Subject: FW: [fme] Batch processing with Workbench

Hi Marion, 
It will always be SourceDataset and DestDataset. 
 
Because you may have more than one type of writer you get SourceDataset_CSV, SourceDataset_SICAD etc 
 
 And because you may have more than one writer for each format you get SourceDataset_CSV_1, SourceDataset_CSV_2 etc 
 
So from that you can work out what your macro names should be - it depends on how many of each writer you have in Workbench. 
Personally I'd also check the header to be sure if I had more than one writer. 
 
FYI In recent builds you'll find the command line that Workbench uses to process the file listed inside the file header as a comment. 
 
Some formats can't be batch processed using the Batch Deploy option so when you have them as a writer the option is greyed out. This usually relates to database formats such as Oracle, but perhaps plugins such as SiCAD would have the same issues. 
 
Regards,

Subject: [fme] Batch processing with Workbench

Hi group!
 
I am more familiar with ascii mapping files than workbench, but now I have to solve one problem with workbench in a batch process. So I saved the workspace as an fme mapping file to see which Macros are used for my two source datasets and the destination dataset. I found that
 
fme.exe '//%tWorkSpace//' --SourceDataset_SICAD_SQD_1 '//%tSQDFile//'.001 --SourceDataset_CSV_1 '//%tcdvFile//'.csv --DestDataset '//%tShapeFolder//'

does the job.
 
Is there any easier way than searching the fme mapping files or the workspace header to find out these macro names?
 
 
I read about menu File - Batch deploy - in the workbench help, but this item is greyed out in my version (FME Build 1378 (FME2004ICE3) and FME Build 1625 both as ESRI Suite)!
 
Any ideas??
 
Many thanks,
Marion
