Fetch FME Server parameters on Desktop ?

I'm building a simple workspace to generate a (for now) simple dashboard for FME Server. I'm naturally using Workbench for this. But every time I run to test the workspace, it fails because the FME Server parameter isn't available on desktop:

Starting translation...
Undefined macro `FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DASHBOARD' dereferenced in file .....
Program Terminating
Translation FAILED.

Why are these server parameters not just missing or blank, so I can run and test for them and run the workspace on desktop, instead of crashing my workspace ? They're readily available in the transformer dialogs.

Any work-arounds for this ?

Cheers

You can override them on Desktop by simply setting a value. This value will be ignored when the workspace runs on Server.

Example:

2020-10-13 14_22_38-NONE → NONE (Untitled) - FME Workbench 2020.1

Thanks David.

That's a rather neat way of handling it, and it works perfectly.

I wasn't aware that you could do that, but then I am still a novice in the field of using FME Server in production.

Cheers.
