I have a parent workspace and that is calling a child workspace in FME Form using a WorkspaceRunner transformer. The child workspace references deployment parameters.

 

When the child workspace is run from the WorkspaceRunner I receive the following error:

 

ERROR : 2: Undefined macro `APP_API_URL' dereferenced in file.

 

APP_API_URL is the name of a deployment parameter that I have permission granted.

 

I tried creating a published parameter in the child workspace whose default value is the deployment parameter but I get the same result.

 

Are deployment parameters not supported with WorkspaceRunner?

 

FME(R) 2025.2.0.0 (20251120 - Build 25810 - WIN64)

    You should not use the WorkspaceRunner on FME Flow, it’s not supported. From the manual:

    Use the FMEFlowJobSubmitter in stead.

      Sorry I wasn’t clear, the workspaces are being run from FME Form, not FME Flow. We are using the deployment parameters for standardization and access control.
