Tracking down WorkSpace started FME workspaces

I do not know of a native way. When I need this I let the parent workspace fill a postgres table with a record for each feature and the child workspace update this record when finished.

Setting it up this way has the advantage of being able to pause or abort the processing and not having to process all previously processed data again.

But it will take some work and I only use this when I need to process a lot of data, which is not very often.

Nice idea! Will dive into that one.

Do you just need to be notified when all child workspaces are complete or continue further processing?

Is it not just a case of setting “Wait for Job to Complete” to “Yes”?

It’s not an option if you want child jobs to run concurrently.

Both Yes or No for this setting are not completely satisfactory. Because in both cases the Child workspace or workspaces might be running while the Parent Workspace is ready. There is a kind of black box idea, because there is no other log which states whether all started Child workspaces are finished. Adding a FeatureWriter with a log file at the end of Child workspace is an interesting idea for like ​@nielsgerrits  suggested.
