Republishing to FME Flow

The primary purpose of this feature is when you want to quickly republish a previously published workspace (.fmw), custom format (.fds) or custom transformer (.fmx) to FME Flow, without having to restart the Publish to FME Flow wizard. This feature is designed to replace only the authored file on FME Flow, but not any associated resource files, such as datasets.

If you have already published a file to FME Flow, the menu choice File > Republish to FME Server will become enabled.

Click File > Republish to FME Flow..., or click the button on the toolbar.

If you make changes to the file and select Republish to FME Flow, the publishing process starts immediately. FME Workbench will remember the last repository accessed, and the log window will display publishing statistics similar to the ones shown below:

Connecting to FME Server 'fmerserver_name' (port 7071, <user> login)...

Successfully connected to FME Server 'fmeserver_name'.

Accessing repository 'demos'...

Successfully accessed repository.

Uploading to FME Server as 'workspace.fmw'...

Successfully uploaded file.

Usage Notes

When you choose Republish to FME Flow, FME Workbench will also try to determine whether associated resources (if any) have been changed. If so, you will be prompted with the following message:

FME Workbench has detected that document resources have been changed. The Publish to FME Flow wizard will now be shown.

You will then be prompted to upload both the file and the updated resources using the Publish to FME Flow wizard.

If FME Workbench fails to connect to the FME Flow, you will receive an error message.
