Hi,

 

I'm currently sending a excel file via a XlSXW writer with FME SERVER. I am able to receive it with fmedatadownload as a zip file. Is there anyway to received it unzip, just as a .xlsx?

 

I saw in the documentation the following:

The download is returned as a zip (compressed archive) file for the following reasons:

  • The result is a number of output datasets (not just one dataset).
  • Folder-based datasets do not consist of a single file; for example, ESRI Shape format has files with the extension .shp, .shx, .dbf, and some others.
  • Even file-based datasets may consist of more than one file; for example, a GML dataset includes both a GML file and an XSD (XML Schema Definition) file.

 

So my guess is that its not possible to receive it unzip.

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Ian

Hi @Ian Gagnon-Renaud​ ,

 

You're right, it is currently not possible in FME. Would you consider using the Data Streaming service? Your excel file output will not be zipped, however it won't provide a URL.

 

I found a similar request on our Ideas Exchange that you may be interested in adding your vote to.

 

Hope this helps!
