Not sure if this is the right space to post this but here goes:

I just spent most of the morning trying to automate my data workflow using FME, .bat files and Windows Task Scheduler.

The logic is:

1. Task Scheduler runs a workbench .bat file
2. The .bat file executes an FME workbench

Detailed Errors:

2019-07-09 11:52:00| 0.6| 0.0|ERROR |Geodatabase Error (-2147024893): The system cannot find the path specified.

2019-07-09 11:52:00| 0.6| 0.0|ERROR |Could not open File Geodatabase dataset `geodb path' for reading

My troubleshooting:

1. The translation is successful when running from within FME
2. The translation is successful when running directly from the .bat file
3. The translation is NOT successful when using Task Scheduler to run the .bat file

Solution(?)

I changed the following setting in Task Scheduler:

My translation is now successful using Task Scheduler.

I'm writing this post to help others who are having similar issues.

I would appreciate if anyone can explain the difference between the two settings... I must have misinterpreted what they actually do.
