Question

Are there any Best Practice alternatives that can be used in place of Environment Variables on FME Server?

We are currently planning on using Environment Variables to set the output location for Workspaces put through the Job Submitter Service on the server. I was wondering if there is a better way where we can set a parameter within FME Server for the same purpose?

There's a number of FME Server specific user parameters available in Workbench for you to use:

In your case the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA is probably the one to look in to.

I agree about using the FME Server shared resources, see the documentation: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/WebUI/Resources.htm

It is also possible to add your own resources, e.g. referencing a network directory or other shared folder: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Adding-Modifying-Resources-Directories.htm
