Hi, I have a workspace which needs to read files from a network share directory. I am trying to run this workspace via fme server, which fails as it cannot access the network path.

I gather that I have to run FME Engine service under a different account. I have followed the steps in

http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/ReferenceManual/Directory-Account-Permissions.htm

I have an express installation of fme server 2018, all on the same machine.

So far I have done the following:

1) Change the service account to a non admin domain account. Grant logon as service to this account

2) Grant full access to fme server install directory C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer and fme server share directory C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server

3) Grant my domain account read access to the network path

Unfortunately the above still doesn't work. FME Server complains of being unable to read the files in the network dir specified.

Any ideas ?

Have you tried the steps outlined here?

Yes I followed the same steps.

 

 

In fact if I run FME Engines using my own domain account it works even though I am member of Administrators Group

 

 

When I run service as generic domain account, and try to run workspace it comes back with

 

Path Reader: Error opening the PATH Reader on folder xxx. Could not find folder.

 

 

It appears that permissions to some other folders required by FME Server may be missing for my generic domain account.
