I copy a workspace into a resources folder using the upload tool. What then?

• A. I can run it by browsing the resources, selecting the workspace, and clicking run
• B. I can run it through the Manage > Workspaces menu tools
• C. I can run it by calling it with the FMEFlowJobSubmitter transformer in FME Form
• D. I can't run it because it's not published to a repository

Answer: (D)

Uploading the workspace to a resources folder is just storing the file; it doesn’t register it as a runnable item in the execution environment. To run a workspace on FME Server/Flow, it must be published to a repository so the server can manage and execute it. Until it’s published, there’s no runnable version available on the server. If you need to run it locally, you could open and run the file in FME Workbench, but for server execution it must be published to a repository.
