Stopping a Translation

When you’re running a translation, the Stop tool becomes available. Click the tool to immediately stop the translation.

Note: Sometimes stopping a translation causes FME to create temporary files that can take up unnecessary disk space. It’s a good idea to select Tools > Purge Temporary Files (or press Alt + C) after you stop a translation.

What happens after you stop a translation?

When you stop a translation, the log view will display Translation Stopped. The output file is left incomplete and is not usable. If you run the file again, the entire translation will restart, overwriting any partial results from a previously aborted translation.
