Invoke FME batch process/Process using c#

You can certainly schedule FME processes using FME Server.

However, I believe you can also call an FME workbench using Python. This could easily be scheduled using Task Scheduler or something similar. I found this pdf on the Safe website of a Conterra webinar. On page 11 (Sample #2), they show how you can call an FME workspace from a Python script using the following code:

import os

os.system('fme.exe AnyWorkspace.fmw \
    --SourceData AnySource \
    --DestinationData AnyDest \
    --AnyParam ParamValue')

The questions posted here and here might also be of assistance.

You can run FME as a command line with datasets as arguments. You should set up a script, then use C#, or Python, or whatever to run this workspace with your layers that you want to process as arguments.

Or you could try using FME to do it all, since you have it!

Yes, you can do this with any of the supported languages - including Python and (I believe) C#. You would need to use the iFMEWorkspaceRunner class of FME Objects.

There are eight different methods including run, promptRun, and runWithParameters
