Hi all,

I'm looking into running a workspace which is located in a read only folder. If I try to run the workbench I get the notification 'Cannot run workspace 'location' from it's current location because the containing folder is ready-only. Try saving to a new location and continue'. The reason why I would want to do this is about policies ofcourse.

I've gone through the basic options in FME workbench itself but cannot find anything related to this. I'm wondering if it's even possible?

best regards

Have you tried setting the logfile parameter to another location? If you have not specified a logfile name FME is going to try to write the logfile in the same directory as the FMW file (and will fail).

Can you run it in the Quick Translator tool? That might work where Workbench fails.
