Workspace runner - child process fails when reading Excel files


Badge +11

I have a colleague with FME who wants to batch run a few processes using workspace runners. The first workspace reads multiple Excel spreadsheets and runs successfully when started on its own, not using the workspace runner, but when trying with the workspace runner it fails at the reading stage with no further information on the error - including in the child workspace's log file. I don't have the workspace here to add, but any general ideas as to why this may fail would be helpful - if I can get further details I will do.

Indeed, you are sure all parameters generated in the parent workspace are passed succesfully to the childs? Does the log say anything where exactly the process failed?
