Hi @pholmes, I'm currently working on writing an updated version of that article series for 2017 which should be posted within the next couple of days. 

The reason you are receiving this error is because the FMEServerJobSubmitter was changed between 2016 and 2017 and the $(output_path) parameter no longer exists. 

A workaround for now until the article is posted:

In the AttributeCreator after the FMEServerJobSubmitter, for the download_link attribute enter:

$(HostName)/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP/filesys/convert_tool/output/@Value(_rootname).zip?accept=contents&token;=$(ServerToken)

If you don't have the HostName and Server Token user parameters set up, just replace it with your actual Host Name or localhost and your current Token. 

Ensure that your FMEServerJobSubmitter is updated to the latest version if you are working from the workspace that was provided in the 2016 tutorial. 

You might also have to change the DestDataset_GENERIC in the FMEServerJobSubmitter to 

$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/convert_tool/output/@Value(_rootname).zip

Hopefully that helps you finish the tutorial. I will post the updated tutorial here once I have finished it.
