Fme server app return a failure message if I use drag and drop way to put my input;
Hi All,
Despite the fact when I running an app and putting the input data for example like that "D:\\Roads_Input.gdb" which way is more diffecult to end user, the app will run successfully with no issues, but When I use the easier way which is drag and drop the gdb file, The app return a failure message!
What might be the issue here?

Hi @lubna_najeh, this could be an issue related to the fact that the File GDB is a folder and not a file. Maybe try to zip up the folder and then try the drag & drop again. FME automatically unzips any input, so I would expect this to work.
I hope this helps!
Thank you @gerhardatsafe .
Yes, you are right, but how the end user would know that he should zip up the folder before drop it
What do you think?

Hi @lubna_najeh,
When you build the Server App I'd recommend adding a description with some instructions for the end user to ensure the file upload is successful.
The description will appear below the App title but before the user parameters. Optionally you can use Markdown to style this text including changing the size or making it bold so it stands out to the user.
