Hi all,

 

 

Apologies for the vague question description, I'm not sure how to formulate my question.

 

When I share my workbench with my colleague the output path of the writer still points to a folder on my computer - so the path has to be changed by my colleague using the workbench.

A couple of years ago I managed to write the output to a folder where the workbench was located - regardless if it was on my computer or my colleague's - I forgot how to do this!

I remember going from:

to something like this:

Hope this makes any sense,

 

Cheers, Eduard

FME will automatically try and interpret paths as relative to the workspace (.fmw) file, if possible.

Try setting the target directory to the same as the workspace file, and the directory location should automatically "follow" the location of your workspace file.
