FME Flow 2023 GDB/GPKG writter with fanout expression not working

Does the fanout expression is available on FME FLOW 2023 ?

 

My FME Workbench works well on FME Server 2020, but on FME Flow, I got an error that mention that I don’t have the permission to write in the specific folder, but I have that permission. 

 

For example, the Destination Fanout is $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/temp and the Fanout Expression is /gpkg/test_@Value(attribut).gpkg.zip. I got this error message:

MULTI_WRITER: Failed to create folder '/gpkg/test_hello.gpkg.zip'. Please ensure you have sufficient permissions to create this folder

It seems like Destination Fanout is not taken into account.

Do you get the same error if you run it without the .zip at the end?

Thanks for your answer. I get the same error when I run it without the .zip at the end. 

I was able to write the GPKG with Feature Writer. I created an attribute that combines $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)/temp and /gpkg/test_@Value(attribute).gpkg.zip and use this attribute as 'dataset' in the Feature Writer.

Well, that is certainly odd though I am glad that the FeatureWriter method is working. Have you tried moving the /temp down to the fanout?

Hmm, you may want to reach out for a support ticket.
