Hi Mark, I'm assuming a Windows server?
If it's a recent build, your workspace should contain something that looks like this: # Commandline to run this workspace: # # # fme.exe mapinfo2csv.fmw # --SourceDataset_MAPINFO W:\GIS\Fonts\SanitarySewer\MapInfo\symtest2.TAB # --DestDataset_CSV W:\GIS\Fonts\SanitarySewer In Windows, you can just use this string (I would recommend adding the full path to the FME executable) as the command to run for a windows scheduled task. If you need to do something fancy (like backing up the destination files, running sql commands, whatever) before or after running the workspace and don't want to use the built in Python and TCL pre/post functions, I've had some success using VBS. Let me know if you want some examples.

I have all my datasources set, and they will not change (at least if they do it won't be a repetitive thing), so all I need now is a way to create some form of a batch file or script for the server to run automatically. Are there any suggestions? Cheers, Mark For insights into what's up at Safe Software and what's on the development horizon, visit Safe's blog at spatial-etl.blogspot.com.
