We would like to showcase two web based applications that consume FME Server Services to perform various tasks like data uploads, job scheduling and coordinate conversion. The first application is a Data Upload application that allows business data owners to perform on-Demand updates to Production/Test/Development Environment. Additionally, Scheduling capability has been incorporated into it, which allows data owners to schedule jobs on FME Server. This application consumes FME Server REST API's to invoke a published workspace or set up a scheduled job on FME Server. The second application is a Coordinate Conversion application that converts coordinates between different coordinate systems(geographic/Projected). This has a clear user interface with only the parameters that users need, clear coordinate system names, clear datum transformation method names etc. The wait time associated with a local software install to perform coordinate conversions is now eliminated. Additionally, this application allows for a companywide standard that can be used for verifying correctness of coordinate conversions in other software packages.

2. Self Serve Data Load Application
 Challenges in promoting data to Production Environment
 Lengthy process (Initiate a change request and go through a process of
approvals)
 Necessity to write scripts (SDE command line/FME Workbench)
 Necessity to monitor the job until it gets finished
 Communications (exchange of emails on Requests /Work assignments /
PIT – Post Implementation Test etc.)

3. Self Serve Data Load Application
 All these challenges have been addressed by developing a web application using FME
Server REST APIs.
 With this web application, the Business data owners can themselves:
run a job to get the data refreshed in the Production geodatabase (from Test geodatabase) by
click of a button.
schedule a job on FME Server via the application GUI
get Notifications to data administrator and data owner upon completion of job
even refresh data into Test or Development Environment from Production.

4. Self Serve Data Load Application
 Technologies Used:
 FME Server REST APIs (Access FME Server Services)
 FME Desktop (To author and publish FME Workbench)
 .NET C# (Build web application)

13. Self Serve Data Load Application
Conclusions:
 The following have been achieved by developing this application:
 streamlined the data promotion process
 No more wait times
 No need to write scripts
 Data owners are no more dependent on Data Administrators to promote data.
 Highly secured and easy to use GUI.
 Job Scheduling capability – load data anytime
 No need of continuous monitoring of a job
 Reduction of email communications.
