Python Shutdown script not executed

Can you format your code please ? or a screenshot in FME Desktop.

Where is the error in log file ?

cleanupArcFM is defined in Startup Script and you call your def in Shutdown script. May be the best thing is to put the same def in Shutdown script

Yes the log should be interesting. The only way we wouldn't invoke the shutdown python is if the whole translation were going down hard.

I agree with the others, you need to post the formatted code, as indenting is meaningful in Python.

Having said that, you could probably simplify your debugging a fair bit by dropping the function definitions and just doing everything line-by-line, in a sequential order. Would probably look something like this:

import win32com.client
app = win32com.client.Dispatch('Miner.Framework.Dispatch.MMAppInitializeDispatch')
runtime = win32com.client.Dispatch('Miner.Framework.Dispatch.MMRuntimeEnvironmentDispatch')
app.Initialize(0x5)
runtime.RuntimeMode = 0x4
print "ArcFM runtime mode", runtime.RuntimeMode
if app:
    app.Shutdown
del app
print "ArcFM shutdown"

Sorry about the lack of indentation (I know it is important, but it fell away copying it from an email).

Here is the better text:

The FME log shows this Error:

Python Exception <TypeError>: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Error executing string `def initializeArcFM():

The error message indicates that either of the 'app' or 'runtime' objects failed to initialize.

Maybe try manually typing the commands into idle or something to see exactly what the error is

Can you explain to us, why the definition is in Startup and the call is just in Shutdown ? I don't think there is a communication between the startup and shutdown script.

I think all Python code inside a single running workspace is executed inside the same instance of the Python interpreter. That is why it is possible to define global objects in e.g. a PythonCaller and then reference them in the shutdown script. So technically I would assume the above to work, although I agree that it is a bit weird ;-)

A somewhat interesting exception is if you use Python-based transformers in the workspace (notably the StatisticsCalculator), which re-initalizes the Python interpreter on the first feature, making you lose everything that was defined in before that point.

You need to have a confirmation from Safe from this point: "all Python code inside a single running workspace is executed inside the same instance of the Python interpreter"

I agree, that would be ideal. However, it is pretty easy to test for using global variables. So far, it seems to hold true, and I take advantage of it quite often.

Hi Erik_jan, can I ask if you install pythonwin for your script to run?
