Hello Y’all.

Im checking out this guide here in regards of how to create a WMS on Flow by ​@LizAtSafe:
How to Create a WMS Service Using FME Flow – FME Support Center

And its quite good.

But in my case I need to create a WMS service on our Flow that is straight up harvesting an external WMS (a classic GeoServer). As in that our WMS just fetches a pre-defined layer from the external WMS service and then returns that to our users. Our users being Enterprise Portal users seeing this as a WMS in a webmap.

I’ve kind of figured out that the main step here that is different is boycutting the “Create Image from source data” in the GetPNG one, but I am still bumping into problems.

Anyone having an experience about doing this here that is eager to contribute?

With regards, Hlynur.
