A colleague upgraded another software on our FME server and somehow changed the setting on 100s of workspaces to Translation: Rejected Feature Handling:Continue Translation but they should be Terminate Translation... anyone able to batch change them back? I have tried - changed the default in FME Options, rebooting.... Thanks!

This was on FME Desktop 2017

Hi @cmcnamara

As discussed changing the default in FME Options will only apply to newly created workspaces. I spoke to a colleague after our conversation and she recommended doing a search and replace on the workspace files themselves from within a text editor.

The option would be in a line like:

#! TERMINATE_REJECTED=“NO”

so just change it to:

#! TERMINATE_REJECTED=“YES”

My next thought is... would an upgrade to 2018 help?

Thanks! I've got 100 workspaces, so I'm hoping not to have to manually update them all - they all changed to Continue and I want Terminate.

Hi @cmcnamara

 

No, you can open up the .fmw itself in a text editor.

I'll also add that there are utilities out there that can do the search-replace as a batch operation on the contents of a whole directory at once. That way you don't have to open each and every .fmw file in an editor, do the changes manually and save. Might be helpful here.

This saved the day! Thank you! @david_r
