Hi 

 

I was wondering would anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I need to run an FME workspace on a second machine in an automated way from my first machine. So I am using the systemcaller and passing the following using PSExec to remote call the fme workspace on the second server. Nothing is happening and im getting the exitcode 1

 

PSExec \\myservername "c:\Program Files (x86)\FME2019\FME.exe" d:\FME_Workspaces\test.fmw

 

If I run the above in cmd directly this runs exactly how I expect, is there something I am missing on the system caller side?

I have tried a few variations by adding cd C:\Windows\System32 before PSExec but I cant seem to get anywhere. It is essential I find a method to start an fme workspace remotely from the first machine, seems like it would be easy to do ?? Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Okay turns out I need to put the PSExec.exe into the following location C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64 I just had it in C:\\Windows\\System32 which worked ok from the cmd but not within fme . Persistence finds an answer!
