Copying and renaming a folder to a different location

Hi @mackenziebudda

In the attribute Destination Folder ( transformer AttributeCreator ) , please include:

Thanks in Advance,

Hey @danilo_fme,

It worked! thanks for the help. The only thing now though is that it's not replacing the name of "new project template " with my @value(Project_WO_name). Instead it just creates a new folder with the @value(Project_WO_name) name and the "new project template" folder is nested inside.

Any suggestions?

if you want to change the name of the file, the new name must be stored in an attribute called filecopy_dest_filename.

@jdh I thought I'am doing that. I created the attribute called "Project_WO_name". This attribute is then passed to the filecopy writer.

Is filecopy_dest_dataset an absolute or relative path?

@jdh

The filecopy_dest_dataset is an absolute path. I have an attribute creator going into the filecopy that sets that attribute as "U:\\2020\\..."

The attribute creator also sets the filecopy_source_dataset as "T:\\2020\\folder_template" where folder_template is a folder with a few empty sub-folders

If I understand correctly you have something like

U:\\2020\\ProjectWO\\subfolder\\etc

@jdh Thats exactly what's happening

I don't have 2019 on this computer.

On the filecopyWriter set the Destination File Copy Folder to C:\\ (or a temp drive, it's irrelevant, but it will be created if it doesn't exist) and then unlink from user parameter.

Create the projectWO user parameter

filecopy_source_dataset: T:\\2020\\folder_template

filecopy_dest_dataset: U:\\2020\\$(Project_WO_name)

In FME 2020 that produces the correct results.
