Exercise

After publishing your workspace, the best next step is to run the workspace on FME Flow. This makes sure the workspace functions as expected before taking the workspace to the next level with an FME Flow App or Automation. 

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-flow.fmw. Simply click that link to open the workspace on your FME Flow.

If you want to run a workspace that is already published, just log on to FME Flow (2024.1 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 Flow Project (.fsproject) under Lesson Resources and import it to FME Flow using Projects.

2) Configure Parameters

Select the workspace to run and check that the parameters are correct. Fill out the Run Workspace page using these parameters:

Repository Training
Workspace exercise-publish-to-fme-flow.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

The page should look like this:

Run Workspace page filled out

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 that would be written. Click View Details to view information about the job.

The Job detail page shows that the workspace ran successfully, allows you to access additional statistics about the job, and contains the job log.
