Hi,

 

 

I have a workbench that I want to run on windows task Scheduler. What windows scheduler did was just opens up the workbench but it actually didn'tt run. I have workbench that downloads the data and save in my local geodatabase? I wanted to schedule a task so that it downloads the data everymonth?

Hi,

 

 

Have you batched the workbench? (File> Batch Deploy) after schedueling the .bat file that workbench should run as saved.

Hi,

 

 

another option is to copy/paste the command line from the FME workbench log window. When you run it manually, the top lines in the log window will contain the necessary parameters, e.g.

 

 

 

 

You can then define a scheduled task like this:

 

 

 

 

The add arguments need to contain the complete path to the workspace (.fmw) file as well as all the other parameters on the same line. In the above case, it should read:

 

 

d:\\temp\\test_workspace.fmw --SourceDataset_SHAPE D:\\Temp\\NewFeatureType.shp --DestDataset_FILEGDB D:\\Temp\\test.gdb
