We have a shared web and database connections directory, into which public FME connections go. Our service account that runs overnight tasks (via Windows Server 2016 task scheduler) has explicit permissions to this directory, but cannot see/use connections unless they are embedded in workspaces. Interactive login is disabled for this account, but I'm wondering if I might need to log in as the account and set default paths for FME so it can see the connections?

 

Alternatively, any other ideas for why this may not be working? In the current case the connection is to ArcGIS Online and there is no apparent option to embed the connection in the workspace. The connection was made public as it was created.

Seems the solution is one of:

  1. Get interactive login access granted and change in workbench
  2. Registry as per https://community.safe.com/s/article/scheduling-software-doesnt-recognize-fme-connectio
