Are web connections different from database connections when uploading to FME Server 2017? I have a named connection that I've already uploaded. When publishing, it shows as needing to be uploaded again. But when I try to upload it it says "Named connection already exists". When I uncheck the upload box it says "connection will be unavailable on FME Server". It looks like if I publish the workspace and ignore the "connection will be unavailable" message, it still works. Is this a known issue in 2017.1? I'm using Build 17539. @SteveAtSafe

Hi @aarongundel, does Build 17539 refer to the Desktop or Server version? I want to refer you to this page, indicating known issues, the first one of which (Database Connection Upload via Publish Wizard) is very similar to what you are describing.
