Excel Reader: Damaged or not a .zip file

Hello FME community,

Can someone help me with this error message on FME Server ?

"Excel Reader: Failed to open dataset '<filepath>'. Error message was: 'damaged or not a zip file.'

I run a workspace on FME Server which reads an Excel-file (.xlsx), but FME Server reports that the input Excel file is zipped or corrupt. Although, the Excel file exists on that particular location and is not corrupt or zipped. The file is published with the workspace so it's on the same directory on server.

I don't get this error when I run the process on my local computer.

If you manually unzip the Excel file to the same location as the zip, does that work?

david_r,

 

Thank for your response.

 

I've ran the same workspace today and it finished correctly.

 

The problem regarding this Excel reader is no longer present.

 

I will no longer investigate what was causing this error, but most likely, a reboot of my computer fixed this issue.
