Workspaces as Actions

In Automations Run Workspace is labelled an action, since it reacts to an incoming message and therefore must be set up by being connected to a Trigger.

Within an Automation the Action protocol is called (as you might have guessed) Run Workspace and falls under the Internal Action Category (orange node).

After selecting Run Workspace as the Action type, the user must first specify a Repository and workspace, the selected workspace is then examined and a list of its published parameters provided:

Having the parameters in a dialog like this means it is simple and easy to set up a workspace to run however you want it to in response to a trigger. Once created, whenever that Trigger receives a message from the sending client, the action will react by submitting that workspace to run on FME Server.
