Exercise Data Express - Asset Inspection (Part1)
Overall Goal To use FME Data Express to collect asset condition data
Demonstrates Creating a Workspace, publishing it to FME Server and then running it in Data Express to carry out the asset condition survey.

Create the Workspace:

Follow the video below to create the Workspace with the published parameters we will collect in the App.

The output GeoPackage can be writen to C:\FMEData2020\Output\ for testing locally.

Publish to FME Server:

Now we have created the Workspace we can publish it to FME Server.

Create a suitable repository on the Server to hold the Workspace, and publish using the Job Submitter Service.

Test Run on FME Server:

Once the Workspace is published to the FME Server we can test to see that it runs correctly before trying it in the Data Express App.

The GeoPackage will need an Output Location so copy and paste the below into the GeoPackage File parameter. $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/StreetLightInspection.gpkg

The Workspace will create the output file for us in that location and add subsequent survey results to this file.

Run the Workspace.

Check the Results:

Navigate to Resources -> Temp and you will see the GeoPackage created above.

Download the GeoPackage and Open it in the Data Inspector to check the data has been written.

Run the Workspace in the Data Express App:

Now we know the Workspace works correctly on FME Server we can run the Workspace in the Data Express App. Open the App, navigate to the Workspace and run it, remembering to provide the GeoPackage Location below.

$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/StreetLightInspection.gpkg

Once the Job has been submitted you can check with FME Server to ensure that it has been executed successfully.
