Configuring Grid Transformation Definitions

You can modify grid transformation definitions and use them for explicit transformations in workspaces run from FME Server. You must make the desired changes in FME Workbench, then manually copy the applicable grid override file to FME Server.

  1. In FME Workbench, click Tools > FME Options > Coordinate Systems, and edit the applicable grid transformation.
  2. Configure a shared resources directory for FME Server (if not already done). For more information, see To make a custom resource available using the shared resource directive:.
  3. Locate the applicable grid override file from the FME Desktop machine:

    4. <user>\My Documents\FME\CoordinateSystemGridOverrides\<grid_override_file>.txt

  4. Copy the override file to the CoordinateSystemGridOverrides subdirectory of the shared resources folder.
  5. Open the grid override file in a text editor. You will see a relative path to the .\GridData folder. Change the relative path to a fully qualified path to the <FMEServerDir>\Server\fme\Reproject\GridData folder.
  6. Restart FME Server.
