How to make readers without input not throw an error ?


Forum|alt.badge.img
Hi,

 

 

I'm attempting to run a workspace that calls other workspaces (on an FME Server), collecting and passing a list of path names as input to the detail workspaces' readers.

 

 

When no path names are available for a specific reader (they're read from a db table), a blank string is passed. This however yields an error (when the reader apparently tries to open a file with a blank name), crashing the whole workspace.

 

 

Is there any way of disabling one or more readers based on a blank input ?

 

 

If not, Safe, this is an enhancement suggestion !!!

 

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

 

have you tried to enable "Ingore failed readers"?

Hi David,

 

 

Doh, I overlooked that in the setup. And so did my much more experienced colleague :-)

 

 

Thanks! I've resubmitted my workspaces, hoping it'll work this time (takes an hour to run).

 

 

Cheers
