I'm trying to change the default path for the Data Path, but when I do, FME Workbench is telling me that it does not have access to the directory. I'm not sure why it would not have access nor can I find the log file it keeps telling me to look for. Any ideas?

Hi @jlindahl,

 

Sorry you're running into this error. Does this occur right when you are changing the path in the settings - or is it rather an error that results from running a workspace with the new path? Would you be able to provide a screenshot of the error and let me know what version of FME you are using?

 

 

I haven't seen this before, but some troubleshooting steps to try might be to check that you have access and read/write privileges on the folder, and that you're using the full path if it is a mapped network drive. Eg. \\\\Server1\\data instead of F:\\data.

 

 

Hope this helps,

 

Nathan

We were able to fix the issue by reinstalling FME Workbench.
