Question

FME run from python runs 2018 instead of 2019 FME


I have a number of FME scripts launched by python scheduled task. Both 2018 and 2019 FME are on the server and the python is launching the 2018 FME which is making some scripts fail. How can I make 2019 the default version launched. Do I need to uninstall 2018? I have a number of 2018 scripts I have not saved as 2019 yet. Will that cause problems?

 

thanks,

How do you launch FME from python? I guess you need to write the whole path of your fme.exe for the version 2019.

Either that or make sure FME 2019 is mentioned first in your PATH environment variable.

Yes, just skip Python and call the executable you want, like here:
