Hi everyone,

 

I am working with transformer FMEServerJobSubmitter to propagate the information about the files .dbf to PgAdmin table.

 

Previously in the child-workspace we used a WorkspaceRunner and it was showed of the next way: It was something very simple where it just counted with 3 parameters and it used a parameter path_windows because it referenced a file route where the 56 files .dbf were saved and there was no problem because it wrote all the information  in the PgAdmin table because it worked in a local way.

 

WorkspaceRunner 

Now, it is working on FME Server and the transformer WorkspaceRunner was changed to the transformer FMEServerJobSubmitter and they are using the values in the parameters including the path_windows value and when we try to run, it doesn't propagate the information of the 56 .dbf files, it just sends a message of successful in JobSubmiter and the 56 logs that should be created result with status failure.

 

FMEServerJobSubmitterReviewing the log, I realize that all process works until it executes the FMEServerJobSubmitter where this transformer fails, and it does that the process doesn't finish successfully.

LogI would like to know if does FMEServerJobSubmitter recognize the path_windows? or is there any other parameter value that I should use that help me to write my information?

 

Best greetings and thanks for help

Hi Cecy,

You could try changing the "Wait for Jobs to Complete" parameter to Yes. That way the transformer will wait for the translation results and if anything, like for example an unrecognized path, causes the child jobs to fail, you will get this information in the parent workspace through the Failed output port of the transformer

Best regards,

Francisco

Hi Francisco!

 

Thank you for your answer! 

 

I implemented the best practice. I changed the parameter 'Wait for Jobs to Complete' to yes, but it still failing.

To be honest it looks like the helper workspace is being passed filenames that don't exist. So it "fails" but runs to completion because there isn't really an error.

 

Are you using the Path/Directory reader? I just tried that and it does work on Server, so that part should be OK. For example in the log I get:

It looks odd, but that's because this is on FME Cloud, which is a Linux platform, so the paths won't look like Windows paths. Still, I would add a Logger to the control workspace to log what it thinks are the file paths, just so you can be sure they are correct.

 

Then look at the log files for each helper workspace. Does it say that it can't find the file?

 

I hope this helps.
