Note The FME Flow Console is deprecated and will be removed from the FME Flow 2024.0 release. The FME Flow CLI, a command line interface for FME Flow, replaces the FME Flow Console. For more information, see the FME Flow CLI page.
To run the FME Flow Console use the following command:
<FMEFlowDir>\Clients\FMEServerConsole\fmeserverconsole.exe
Configuration File
The FME Flow Console reads in a number of configuration parameters from a configuration file when it is started. The configuration file is located at:
<FMEFlowDir>\Clients\FMEServerConsole\fmeserverconsoleconfig.txt
During installation, the parameters defined in this file are set to appropriate values and typically do not need modification. Most of the parameters define default values for FME Flow Console directive options. Therefore, in most cases, these options do not need to be present on the command line because the configuration file implicitly supplies the appropriate values for these options. Directive options are described further in Command Line Options.
If you do specify an option value on the command line, this value overrides the one assigned to it in the configuration file for the duration of the command.
Switching from a Direct Connection to a Web Connection
By default, the Server Console will connect to FME Flow using a direct connection. To switch to a web connection:
- Open the configuration file in a text editor.
- Change the
fmeServerHostparameter to specify the FME Flow web host URL and web port.
For example:
fmeServerHost=http://fmeserver.com:80
