Hi,

I have a master workspace which calls inside another FME Workspace with the WorkspaceRunner Transformer. This transformers are set it up with relative paths.

I'm trying to call this master workspace with Python, but this is changing the FME_MF_DIR making it point to another disk in my machine E:\\TEMP.

This is making all my process fails because it cannot find the other workspaces.

When I run it from the workbench the FME_MF_DIR is set where I have the master workspace:

How can I tell python to overwrite FME_MF_DIR to the current folder where I'm running the workspace and not this temp folder?


Short answer, I don't think you can.

FME_MF_DIR is the directory where your current directory is running. My guess is that the FMEWorkspaceRunner actually makes a copy of your workspace and places it in your temp directory (equal to FME_TEMP, probably?).

If you need to find the path to your other workspace you'll need to find a different mechanism than FME_MF_DIR. On possible way of doing it would be to pass the value of FME_MF_DIR of the master workspace to the child workspace as a published parameter with a different name.
