i have a number of .bat files that launch python files. im trying to replace windows scheduler with FME and i am having trouble figuring out how to schedule a new task. i am using FME Workbench 2020.2.

FME Desktop does not include a scheduler, you'll need FME Server for that.

FME Server can only schedule FME workspaces. So if you want to schedule batch files, you'll have to create an FME workspace that launches the batch file (e.g. using the SystemCaller).

If you have a lot of such non-FME tasks to schedule, you may want to look into something more suited for this than FME Server (at least that's my personal opinion). There are several enterprise solutions out there that replaces the Windows task scheduler with something more powerful, that is better suited for e.g. batch jobs.
