Hello everyone,

 

 

The Case:

 

I have a 2TB Raster images source folder connected to a mosaic data set in fileGDB, I need to create/Publish workflow to clip a certain extent based on shapefile clipper to be uploaded by users on the server.

 

 

FYI: that the raster images/ mosaic dataset on a server and the FME is on another server.

 

 

The Situation:

 

 

Currently, I created the workflow below:

 

It works fine from the desktop application a bit slow though.

 

 

 

When publishing I get the below:

 

 

How to make FME server connect to the file gdb with the raster mosaic dataset without uploading any files to the server?

 

 

 

Hi @aabdellnasser,

You can try adding the raster location as a network resource to your FME Server.

Hope this helps,

I did found this article, but I am not sure how this will affect the FME server maybe you can help me to understand if I am adding 2 terabytes + of data to the resources of the server how that would affect the server performance?

 

 

 

Is there any risk to add a large size file or folder to the server resources?

 

 

Thanks,

If you add it as an external resource, than I dont think it will have much effect on your FME Server performance, but because it resides on your network this can have effect on performance.

Adding data to your FME Server environment and the effects on performance are difficult to estimate. It is advisable to make sure you have enough resources on the FME Server machine before adding so much data.

Both methods have their pros and cons, I prefer to avoid data duplication and add it as an external resource.

Sure will add it as an external resource will keep this thread updated if I faced any performance issues.
