Question

FeatureReader Not allowing to read Multiple Files in FME Server?


Hi,

I am using FeatureReader to read JSON files, and converting to GDB, when I select multiple JSON files in Desktop it is working fine without any problem, but when publish into FME server it is not working (when select single JSON it is working fine) when select more than one JSON files.

Before I used JSON reader but due to some issues (not auto updating schema (attributes) until we manual update reader ) now not using.

Requesting you to help what exactly the reason for this error?

Hi @chanduguda​ ,

 

From the log snippet provided it looks like FME Server might be treating this as a single file path rather than multiple files.

  • What version of FME Server are you using?
  • From the Jobs Completed page can you view the failed job and share a screenshot of the Request Data published parameters section?

Have you tired using the same version of FME Desktop as FME Server? Your desktop and and FME Server versions should match as close as possible

Hi @chanduguda​ ,

Sorry I wasn't clear - the screenshot I was looking for, is not the job log, but the initial request data:

2022-03-18_09-05-07I'd also agree with @virtualcitymatt​ - please try using the same version of FME Desktop to publish the workspace. You can download this build from: https://downloads.safe.com/fme/2021/fme-desktop-2021.2-b21784-win-x64.exe.

 

Check out https://community.safe.com/s/article/installing-multiple-versions-of-fme for more info on how to have multiple versions of FME Desktop installed if you also need to keep 2021.1.1.

I am having what appears to be the same or a very similar issue with FME Cloud using the FeatureReader to read multiple DWG and PDF files.

 

Getting the same "The parameter to READER_DATASET must be a constant value, a value-of (&) attribute, or an FME function call" log message.

 

FME Desktop and FME Cloud are both on the same build (21816).
