Hello everyone,

I already looked at the following post, but this post is already 6 years old. 
Myself I don't have any experience with the the FMEServerJobSubmitter and I was wondering if there are other ways to pass the job-id from one workspace to another workspace in an automation.  I tried using the automation writer as a method to pass a job-id from one workspace to another workspace, but that doesn't seem to work, the job-id is empty in the second workspace.

If you have a parameter in the second workspace to receive job id, you can pass it the job id from the workspace by selecting job id under workspace parameters

Hi ​@joy I am looking to do something similar by optimizing and breaking a large workbench into parts in Flow. I was looking at this and some similar articles to use automation parameters to pass results etc in this new design. Do you think this would be a good start to pass data from one automation part to another in Flow?
