerunning the WSR each time upping the number of workspaces included in the three processes to a total of 10. I added a terminator at the end of the FeatureWriter transformer in the child workspace then ran 3 processes with 3 workspaces each and it didn't crash. I am now running 3 processes with 5 workspaces each trying to recreate the crash.

Even though one of the processes hasn't crashed it still stalls. I have attached a screenshot which shows 2 processes utilizing CPU and 1 not. My initial thought is this process is waiting for something and eventually times out causing the crash.

Once I have recreated the crash I will send workspace and log files.

Hi @TiaAtSafe,

 

 

Since I added the terminator to the end of the FeatureWriters it seems to have stopped crashing. This maybe a bug or not. I believe the delay is due to writing an ESRI Annotation layer. I know they are very slow to write.
