How to use Data Download after FMEServerJobsubmitters?

Hi all,

I have the following scenario:

A "master" workspace calling 3 other workspaces on FME Server 2017 using FMEServerJobsubmitter transformers.

Followed by a FileCopy writer (in the same "master" workspace) copying the files on the FME Server (using the resources folders).

This works perfectly (files are created and copied to the right location).

But I want to run the "master" as a Data Download service.

The ZIP file is created and a link is delivered. But the ZIP file remains empty.

It does not seem to collect the output from the FileCopy writer.

Am I missing anything (other than the option to re-read the data using a FeatureReader and writing using actual writers)?

Thanks for any suggestions.

This actually doesn't work, but your former colleague had a similar question (https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/41277/datadownload-without-writer.html) and according to @aaronkoning the following article should make it possible:https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/881/including-additional-files-in-the-data-download-re.html

 

Hope this helps

HI @itay.

 

I saw that question and the article, but it did not seem to work that way.

 

The FileCopy writer is in the "master". All files are copied in the right way, but not included in the download ZIP.

 

And the option to use a text file can not be used as part of the files are binary (MapInfo).
