Download Shape-file with authentication

Hi, I need to automate the download of a Shapefile (as a ZIP) from a site which requires authentication. The Shape-reader will read a ZIP directly from a URL, but does not allow for authentication params. I have looked at HTTPFetcher but unsure how I can get this to download the file for me. Anyone?

Scheduling Chained Jobs Through Notification Service On FME Server

Hey all,  I have four workspaces that are designed to run one after the other through a notification service based on if the previous one was succesful or not. Now this works perfectly when manualy activated, but I need to transfer the process over to a Schedule as to make it run sometime during the night so it does not bog down the FME Engine. But, when this is done, it only runs the first workspace in the process and negates the success message to start up the second one.  Does the Schedule service not work well with the Notification service?

Data download URLs returning localhost

Hi,  The data download service on our FME server has started to return URLs with http://localhost:8080 instead of the server name. I can correct the URL in my app, but I'd rather get the service to return a correct URL.  I remember seeing an article about how to change the download URLs back for Server 2012 but I can't find it now. Where do I find the settings for changing the URL? (I've already tried changing the URL pattern in the services settings).  Thanks!

Notification Email

Hey there,  First time using FME Community to help with a Server related problem, but I have been wrestling with this road block for the better part of a couple days.  Within FME's Server Notification service, is there a way to set up a variable to read users as the "email to" portion of the subscription? What I am looking for is something similar to $(FME_SECURITY_USER), but within the notification outlet. I am working on a project that goes through chained FME jobs and returns a location to a file for colleagues within the office to receive (as in they will go on and activate the job themselves) via email. I have a shutdown python script on the last job at the end of the process that works fine, but I wanted to make the fail message apart of a notification service. Having a hardwired email address would be pointless for this idea.  Tl;Dr- Is there a way to integrate a universal "email to" parameter within the Notification service?  Thanks for the time.

Data download service with multiple readers

What is the best way to read multiple feature types, from multiple different data sources for data download service? I expect there will be 75+ feature types, mostly coming from one or two different SDE databases, but there will also be file-based (likely file geodatabases and/or shapefiles) coming from different sources via http/ftp.  All the examples I've seen for data download have the feature types coming from one reader and use the Feature Types to Read parameter to give the user the ability to choose which feature types to download.  Based on what I've found I'm thinking I need to use a FeatureReader(s) but I couldn't find examples on how to implement it for multiple data sources. I hope that's clear and I apologize if the answer is already out there, I just couldn't find it.  Thanks, Michael

URL in email

Hi All,  I am just starting to use FME server and immediately want to make use of some fancy options :)I have already been reading up the documentation and this article explains the method clearly. I basically need FME server to receive a mail with a url to a download service, download the data and trigger a database update. The example json contains :"email_publisher_content{0}": "MyBody\\r\\n", I guess this is where the url will be present (?) does anybody have some tips/experience to share about this?  Any help is appreciated, Cheers, Itay.

Dynamic file names for Data Download service

I have a workspace using a "Swiss Interlis" writer that produces an XML file. The writer takes the full path of the file from a parameter. I have linked this destination parameter to a Python scripted parameter that generates the file names dynamically depending on user input.  That workspace works fine in FME Desktop and as a Job Submitter service on FME Server. If I publish the workspace as Data Download service it fails with the error message: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" and also returning the source code of the Python parameter. It looks like the Python source code is used as a file path rather than running the script and using its result.  I changed the script to only return a filename instead of the full path, but I still get the same error message. If I enter a hardcoded file name into the writer destination parameter (instead of the Python script) everything works fine and the file name is used in the downloadable zip

Directory name generalization

Hi everyone,  I am pretty new with FME and I am using it to manipulate data that is delivered to my company on a quarterly basis. Because of this, there is a 'date stamp' on the folder name (for example "Current/Transport/Roads NOVEMBER 2012/Standard/") where NOVEMBER can have four different month names, depending on release date.  What I am trying to do is to 'generalise' the directory path in the readers with some wildcards if that's possible? I'd like to create a directory path that finds the files, no matter what's the date as long as the data is stored inside the 'Current' folder, for example 'Current/Transport/Roads */Standard/'  Hope I am being clear in this? Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you Gianluca
