I am trying to view the list of completed JOBs in FME Server (Manage> Jobs> Completed) and the page displays the following error:


Error: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 3 of document : Character reference "" is an invalid XML character. Nested exception: Character reference "" is an invalid XML character.

 


This error does not occur in the list of running or queued JOBs. I get the impression that there is some error in the file that lists the LOGs already finalized. Is this correct? What file is this?

Was it working previously and did you make a change to server prior to it not working?

No, no changes were made to the server. Scheduled flows performed normally over the weekend. We just can not see the list of JOBs being executed.

 

 


You probably have a wrong character into your XML. Have you checked at line 3 into your XML?

There are no workspaces with XML

 

 


Hi @inovacaogis,

We have seen this error before in a 2015.1 version of FME Server. The problem occurred when a workspace had a certain error with SDE and irregular unicode characters appeared in the log. This caused the jobs page and the call to get jobs from REST to give throw this error. It has been fixed in build 16608. So if your version is after that please submit a case. As a workaround you can remove all jobs using REST after you make a copy of the log files.
