Assume I have an automation that starts with a directory watch to capture an updated zip file in a folder. The zip file name is passed as a parameter (File Path) to the 1st workspace. This workspace is followed by a second workspace, which needs to use the same zip file as a parameter. I can not figure out an easy way to feed the File Path (zip file path) to the second workspace as a parameter, other than writing it to a text file and let the 2nd workspace to read from the file. Any advice to make this easier and streamline? The FME server is 2020.1.3.

You should be able to set that in the parameters section of the Automation. Check out Chapter 4 of the FME Server Authoring training.

@Hans van der Maarel​ , thanks for the hint. Look like I can pass the parameters between the workspaces by using Output Keys.
