FME 2016 Bypass error and continue

Currently we have an FME Script for that refreshes 1 ESRI Geodatabase to another (i.e. a direct copy). The problem is when there's an error on just one feature class, the entire workspace fails. Is there a way to bypass any errors and continue with the translation. We want to use a simpler way i.e. not validate all of the fields whenever there's an error encountered (i.e. not use the Tester / AttributeValidator). Can anyone please suggest of the most efficient way to do this?

Hi @azajarc

 

If you are doing a 'Direct copy' you might find that the PATH reader coupled with a Filecopy writer is a better method. This is more akin to a Copy/Paste. It should cut down on reading and writing and will not throw errors if there are bad date. Here's an example of someone trying to do something similar: https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/35366/using-filecopy-writer-to-move-fgdb-source-folder-g.html
