Hi @willfrank2, if you want to specify the child workspace which is saved in the subfolder with a relative path from the root folder in which the parent workspace being saved, you can just set:

.\student-eligibility\student-eligibility.fmw
or
student-eligibility\student-eligibility.fmw
However, even if you have specified the child workspace with the absolute path when setting the WorkspaceRunner, the relative location from the root folder would be recognized automatically when you moved those workspaces to a location under other folder simultaneously, unless you change the relative location between them.

Hi @willfrank2

 

 

Because of the way parameters in FME work, the values don't get populated/evaluated until runtime, so the WorkspaceRunner doesn't know where $(FME_MF_DIR) is to bring through the parameters for the workspace. To bring through the parameters you will need to put in a non-parameterized path, unless somebody else knows of a workaround!
