Hello,

with the upgrade to version 2026.1.2.0 I have run into a strange behaviour when using Excel writers.
FME Workbench simply says at the end:

FME was unable to finish the workspace translation due to an unexpected termination. Any data caches will be cleared because their data integrity is compromised.

This is currently not much to work with.
For pinpointing the cause, I deactivated all excel-writers in my workbench and it just ran fine.

Has anybode experienced this with Version 2026.1.2.0?

Kind regards,

Ryoung

We are also seeing this error message on a LineOnLineOverlayer in 2026.3. We can get it to run when we run the workspace to the transformer before the LineOnLineOverlayer, and then run it to the LineOnLineOverlayer, but not all at the same time.

In Windows Event Viewer, we’re seeing the following Error:

Note this does seem to be a bug introduced in 2026.3, as we just installed and ran it on the same machine in 2026.2.1.1 without any issues.
