Hi,

 

we are using an fme flow app do to some export jobs for us.

When the job is done, a mail is sent tot he user. This is done by using the transformer “emailer” after FeatureWriter. The mail contains the link to download the data. To generatet he download link we have oriented ourselves here: https://community.safe.com/automation-13/download-urlfrom-server-app-11037

 

Our download link looks like: {FME Server Web URL}/fmedatadownload/results/{zip file name from FME_SERVER_DEST_DIR}

 

But when I click on the link the message „Download Dataset Expired“ appears

 

Can anyone help us?

    Hi ​@limo I’m not familiar with the thread linked, but FME Flow will handle creating the data download link for you provided you have 1) registered your workspace with the Data Download service when publishing to FME Flow and 2) chosen the Data Download service when creating your workspace app. 

    Do you see the zipped dataset you are linking to get created in Resources\System\temp\engineresults after the translation has run?

    The links also expire in a day, so if you’re clicking a link from an old email, then it might no longer be valid.
