Hi All - 

I have done this multiple types with different data formats/inputs (e.g., Excel, CSV, Shapefiles) with no issue. However, I can’t seem to be able to allow end-users to select a fgdb from their drive and use as an input for the script (very simple script which converts Feature Class to other formats). 

The Workbench works perfectly fine via setting up a User Parameter which is linked to the ESRI File Geodatabase FeatureReader. I could even add another User Parameter to allow users to select specific Feature Classes for the script which is handy too but not necessary (linked to Feature Types to Read).

However, once this is published in Flow then the interface doesn’t allow for the end-user to “Upload Files” like other Self-Serve Apps I have created. You only have the option to “Browse Resources” which doesn’t let you browse your computer to select the relevant File Geodatabase. 

Note that I have tweaked with the User Parameter “Item to Select” choice and chosen either ‘Folder’ or ‘Geodatabase’ (both work OK in Workbench) and still have the same issue. 

Hope is something silly. Thanks in advance! 

 

 

Hi ​@xanduqe,

The GDB is a folder, not a file, even though it has an extension, so it can’t be selected through FME Flow’s upload files interface. Please zip up the .gdb folder, then upload the .zip file instead. Flow can automatically read the contents of a zip file and use the files within it.
