I need to set attributes based on whether the workspace is running on FME Server or Workbench. I could do a published parameter to manually toggle a value etc. but I would like it to be more automatic. The idea is that when building and testing on Workbench, I get specific behavior related to that environment; if run on FME Server, this behavior adapts as well. Is there a way to determine from within a workspace where it is being run from? Thanks in advance.

I do this using python scripted parameters, based on fme_engine. See this topic:
https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/83878/scripted-parameter.html
If fme_engine is empty string then desktop, if contains test then server test, else is server prod.
Works like a dream, develop, push to test, push to prod, not changing anything.

Maybe I answered my own question...I could look at FME_JOB_ID to infer that...will test.

Thanks, doable as well and preferred if you have a dev FME Server. I tested the job id parameter and that appears to work well for what I'm after. Pretty easy to set values based on whether it's empty or not as follows:
