I have two simple FME workbenches that I would like to combine into one/ or into a single process.

The first workbench “PostProcessingPublishingFolderCreation.fmw” creates a new directory, sub directories and copies across two .pdf files contained in one of the sub directories. One of the sub directories is called “processed stereo imagery”.

The second workbench “CopyJpegsAndDeleteUncompressed.fmw” copies some compressed tiffs to the newly created processed stereo imagery sub directory and deletes some uncompressed tiffs.

I’ve investigated using a workspace runner, but ran in to trouble trying to provide one of the parameters/inputs for the second workbench as this had not yet been created, the new directory, and sub directories including “processed stereo imagery”.

Essentially “PostProcessingPublishingFolderCreation.fmw” creates a new directory and sub directories, specifically a sub directly called “processed stereo imagery”. Then use the folder path for “processed stereo imagery” as an input to a Directory and File Pathnames Reader in “CopyJpegsAndDeleteUncompressed.fmw”.

Is there a way of combing these workbenches or streaming/ further automating the workflow? Something like waiting for the first work flow to finish then pausing and entering the newly created directory as a new parameter for the workbench and continuing running?
