I am trying to email a file geodatabase. I quickly learned that FME Server doesnt like folders and will only zip and email files. So I went back to the desktop client and set the gdb to be zipped for output. Tested it on local storage and I get a valid zip archive that contains the gdb folder.
I then publish that workspace to FME Server and run it with a geodatabase folder parameter of
$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\BuildingFootprintQC\\BFP_overlaps.zip\\BFP_overlaps.gdb
OR
$(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)\\BuildingFootprintQC\\
Neither works. The workspace runs without error but generates no output. I logged into the host server and checked the resources folders to make sure the zip is not there and indeed its not being created.
How can I get FME Server to follow the desktop function of zipping the output so I can tell the email action in the automation to send the gdb as an attachment?
Edit:
I checked the log and the entry MULTIREADER: output will be zipped only appears when running on the desktop client. In Server that entry is missing as if it doesnt honor the zip output function
