After publishing your workspace, one of the most common next steps is to run the workspace via FME Server.

1) Find Published Workspace

If you have recently published your workspace, you can find the link to it in the Translation Log. In the last exercise, the Log reported that our published workspace can be found at http://localhost/fmeserver/#/workspaces/run/Training/exercise-publish-to-fme-server.fmw. Simply click that link to open the workspace on your locally-hosted FME Server.

If you want to run a workspace that is already published, just log on to FME Server (2021.1 or later) and click Run Workspace on the sidebar.

Run Workspace menu

Note

You can also browse for workspaces on the Workspaces page. Simply click on a workspace name to open it on the Run Workspace.

Note

If you haven't published the workspace yet, load the FME Server Project under Resources to add it to your Server.

2) Configure Parameters

Before running the workspace, you should check that the parameters are correct. Fill out the Run Workspace page using these parameters:

Repository Training
Workspace exercise-publish-to-fme-server.fmw
Service Job Submitter
Source Geography Markup Language (GML) File(s) (optional) https://s3.amazonaws.com/FMEData/FMEData/Data/Emergency/FireHalls.gml
Source Google KML File or URL https://s3.amazonaws.com/FMEData/FMEData/Data/Boundaries/VancouverNeighborhoods.kml

Your dialog should look like this:

Once the parameters are configured, click Run.

3) Observe the Results

This workspace uses a NULL writer, so no data is actually written. You should see that 14 features were successfully passed to the writer though. You can click View Details to view information about the job.
