Hi, 

 

 

With earlier versions of FME I have always saved .fme files that I  launch with a .bat file.

 

 

Now in FME 2013 when I start a .fme file it always start up a dialog box and I need to confirm all paths used in the file. This means that I am not able to start a .fme thru a .bat file.

 

 

Is there a good work a rount och setting that can help me?

    Johan - It's perhaps more practical to move away from .fme files and instead use .fmw files instead if you can. As far as I am aware .fme file support is really to maintain backwards compatibility, the main downside to them is that once you save a .fme file you can't then reopen the file in Workbench.

     

     

    .fmw files can still be run in a batch file with a cmd line like:

     

     

    fme c:\\temp\\test.fmw

     

     

    ...and they are still associated with the FME Engine.

    Sorry I just realised I have of course assumed that you authored your process with Workbench in the first place. Is that the case or have you hand crafted the .fme file?

    Today I realized that my problem wasn´t FME 2013- It was just a bad path!

     

     

    But I will start using .fmw files in my batch files instead - seems easier.

     

    Thanks!
