Data download folder structure + file copy into folder structure.

Hi @itay​ ,

The Data Download service writes to a temp location on the engine, so does not use the file path value set in the workspace. If you'd like to change the folder structure within the zip file please see the answer on this question.

For your second query with the File Copy Writer this is actually a known issue. In your if the format attribute filecopy_dest_dataset is set FME will copy the files here instead of to the data download zip file destination (Bug Ref: FMESERVER-13766). Therefore to make sure these files are copied into the zip file, please do not set the filecopy_dest_dataset attribute in your workspace.

Hi @hollyatsafe​ ,

Thanks for getting back to me on this issue.

I have seen the article you mention and it explains how to add results into the data download zip file. What I am searching for is how to create a custom folder structure, for example myfolder and a subfolder (mysubfolder) for the translation results.

The structure gets created kind of correctly, the files that should be in the subfolder are written into the subfolder (using the write fanout expression), but each subfolder has the same main folder and what I need is 1 main folder (containing the copied files) and 1 subfolder containing the translated result.

Something like:

Next to that each main folder is created in a folder and the name of that folder is defined by the writer (ACAD1,ACAD2, etc), is there any way of avoiding that?

For your information this works perfectly on desktop.

For copying the files into the mainfolder I will remove the filecopy_dest_dataset from the workspace and give it a spin.

Cheers,

Itay
