Hi,

I have a deployment parameter (Text) that is pointing to an SDE file on FME flow in my shared resources. When I try to set a local value in form, it ignores this value and throws an error saying it can’t access the share resources file path. I’ve tried creating a deployment parameter that is  type: database connection, but this doesn’t work either. Here’s the error:

This was working a week ago and now it refuses to acknowledge the local value.

 

Many thanks,

 

Sam

In the error message it looks like a path relative to the root of your file system. Is this really correct? Does the folder “/SDE_Files” and all subfolders exist?


Hi @david_r my local value that I set is DEV SDEFILE .The FME Flow value is $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/SDE_Files/GISICOMSQLDV_YWSEWER_USER.sde . I assume flow is trying to read this in, and it;s dropping the shared resources part as it’s enclosed in brackets. Either way, it’s completely ignoring my local value that i’ve set


Interesting, perhaps FME Flow can’t resolve other macros in the context of deployment parameters? Sounds like a question for Safe support.


Hi @david_r ,

I was using a text value that was pointing to the location of an SDE file. A fix for this was creating a deployment parameter of type ‘database connection’ which allowed me to use a local value.

 

IT seems FME form didn’t let me use a local value of type “text” to point at database files
