We have to run various workbenches (and other scripts) automatically and repeatedly with different timeperiods in between, so I wrote some python scripts to run them.

In those scripts I check the returncode of FME and if it's <> 0 (Translation was successful) then my scripts throw an error.

But obviously FME sometimes returns 0 (Translation was successful), even though there is an ERROR in the Logfile and the translation was NOT successful.

How come? Isn't this a bug?

Thanks in advance

Vera

Yes, I do find that sometimes we don't stop a translation when we should or that we stop when we shouldn't. Can I suggest you file a case with our support team (safe.com/support) or your local reseller support.

Either we should change this to a WARNing, or - if it stays as an ERROR - we should halt the translation. But we'll probably need a copy of your workspace and source data to be able to replicate the problem

Oh! I'll also mention that there is a parameter in the Navigator window (Workspace Parameters > Advanced > Ignore Failed Readers) that could legitimately cause an error to be ignored. So first check that is not set to Yes before filing a case.

This is a security issue... Error message was 'can't open file for reading'

FME doesn't have an access to read your File. You can ignore your Failed Reader but it's not a good option in batch process.

The parameter "ignore failed reader" ist set to No. (The error lies in a Joiner-Transformer that tries to open an Excel-File that doesn't exist)

I'll send the the workbench to the support.
