Hey all,

 

I'm playing around with fme server and the automations. I've got an interesting usecase. There is a SFTP that im wachting with fme server for creation events. I see as and output you get the filepath en filename. Now i want to grab that file within a workspace. I tried with the FTP caller. Is it possible to use the output keys to set up the URL in the ftp caller if so how so?

 

Cheers

Hey all,

 

Just found the answer by myself. You set up output keys to user parameters in the automation. That is if you define them in the workspace! So what did I do?

 

Created two user parameters called FTP_filepath and FTP_filename in the workspace userparameters 

if you the publish the workspace and place it in the automation after the trigger you can set up output

keys to these workspace defined parameters

outputkeystouserparametersThose you can use freely in the workspace itself! Nice!
