So far my workflow was the following:

Open FME, run a workspace 'A' including a workspacerunner calling workspace B. Workspace B is in the same location as workspace A, and in the WorkspaceRunner I'm calling 'B.fmw', without a path. It is importent that B is found in the same location as a without, so that the project can be distributed to other computers.

Now I'm trying to call workspace A from the command line. But now the workspace runner does not work, workspace B is not found anymore. If I write the complete path in the workspace runner it works. But this is not an option for me.

In the log files one difference is that the 'Current working folder' originally was my workspace location. Using the command line it is now C:\\Program File\\FME. I assume that this might be related to my issue.

Is there any way I can tell FME to search for my Workspace B in the same Folder as Workspace A?

You can try $(FME_MF_DIR)\\B.fmw instead of B.fmw

Well, technically your method it works, but I'm missing the possibility to configure my parameters beforehand.

Hi @kath, I think that the FME Workspace parameter setting will be updated automatically when you copy the workspaces to another location. Make sure this.

[Edit] I mean the case where you set the parameter with the full path.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

Thanks, takashi, you are right, the path gets updated when copying to another location.
