Can we input the HTTPCaller output as reader dataset in the same workspace. Using HTTPCaller we are dowloding a file from trimble connect, The downloaded .jxl file should be used as input dataset for reader. Could somebody provide your views to resolve this issue.

Connect the HTTPCaller Output to a FeatureReader transfomer.

From the above screenshot $(SourceJobXML) has been used as input dataset but the issue i'm facing is Reader first calling $(SourceJobXML) then HTTPCaller transformer is getting invoked in the process and then downloading the file from TC. As reader getting executed first it could not able to locate the required jxl file.

This. In my opinion classic readers should be phased out to motivate new users to use featurereaders. Always surprised why people still use classic readers, but all pre-featurereader documentation is produced with classic readers.

There are some options that are available with classic readers which aren't available with feature readers, the clip to search envelope option is the one that springs to mind
