I would like start/run FME workbench from one external python script. Is there some simple syntax/command to do this?

You could do a call to os.system. Something like:

os.system workspace.fmw --arg_one --arg_two ...

Look in the Log window when you run your workspace and at the very top it will give you the command to run, it's usually in blue and says "Windows command-line to run this workspace:".

Hi, I'm trying to run a second workspace using python command in "Shutdown Python Script" in the first workspace using the following command. I just copied what Chad has written but its giving me an error. Is there anything I need to do different? Thanks, Sam import os os.system fme.exe C:\temp\test2.fmw --SourceDataset_ARCGIS_LAYER C:\ScratchParcel\DevEnv.gdb\AddressPoint --DestDataset_SHAPE C:\temp – Sam Jun 19 '12 at 14:02
