Sharing FME Engine Resources

Workspaces that are run fromFME Flowcan use custom formats, custom transformers, and custom coordinate systems in the same way thatFME Workbenchdoes. There are three ways to upload these shared custom resources toFME Flow:

  • Use theResourcespage of theFME FlowWeb User Interface: This method makes custom formats, custom transformers, and custom coordinate systems available to all工作空间s onFME Flow.
  • Publish toFME Flow: Makes a custom format or custom transformer available to all工作空间s in the same repository to which it is published.
  • Publish toFME Flowwith aWorkspace: This method allows you to add resources when publishing a工作空间. You can upload the resources to a repository or to a resources folder. If you upload to a resources folder, the resources are available to all other工作空间s onFME Flow. If you choose a repository, the resources are available to all other工作空间s in the same repository to which the current工作空间is published.

To publish custom resources toFME Flow

  1. Open the custom format or custom transformer inFME Workbench:

    File > Open > Select custom format/transformer

  2. Publish the resource toFME Flowas you would publish a工作空间.

    The resource then becomes available to工作空间s within the repository to which you published it.

To publish custom resources toFME Flowwhen publishing a工作空间

  1. Open the工作空间you want to publish inFME Workbench.
  2. Start the Publish toFME Flowwizard:

    3. File > Publish to FME Server

  3. On the PublishWorkspacedialog, click Select Files.
  4. On the Upload Files dialog, click Add Files.
  5. Select the resource file you want to include.
  6. On the Upload Files dialog, click Change Location.
  7. On the Change Upload Location dialog, specify an Upload Directory:
    • Upload to Repository: All resources published with the工作空间访问用户提供吗permission on the same repository. Other工作空间s in the repository can access these resources, provided their respective source dataset parameters are manually set to point to the resources.
    • Upload to a shared resource folder: All resources published with the工作空间will be available to all other工作空间s run fromFME Flow, from any repository. Resources must be uploaded to the applicable subdirectory underEnginein order for工作空间s to use them. For example, a custom format must be uploaded to theEngine > Formatsfolder.
      • Note  "> NoteIf custom coordinate system files are uploaded to any of the applicableEnginesubfolders, theFME FlowEngines service must berestartedbefore they can be used in a工作空间. These include theCoordinateSystemExceptions,CoordinateSystemGridOverrides,CoordinateSystems, andCsmapTransformationExceptionssubfolders.
  8. Complete the Publish toFME Flowwizard as usual.
