How to know if a translation was successfully or not

How does your code run the FME translation? Using the .NET IFMEOWorkspaceRunner interface, or by any other method?

No I don't use IFMEOWorkspaceRunner, the simplest way I found was to open a process and run it with arguments; but I need to know if the translation was successfully or not in order to save the result in a table.

 

In case is needed this is the code I use for open a process, pass the arguments and run fme.

 

 

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo;

 

info.Arguments = "/C fme.exe " + workspace + " --BName " + BNameFix + " --BType " + BType + " --DB " + DB + " --Schema " + Schema + " --DName " + DName + " --DestDataset_ACAD " + "\\"";

 

info.FileName = "fme.exe";

 

Process.Start (info);

The simplest solution is probably to use the Process.ExitCode property:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.process.exitcode?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view;=netframework-4.7.2#System_Diagnostics_Process_ExitCode

There may be some cases where this won't work, however, and if so you'll probably have to scan the FME log file and look for either string (I recommend case sensitive):

1Translation was SUCCESSFUL

or

1Translation FAILED

Thank you @david_r; but as you said this won't wok in some cases and I was thinking what if I can use python? there's any way that I can use python to know or to log into a file if the translation was successful or not? thanks

You can also use the workspace shutdown script to write out the translation status.

Sample Python shutdown script that will write either "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE" to the text file named <workspace filename>_status.log

1import fmemessage = 'SUCCESS' if fme.status else 'FAILURE'log_filename = fme.macroValues['FME_MF_DIR'] + '/' +                fme.macroValues['WORKSPACE_NAME'] + '_status.log'with open(log_filename, 'w') as statuslog:    statuslog.write(message)

There's a lot if interesting stuff in the 'fme' module that you may want to in include in this file:
