FME Workbench is used to author and publish the workspaces used by FME Flow. FME Workbench is not part of FME Flow; rather, it is part of the FME Form product. Contact your Safe Software account manager or your local Safe Software reseller, if you would like more information about FME Form.
If you don't have access to FME Form, you cannot publish workspaces to FME Flow, although you can still perform and test the installation.
Connecting to FME Flow
Web connection allows FME Workbench to connect to FME Flow using the HTTP protocol. It requires the Web Application Server port to be open to communication between the FME Workbench computer and the FME Flow computer.
Version of FME Workbench
The version of FME Workbench you use must match the FME Flow version you have installed. This requirement ensures that the workspaces you author will run when published to FME Flow.
If you are running an FME Flow version that is older than your FME Workbench, it is possible to upgrade the FME Engines used by FME Flow to match your FME Workbench version. Instructions for upgrading the FME Engine only are available in FME Engine Only Upgrade
