Module Review

This module introduced you to running workspaces on FME Server. What You Should Have Learned from this Module

The following are key points to be learned from this module.

Theory

• FME Server is a Model Driven Architecture – where workspaces are the models

• FME Desktop (particularly FME Workbench) is the authoring tool for FME Server workspaces

• FME workspaces are published from Desktop to Server and stored on FME Server in repositories

• Data (and other related files) can be uploaded and stored on FME Server as “Resources”. The output from a translation can be written to a Resources folder too.

• The Job Submitter service is for running a workspace “as-is”

FME Skills

• Publish a workspace from FME Workbench to FME Server, creating a new repository if necessary

• Upload source data to a Resources folder on FME Server

• Run a workspace on FME Server – either through the web interface or via a URL – that makes use of datasets in a Resource folder

• Examine the results of the translation to see if it was successful
