Question

Send a single email if multiple Automation workspaces fail


Badge +5

Is there any way to send a single, aggregated email listing all failed workspaces if multiple workspaces in an FME Server Automation fail?

For example, if I have 3 workspaces running in parallel and 2 of the 3 fail, I'd like a single email telling me which 2 failed.

It looks like this might be possible with the new Split-Merge block in FME 2021 but, unfortunately, I'm on FME Server 2020.

Thinking out loud here:

You could have each fail port run through a Log action, then at the end of the automation have a workspace pick up all those logged failures and make a simple report out of it.

That could definitely work but I was hoping for a more "native" way of handling this directly in an Automation. Thanks for the suggestion though.
