Automation

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.  

Hi all,  We had a notification service setup and running on our FME Server but over the weekend the topics all disappeared. How could this have happened, any thoughts on the matter?  Best wishes, Annet

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 u

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
