If I run a workspace on FME Server through an FME-Engine, and
- if this workspace writes some output,
- and the output is specified without a path
e.g. write DXF to "test" ...
--> then the output is written to the FME-Server Repository directory, which is NOT where I prefer to get the result.
Is there a way to specify the working dir for the engine at runtime, like with a parameter ?
I found FME_WORKING_DIR in the engine configuration, but it seems to be static.
Thanks for any advice

You are looking for the "temp" directory for each transaction: Called: FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR. More information here:

Thanks for the hint. This should solve my problem.
Additional question is, if I can specify the FME_WORKING_DIR in some way if I use the FMEServerConsole to run the workspace.
Background: Most of my workspaces are used in both FME-Desktop and FME-Server environment and I am reluctant to publish a parameter FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR and then use the workspace in a desktop enviroment ?!
